  1. Deploying Environmental Management Across Functions: The Relationship Between Green Human Resource Management and Green Supply Chain Management.Annachiara Longoni, Davide Luzzini & Marco Guerci - 2018 - Journal of Business Ethics 151 (4):1081-1095.
    Balancing environmental, social, and economic performance is today considered a key responsibility that firms have toward society. As a result, academics, practitioners, and political decision makers are increasingly paying attention to environmental management systems improving a full spectrum of environmental performance. In that regard, even if recent literature suggests that environmental management should be deployed through a cross-functional approach, extant literature mostly focuses on independent functional systems. This paper addresses this gap investigating how the deployment of environmental management in the (...)

  • Are environmental social governance equity indices a better choice for investors? An Asian perspective.Ramiz Ur Rehman, Junrui Zhang, Jamshed Uppal, Charles Cullinan & Muhammad Akram Naseem - 2016 - Business Ethics: A European Review 25 (4):440-459.
    This article examines the risk and return profiles of stock indices composed of companies meeting environmental, social and governance screening criteria [such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices ] and conventional composite indices of eight Asian countries from 2002 to 2014. The results indicate that there are no significant differences in the returns or risk-adjusted returns between the ESG indices and the composite indices within countries. The results do reveal that the market volatility of the ESG indices is higher than (...)

  • Pro‐environmental Behavior in the Workplace: A Review of Empirical Studies and Directions for Future Research. [REVIEW]Yuhei Inoue & Priscila Alfaro-Barrantes - 2015 - Business and Society Review 120 (1):137-160.
    This article describes the current state of knowledge on pro‐environmental behavior in the workplace by analyzing 17 empirical studies that (1) examined individuals' pro‐environmental behavior at work and (2) performed some type of quantitative analysis to explore antecedents of this behavior. Detailed descriptions of these studies are provided in terms of (1) types of pro‐environmental behavior examined, (2) measures of pro‐environmental behavior, (3) internal factors investigated, (4) external factors investigated, (5) samples examined, and (6) theoretical frameworks used. This article further (...)

  • Bridging the gap: How sustainable development can help companies create shareholder value and improve financial performance.Justyna Przychodzen, Wojciech Przychodzen & Fernando Gómez-Bezares - 2016 - Business Ethics: A European Review 26 (1):1-17.
    This study examines the effect of integrating sustainability into corporate strategy on various aspects of shareholder value creation and financial performance in the British capital market. The employed method is based on the content analysis of corporate disclosures and a new technique for assessing the adoption of the corporate sustainability concept. Using extensive data of FTSE 350 firms covering the years 2006–2012, 65 companies were selected as meeting corporate sustainability criteria. For the above period, we find that these firms were (...)

  • Post hoc ergo propter hoc: methodological limits of performance-oriented studies in CSR.Marian Eabrasu - 2015 - Business Ethics: A European Review 24 (3):S11-S23.
    This paper enquires into the possibility of establishing a causal link between social performance (SP) and financial performance (FP) in corporate social responsibility (CSR). It shows that this endeavour is limited by several biasing factors (such as time horizons, sample choices and the tools chosen to measure SP and FP) and faces the logical fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this), which indicates that a sequence of events does not necessarily establish a causal link. The (...)

  • Revisiting the Corporate Social and Financial Performance Link: A Contingency Approach.Eleanor O'Higgins & Thibault Thevissen - 2017 - Business and Society Review 122 (3):327-358.
    This study draws on and extends contingency theory, in relation to stakeholder theory to understand the corporate social performance and financial performance link, by evaluating under what circumstances CSP influences CFP. Contingencies include stakeholder configurations/salience and crisis conditions. Using differentiated measures of CSP, this study examined financial effects of various specific stakeholder facing activities pre- and post-crisis in the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries, and in firms selling search versus experience goods. The results indicate that pre-crisis CSP is related to post-crisis (...)

  • Do Entrepreneurial SMEs Perform Better Because They are More Responsible?Jean-Marie Courrent, Sonia Chassé & Waleed Omri - 2018 - Journal of Business Ethics 153 (2):317-336.
    Many scholars have investigated the direct impact of entrepreneurial orientation on performance, but this direct association seems both spurious and ambiguous because many parameters may have an indirect influence on this relationship. The present study thus considers sustainable practices—environmental practices, social practices in the workplace, and social practices in the community —as three probable mediators in the relationship between EO and performance, which is considered in terms of its financial and non-financial dimensions. We seek to show to what extent small- (...)
