Introduction Today, due to ever increasing interactions of corporate with their environments and the society in which they are working and living, they have to interact with the society to continue their activities and businesses so that not only they inflict harm to the society but also their results are useful for the society. One of the most important issues through which many corporate currently try to gain acceptance is legitimacy and competence. Nowadays, corporate which have legitimacy can have an active presence in the market. Such legitimacy is not an issue that can be bought or imported from elsewhere but a credential issue that corporate should achieve in society through their behaviors. In this context, many models have been introduced in recent years that corporate try to gain legitimacy and acceptance in the community by observing their regulations.

Since the early 1920s, other management researchers have emphasized on the social responsibility of economic enterprises in their writings (Ghaheri, 2010). Religious investors have presented ethical frameworks for investment and activity in the field of business since1926 in the United States and1948 in Britain. In short, from 1950s on ward, various aspects of CSR are as follows: (Taghavi and Haghighi Kaffash, 2007) 1950s: Commitment to society 1960s: Relationship between corporate and society 1970s: Improvement of participation of beneficiaries,
