Methodology/Technique – This study uses companies listed in the non-financial sector on the Indonesian Stock Exchange between 2014-2016. There are 64 companies that meet these criteria using a purposive sampling method. Findings – The results show that media exposure, taxes aggressiveness, institutional ownership, independent commissioner, and firm size have an influence on corporate social responsibility disclosure. Firm age, leverage, profitability, liquidity, and managerial ownership have no influence toward corporate social responsibility disclosure.
