The study also found that growth rate of CSR expenditure on education and environment sector decreased in 2013 compared to the previous years. So for the wellbeing of the society CSR expenditure of AB Bank should increase much more. This study further found that the CSR practices of Bangladesh are confined within some selected sectors. Therefore this study suggests some possible areas should be considered for CSR activities.
