The study carried out a survey of 316 small and medium sized enterprises allocated according to different business sectors and territories in Vietnam. The main purpose of the study is to assess the impact of corporate social responsibility compared to other factors developed in the research model affecting the sustainable development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. The observations constructed by research team and inserted in the corporate social responsibility policy scale are: Participation in vocational training support programs in the community; Building programs on clean water and sanitation; Training and improving the capacity and social knowledge for workers; Contributing to social activities in the locality; Paying attention to issues of environmental pollution treatment; and finally complying with the provisions of law to ensure food hygiene and safety and environment. The authors applied regression analysis to assess the impact of corporate social responsibility policies on sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The research results showed that the social activities of enterprises have a positive influence on the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam, besides other factors such as: Enterprise management capacity, finance, human resources and support policies from the government.
