Introduction
The study of CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility) measuring methodshas been widely
applied in various countries due to issues of CSR becomes aimportant matter in the past few
decades. Sofyani et al. (2012) stated that the concept of CSR is preferred in Islam. Institutions
that do business based on sharia is essentially based on the fundamental Qur'an and the Sunna
philosophy, which is the basic for good interaction with the environment and each other.

Along with the rapid development of Islamic banking, financial institutions have done
CSR in some publicsectors. The amount of CSR funds from Islamic banking in 2009 was Rp
1.45 trillion. In 2010 a large total of Islamic banking’s CSR funds reached Rp 1.74 trillion. In
this case iB (Islamic Bank) will distribute the CSR funds to tree parts; 50 percent for microeconomic entrepreneurs, 25 percent for education, and 25 percent for natural disaster relief and
other social activities (Vivanews, 2009).
Nowadays, associated with the disclosure requirements of social responsibility in
Islamic banking, prevalent discussed the Islamic Social Reporting Index or ISR index (Sofyani
et al., 2012)). In particular index ISR is an extension of social reporting which includes not
only the public's expectations about the company's role in the economy, but also the company's
role in the spiritual perspective (Haniffa, 2002). Thus, researchers interested in analysis how

the social performance of Islamic banking that listed in Bank Indonesia by using the ISR index
during the period 2009-2011. This research aims to determine the social performance of Islamic
Banking by using ISR index.
Literatatures Review

Definition of CSR by WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development)
in Watts and Holme (1999) is "corporate social responsibility is the continuing commitment
by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the
quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society
at large". CSR is a company's commitment as a business to behave ethically and contribute to
economic development of the country.
Islam is a complete religion which govern all aspects of human life on the earth. Siwar
and Hossain (2009) stated that the basic foundation of the religion of Islam is belief and faith,
worship, and morality and ethics. One form of accountability in Islamic perspective is the
implementation of social performance and social performance reporting that according to
Islamic principles.
According to Haniffa (2002) that takes a special framework for social accountability
reporting as a social performance measurement of a company in accordance with Islamic
principles. This framework is known as ISR index (Islamic Social Reporting index). Islamic
principles inISR index is generating aspects of the material, moral, and spiritual that became
the main focus of this form of social performance and corporate social responsibility reporting.
There are six themes in ISR index disclosure framework is used in this research refers
to Sofyani et al. (2012) such as financing and investment, products and services, employees,
community, environment, and corporate governance. Each theme consists of several items such
as attached in Appendix 1.

Othman and Thani (2010) in their research of Islamic Social Reporting of the listed
companies in stock exchange of Malaysia concluded that the Islamic Social Reporting in the
annual report index companies listed in stock exchange of Malaysia is still relatively low.
While, Zubairu et al. (2011) in their research of social performance disclosure of Islamic Banks
in Saudi Arabia concluded that Islamic Banks have a lot in common with a conventional bank
located in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Banks should carry out various forms of activities based
on sharia, but in reality between Islamic Banks and conventional banks have not clearly visible
differences. Sofyani et al. (2012) in their research of Islamic Social Reporting as an index of
social performance measurement model of Islamic banking (comparative study of Bank
Malaysia and Bank Indonesia) concluded that the overall social performance train-average
Islamic banking in Malaysia is higher than in Indonesia. Social performance of Islamic banking
in Indonesia in 2010 has increased significantly, about 10% of the earlier (2009). While social
performance in the Malaysian Islamic banking system is stable because it does not increase or
decrease. However, of all the Islamic banks, both Indonesian and Malaysia banking, none of
which reach very good performance levels.

In accordance with the purpose of this research, the method of measurement used is the
Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) Index which is obtained from each company every year. The
index value is obtained by using the method of content analysis. Content analysis is a method
of analysis that is often used to identify contents in the annual report (Othman and Thani, 2010).

