“…First, studies about loyalty have moved to occupy a highlighted position as a research driver in this terrain, with a high volume of scientific production [9,14,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75]. Together with clients, employees have been added as another relevant stakeholder, and one for whom sustainable banking also has effects [76][77][78][79]. In the line of CSR performance, which is more central in this second period, one finds a large quantity of studies that border the relationship between surrender of corporate social responsibility and financial performance [6,[80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92].…”

The 2008 financial crisis placed banks in the gaze of public opinion. Financial entities did not delay in reacting, intensifying their efforts in what had become known as sustainable banking, with the goal of counteracting the negative effects of their loss of reputation. Neither has the academic community delayed their reaction, with the rapid growth of scientific production around this topic. However, no review of this literature through qualitative methods or bibliometry exists. The work presented in this paper fills one of those gaps, setting up a statistical description of the principal features of sustainable banking research and carrying out an analysis about its knowledge structure via co-word analysis. The results show a rapid evolution of the topics addressed, highlighting studies about the consequences of banks’ sustainability programs on their competitiveness. Future trends point to the search for more complex models, the incorporation of new stakeholders in the analysis and the consideration of different contexts.

“…Conversely, Cucari et al (2018) show that gender diversity on boards is negatively correlated with CSR disclosure, and Khan (2010) does not find any significant effect. However, the general opinion in the literature is that women demand higher levels of sustainability (Calabrese, Costa, & Rosati, 2016;Lämsä, Vehkaperä, Puttonen, & Pesonen, 2008;Rosati, Costa, Calabrese, & Pedersen, 2018) and are more prone to use moral reasoning and to behave ethically, especially in situations where behavior is not delineated by any clear organizational policy (Smith & Rogers, 2000). Therefore, we posit that H 3a .…”

Business can play a critical role in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Contextually, business reporting on the SDGs can support organizations in planning, implementing, measuring, and communicating their SDG efforts. This study investigates the relationship between early adoption of SDG reporting and a series of organizational factors by combining data from two databases-provided by the Global Reporting Initiative and Orbis-to identify the organizations that addressed the SDGs in their sustainability reports and their respective structural characteristics.The study, using a logit model based on data from 408 organizations worldwide, indicates that early adoption of SDG reporting is related to a larger size, a higher level of intangible assets, a higher commitment to sustainability frameworks and external assurance, a higher share of female directors, and a younger board of directors. The study contributes to the academic and practical understanding of factors related to the decision to engage early in new sustainability frameworks and practices.

“…Therefore, it is reasonable to consider that women are expected to exert an important influence on a company's CSR performance. Moreover, masculine culture has been found to have a negative impact on CSR practices (Kucharska & Kowalczyk, ), and male employees are more satisfied with CSR performance than their female counterparts (Rosati, Costa, Calabrese, & Pedersen, ).…”

Gender policies concerning the composition of board of directors are included in the legislation of many countries, especially promoted by the European Commission to reach gender equality in the processes of decision making. On the other hand, in the last decades, sustainable development problems caused by economic progress have enhanced the interest in environmental policies. Using the data from top Spanish listed companies, from 2003 to 2017, we test if the higher number of women on their board influences corporate social responsibility (CSR), through the disclosure of reports following the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines and the inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. By using probit models and instrumental variable estimation to address endogeneity and reverse causality problems, we find that the female presence in management positions is positively linked to a voluntary disclosure of CSR reports and the inclusion in a sustainability index, which supports gender legislation.
