Abstract
This study investigates the effect of externally observable board characteristics

and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm performance for Norwegian

listed firms. Board regulations have influenced Norwegian listed firms’ board

structure ever since the gender balance law was implemented in 2008. In 2013,

the soft law on CSR reporting affected large firms’ relation to CSR engagement.

Hence, this research will contribute to the understanding of the effect of these

regulations on firm performance. The findings show no statistically significant

results for board characteristics on firm performance. These findings indicate that

the regulations have been successful in creating an optimal board composition. A

positive significant relationship is found between CSR engagement and firm

performance. The study further extends previous research by examine the effect of

board characteristics on CSR engagement, finding a positive significant

relationship on the number of board members and CSR.
