“…To examine the resource acquisition path, we selected two mediating variables: operating cash flow (OCF) and financial constraints. To calculate operating cash flow (OCF), the approach from reference [82] was followed. The OCF is determined by taking the difference between cash inflows and cash outflows from operating activities and dividing it by the total assets of the company at the end of the period.…”

In recent years, more and more research has focused on the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on business activities. Due to the existence of two different theoretical perspectives, shareholder value theory and managerial opportunism theory, the research on CSR has reached different conclusions. Meanwhile, the motivations for environmental investments in enterprises have received attention from scholars. However, there is a lack of empirical research on the relationship between CSR and environmental investment. Therefore, this study conducts a regression analysis on the external evaluation of CSR and enterprises’ environmental investment using data from Chinese listed companies. The empirical results show a significant positive relationship between the external evaluation of CSR and enterprises’ environmental investment. The mediating tests conducted based on information transmission and resource acquisition mechanisms explain the reasons for this promotion effect, supporting the shareholder value theory. Furthermore, our research finds that this promotion effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises, enterprises receiving fewer environmental subsidies, enterprises disclosing environmental philosophies, and enterprises identified as key pollution-monitoring units in reports. The research findings of this study are meaningful for clarifying the economic consequences of CSR and provide practical evidence for Chinese enterprises to understand the importance of environmental investment and the government’s advocacy for enterprises to proactively engage in environmental investment.

How Disclosure Types of Sustainability Performance Impact Consumers’ Relationship Quality and Firm Reputation

2023

Given that firms attempt to gain competitive advantages from corporate sustainability schemes, we employed an experiment to examine different types of sustainable performance disclosure—output, outcome and impact—that best promote the quality of relationships with consumers, relationships with the firm around satisfaction and trust, and perceived reputation. Derived from a student sample of 254 respondents from a business school in Thailand, the findings indicate that, among different levels of sustainability performance disclosure, consumers are more likely to perceive the satisfaction, trust, and reputation of the firm as higher if the firm demonstrates the impact (rather than output or outcome) of sustainable performance. Results are consistent across observed product and service categories. Implications of findings and directions for future studies are also discussed.

In the era of the COVID-19 epidemic, where industry is doing its best to get through this very difficult moment, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is playing a critical role. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate if there is any association between company debt level and CSR performance measured by ESG score. To proclaim the importance of this strategy, the cartogram maps, Pearson’s correlation and Friedman’s two-way analysis of variance were used. It was proven, that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need of CSR initiatives. In this situation, CSR offers a mechanism to preserve investor confidence, employee loyalty, and customer trust.
