The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concept is not a new phenomenon for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) operating in the Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian government has taken many initiatives in this regard. Arab forum for Environment and Development (AFED ) in their 2008 report have confirmed that the Arab countries have to shift their focus on the green economy to achieve sustainable development and this is possible if CSR is being successfully implemented in all the business organizations specially SMEs. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to analyze the awareness of SMEs regarding the concept of CSR and their efforts towards the CSR for a greener Saudi Arabia.
