Summary: This study examines the differences in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices among franchise firms in Spain based on the leader's gender and industry sector.

B2B companies overall participate more in instrumental CSR, and there are no significant differences between B2B and B2C firms in normative CSR. Interestingly, female-led firms are more involved in CSR practices (both normative and instrumental) in the B2B sector compared to B2C, whereas male-led firms are more inclined towards instrumental CSR in the B2C sector.
