One of these exigencies is the adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Due to frequent discussions concerning this theme, as well as, counting with a more critical look from consumers, government, society and other stakeholders under the behavior of organizations, many companies started to rethink their actions and to implant practices that consider their impact on the environment and society. Within this context, the present study had as its objective to identify the socially responsible performance of a cosmetics and perfumes franchise from the perception of an internal public that operates at the tactical level of a franchised in the city of Campina Grande - PB.

Data were collected through techniques: documentary research, participatory observation and questionnaire, which was elaborated based on the parametrization of the TCCP Model, Carroll (1979), made by Macêdo, Gadelha, and Cândido (2014). The results show the types of corporate social responsibility, the implanted sustainable practices, and the socio-environmental behavior response of the organization. It was found that the franchise has a socially responsible posture, since it was identified a positive frequency of categories of responsibility economic, ethical, legal and discretionary. Regarding CSR activities, it was found that the company has strong practices focused on product safety, consumer and environment, while those related to safety at work and shareholders can be better worked to achieve a more positive outcome.
