：This study is aimed to investigate the relationship between environmental performance, environmental innovation, and financial performance of firms. A total of 124 responses were collected from managers of manufacturers certified by ISO 14001 EMS in Malaysia, and the data was subjected to a structural equation analysis using the Smart PLS version 3.2.7 software. The results have endorsed environmental competitive capabilities i.e. environmental innovation and environmental performance as the key enablers for the creation of economic values for environmental proactive manufacturing firms. Moreover, environmental innovation is also found to be the mediator that transforms the benefits of environmental performance into financial performance.

“…Furthermore, a firm's ability to communicate their sustainability efforts to employees has a positive impact on profit development. When analyzing Japanese electronics companies, Cortez and Cudia () found that a firm's environmental costs positively impact employee income. At the same time, the authors highlighted a reciprocal causality, demonstrating that a firm's current revenues have a significant positive impact on the investment in environmental costs in the succeeding period.…”

This paper proposes a new theory called Humane Entrepreneurship (HumEnt) and identifies areas for future development of knowledge. The new theory integrates in the Entrepreneurial Strategic Posture (ESP) three different concepts: Entrepreneurial Orientation, Sustainable Orientation, and Humane Resource Orientation. From this perspective, HumEnt theory can be considered an extension of previous research but with a new model for consideration. The components of the HumEnt theory and their relationships are outlined in an initial panel of propositions. HumEnt theory can help address the challenges present in creating a more sustainable world. Finally, a research agenda and questions are presented for future consideration.

“…The studies were reviewed in line with the title, scope, methodology and results from whence the research gap is identified. The review of the empirical studies indicates that the results of most of these researches are either inconclusive or contradictory with some reporting positive relationships (see Amacha & Dastane, [54]; Dembo, [9]; Nnamani et al, [2]; Owolabi et al, [10]; Kwaghfan, [6]; Ekwueme et al [11]; Okoye and Ezejiofor, [12]; Albatayneh, [35]; Eccles et al, [45]; Ameer & Othman, [56], others show negative and or no significant impact of sustainability reporting on financial performance (see Ezejiofor et al, [14]; Nwobu, [15]; Karlsson,[18]; Brian, [66]; Kasum et al, [16]; Lourenco et al, [1]). The evidences from these previous studies show that the relationship between corporate sustainability and firm performance have been grounded on empirical and theoretical arguments ranging from those that opine that sustainability practice reduces organizational profits, and those that suggest that it could be deployed for competitive advantage.…”

This study examined corporate social sustainability reporting and financial performance of Oil and Gas Industry in Nigeria. Issues regarding corporate sustainability have gained global relevance in recent times owing to the increasing awareness that activities of most organizations may have adverse implicational effects on the ecosystems, societies, and environments of the future. Thus, companies are now being required to extend their strategic policies and information reportage to encompass sustainability reporting practices in order to meet the environmental and social needs of both current and future stakeholders. It is on this light that this study was set out to examine the effect of sustainability reporting on the financial performance of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria. This study assessed the effect of corporate social sustainability reporting on Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Return on Capital Employed of oil and gas companies listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Ten oil and gas companies were sampled for the study. The study utilized secondary data collected via financial ratios and accounts of the individual companies and content analysis. The findings showed that social sustainability reporting exerts negative effect on all three performance proxies, howbeit only its effect on return on equity was statistically significant. The study recommends, among others, that existing sustainability reporting standards should be aligned to reflect country-specific social and environmental challenges, while its implementation should rather be obligatory rather than voluntary.
