Green human resource management (GHRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have recently gained more attention in the business world. This study aims to investigate the role of corporate support for employee volunteering (CSEV) in strengthening the impact of GHRM on adopting CSR practices of the best 30 firms registered in EGX100 at the Egyptian stock exchange and engaged with CSR activities. Therefore, a conceptual framework was proposed to list theoretical concepts of GHRM, CSEV and CSR to form hypotheses. Data were collected from 326 respondents occupying the highest managerial positions in the studied firms. Using a structural equation model (SEM), the results indicate that both GHRM and CSEV influence positively on adopting CSR activities. Furthermore, CSEV plays a positive moderating role in strengthening the impact of GHRM on adopting CSR in the studied firms. These findings and their managerial implications were discussed in theory and practice.

“…Over the past decade, due to continuous scandals involving agro-food products, consumer confidence in the food industry has declined, and to rebuild consumer confidence, more and more agro-food processing companies have implemented CSR in their production processes [47]. At the same time, consumers' emphasis on health and the increased demand for CSR have led the food industry to implement more measures under the framework of CSR [48]. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the quality, completeness, safety, diversity, and sustainability of food.…”

This study seeks the best economic returns of a company’s sustainable business process, employs the Triple Bottom Line Model using the Global 100 Index as the decision variable, and follows the Geometric Brownian Motion, so as to determine the optimal timing for the input of environmental and social costs. The results of the sensitivity analysis show that when the average growth rate of the Global 100 Index is low, the optimal timing for the company’s input of environmental costs and social costs can be obtained. Analysis of the numerical example shows that, based on the financial value of the economic factor, companies should invest in environmental costs as soon as possible. This study replaces the conventional net present value model with the options evaluation model, uses the Global 100 Index as the threshold for decision-making evaluation to provide a more complete decision-making evaluation reference for enterprises, and makes up for the gap in recent research regarding investment time and decision variables. The study results introduce potential strategic value evaluations into the evaluation model of long-term uncertain sustainable operation value, which is more appropriate for the evaluation of the real sustainable operation value. It also provides implementation strategies for decision-makers to mitigate risks under uncertain environments and is the major difference and value of the Real Options Approach (ROA) to supplement Net Present Value (NPV) principles. The results of this study provide a reference for the sustainable development decision-making of corporate sustainability and feasibility and offer an important link in the value chain of food industry operations and management.

“…As far as food and beverage companies and CSR are concerned, Wei et al (2018) supported that consumers have an increased desire to select healthy foods and buy goods from companies that incorporate socially responsible initiatives in their business operations. In addition, Hartmann (2011) supported that the concept of CSR is of high relevance with this sector since it depends on natural, human and physical resources and the value chain of food sectors has specific characteristics as it is affected by different aspects such as the environmental and societal ones.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the main Corporate Governance (CG) characteristics on the corporate environmental performance. In addition, it focuses on global food companies as this sector is distinguished by specific characteristics. The sample of the study employs 174 food companies from the Thomson Reuters Global Food & Beverages Price Return Index for 2017. The Environmental Score as calculated by Thomson Reuters is adopted in the proposed model as a proxy of corporate Environmental Performance (EP). A regression analysis is developed in order to investigate the Board Size, the Board Independence and the Board gender composition of Board of Directors (BoD) on EP. The results revealed that the size of the BoD and the presence of women directors on Board have a positive effect on environmental performance. The study assists corporate managers to implement the appropriate Board characteristics in order to enhance their EP and socially responsible investors to identify companies with higher level of EP. This study extends the scope of previous studies by investigating the food and beverage sector and understanding of CG characteristics on EP taking into account innovating index as a proxy of EP.
