For this purpose, a sample was established by combining the world’s two major telecommunication companies with Turkey’s largest telecommunication company within the framework of some constraints. This research points out that community involvement and environmental reporting consist of the main issues that these telecommunication companies focus on corporate social responsibility reporting.
