Present technological innovations and social organizations continue to impose risks and
limitations on the efficient performance of the biosphere. Human activities have increasingly
short-lived sustainable natural endowments, to the extent that, the multiplier effects have ripples
beyond the traditional benefits of economic production and consumption. Therefore, this study
addressed practical concerns on how industries in Sub-Saharan Africa promote sustainable
development in their corporate social responsibility models, using industries in Cameroon as a
case study; it examined economic, social, and environmental components of sustainable development
and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our sample consists of 335 business enterprises from the
last Censure Survey of Enterprises in Cameroon. The study adopted a systematic analysis through
the Adjusted Residual Test, and the Phi and Cramer’s V tests. Findings revealed that industries in
Cameroon prioritize environmental and social dimensions over economic dimensions. However, a
few large enterprises implement a broad CSR that promotes sustainable business practices, whereas
smaller ones do not; industries in Cameroon implement environmental dimensions of CSR as a safe
buffer and a social dimension as philanthropy. Hence, there is no concrete evidence that industries
promote sustainable development via CSR in Cameroon. The implementation of a sustainable
business model is a precondition for promoting sustainable development via CSR. Industries should
realize the concrete value in implementing a sustainable business model that helps to adjust to the
complex and increasingly changing business environment.
