Purpose: Corporate partnership is critical to the successful SDGs implementation. This paper conceptually explores constructing corporate partnership with focus on the SDGs-CSR linkage. Originality: There have not been many conceptual and theoretical researches on corporate partnership. This paper examines how a company can contribute to the SDGs through its good CSR practices and tries to develop a conceptual model to show how an effective corporate partnership is enabled. By doing so, this paper would like to contribute to a theory-building with regard to it. Methodology: With a concept structure analysis, this paper links SDGs and CSR through TBL. From the perspectives of constructivism and rationalism, SDG as an international norm and CSR as a behavioral norm or motive are put into an operational framework. And the SDGs’ regulatory power and the firms’ motives for CSR are interlinked and analyzed to see whether the framework is workable for an effective corporate partnership. Result: Using strategic CSR, corporations can create shared value and secure sustainability by integrating SDGs into value chain. With political CSR, they can make contributions to SDGs and establish a corporate citizenship. However, in the long run, an effective corporate partnership requires SDGs’ regulatory power to change corporate values and behaviors. Conclusion and Implication: For an effective corporate partnership, SDGs could enforce implementing CSRs in accordance with it. This entails supports from the great powers, resonance with international community and cooperation with global civil society.
