Abstract: This article aims to assess the corporate social performance of North American companies. We present the results of an exploratory study conducted on a 2848 companies sample extracted from the MSCI ESG STATS ® 2011 database. Our analysis, based on a hierarchical clustering technique, leads us to identify four clusters: uncommitted companies (N), committed companies (E), controversial companies (C) and perfectible companies (P). To achieve a better understanding of the differences between groups in our sample, we conducted a comparative analysis by relying on economic, demographic and financial information. If the relationship between financial variables and ESG performance tends to remain weak and vague, the economic and demographic variables (size, sector affiliation, research and development expenditures) seem to exert a significant impact on corporate social performance.