ISR Index in this research consisted of 38 items that organized into 6 themes. ISR index
items are presented in Appendix 1. The first step is checklist on each item which reveals the
social activity on the financial statements of Islamic banks (Sofyani et al., 2012). The second
step, give a score for each item. If there is one item that disclosed it will get score "1" and if
not then it will get score "0". These values will be summed according to both individual and
overall theme. According to the total value of each theme will show what the main focus of
each company. Thus, the largest value is 38 and the smallest value is 0 for each company every
year.
The third step is to calculate the percentage of the social performance of each Islamic
Banks annually either by theme or as a whole. Then the percentages might be considered a
social performance levels suggested by Othman et al. (2009) (see Table 2).

Table 9 shows that in 2009, Bank Muamalat exists at the level of social performance
by 76% (high), Bank SyariahMandiri amount to 71% (high), Bank Syariah Mega Indonesia by
58% (moderate), Bank Syariah BRI by 55% (moderate ), and Bank SyariahBukopin by 53%
(moderate).
Based on Table 9 it can be seen that in 2010 the Bank Muamalat (76%), Bank
SyariahMandiri (76%), Bank BNI Syariah (71%) and Bank BCA Syariah (61%) with high
social performance, while Islamic Banks with moderate levels of social performance (41-60%)
are Bank Syariah Mega Indonesia (60%), BRI Syariah (55%), SyariahBukopin (53%), Victoria
Syariah (45%), and Bank JabarBantenSyariah (42%). Meanwhile, Islamic Banks with low
social performance (21-40%) are Bank PaninSyariah (40%). During the years 2009-2010, there
were 3 Islamic Banksconsistenlydo social performance with the previous year, such as Bank
Muamalat, BRI Syariah and BukopinSyariah. While two others; Bank SyariahMandiri and
Bank Syariah Mega Indonesia with social performance that increase in 2010.
Table 9 shows that in 2011, all of Islamic Banks have same percentage of social
performance in 2010 and MaybankSyariah as a new object in this year has social performance
by 40% (low). Based on the Table 9, it can be seen that all of Islamic banks have fixed
performance percentage during 2010-2011. It means that social responsibility activities
undertaken by banks wasorganizedconsistently. In addition, it is also an illustration that social
activity by Islamic Banks oriented for long-term (sustainability).
Overall, neither Islamic banks in Indonesia are carrying out social activities completely
(100%) based on the model of index ISR. This is consistent with the results of research
conducted by Sofyani et al. (2012) which states that there are 2 important factors why Islamic
Banks do not have a 100% social performance index based on ISR index. First, because Islamic
banks did not actually carry out social activities that they are able to implement such reporting
ghararactivities and clients who have problems with almost all Islamic banks and Islamic banks
in Indonesia, in this case, do not report it unless MaybankSyariah. Second, influenced by the
presence of measurement items of ISR index models that did not implement as bank's activities,
such as environmental audit and produce natural commodities (Green Product). The existence
of these items because ISR index not only for Islamic banking, but also for other companies

either trading company, services company, and manufacturing (Sofyani et al., 2012).
Conclusions
Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that the corporate social
responsibility of islamic bank in Indonesia by using islamic social reporting (ISR) index for
the year 2009-2011 on average was 58.9% (moderate).This research was conducted with only
one method of measuring the social performance by using ISR indexwhich is
developedbySofyani et al. (2012). This allows the latest indicators are being developed in a
comprehensive manner by subsequent studies. In addition, this study is only conducted to
observe the activities of Islamic banking, while the index of ISR is not only devoted to the
bank, but also for manufacturing, trade, and services company.
Then, the researchers suggest to Islamic Banking which have high social performance
in order to perform consistently over the long term social performance that can be a model for
other Islamic banks.Islamic Banking which have moderate, low, and very low (not reported)
social performance in order to improve their social performance as an accountability to Allah
and the community. And also Islamic banking is supposed to continuing improve their
performance in social aspects such material, moral, and spiritual aspect.
Further, we recommend to add the observation period to identify Islamic Banks that
carrying out long-term social performance, and identify manufacturing, trade and
servicescompany as the objects of observation of social performance by using ISR index.
