“…Meanwhile, the average CSR index rating positively affects organizations' financial performance (Kang et al, 2015), as do social responsibility investments (Lu et al, 2019). Despite these statements, forgetting sustainable business principles in the shadows of economic and financial priorities remains one of the main challenges to CSR (Deus et al, 2019) (Skouloudis et al, 2011). ISO 14001 recognizes the need to communicate with stakeholders, particularly concerning compliance obligations (ISO, 2021(ISO, , 2022.…”

“…Each company should strive to develop its own path toward sustainability. This should be based on general knowledge and the experience of other companies and should address ways to combat current environmental and societal issues (Deus et al, 2019). In addition to ISO 26000, another standard—ISO 50001—meant for energy management assists all types of organizations in assessing their impact on conserving nonrenewable resources, specifically energy.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become crucial to businesses seeking to adopt sustainable development. However, there are several challenges to CSR adoption for sustainability that the present research aims to identify and evaluate, in addition to assessing the EU's response to these challenges. To this end, a novel picture fuzzy SWARA‐TOPSIS method is proposed to rank EU countries after identifying the challenges that they face through a literature review. The results indicate that out of eight identified challenges, “Leadership Mindset and Corporate Commitment” is the most significant issue to CSR adoption for sustainability. Additionally, Italy shows the best performance in adopting CSR for sustainability, while Malta shows the worst. These results are discussed, and policy implications are presented.

This paper aims to explore the motivations and challenges of engaging host communities in CSR practices within the context of Newmont Ahafo Mines (NAM), a subsidiary of a Multinational Mining Enterprise (MNE) operating in Ghana’s mining sector. This paper draws insights from stakeholder theory and interviews conducted with internal stakeholders (management and employees) and stakeholders in host communities (traditional rulers and community members). The findings indicate that effective decision-making, gaining legitimacy, cost savings, management of risks, and accountability are some of the perceived motivations of NAM’s stakeholder engagement in CSR. Nonetheless, the most critical challenges to NAM in improving stakeholder engagement in CSR practices are the lack of community members’ support in CSR projects, communities’ high expectations of NAM on development projects and over-dependency on NAM on the part of host communities. Therefore, it is reasonable for MNEs in emerging economies to attune engagement practices to the host community’s context. This will enable CSR practices and policies to fully exploit the latent benefits of CSR in the mining sector.

“…These costs may include purchasing new equipment that is less harmful to the environment, changing management structures, or establishing stricter quality controls. The benefits of adopting the principles of social responsibility for organizations are: brand promotion and credit enhancement, the possibility of attracting more capital resources due to high business reputation, reducing the risk of accidents and tragic events, improving the working environment and thus improving productivity and increasing the ability to recruit and retain staff, leading to reduced mobility, absenteeism and training costs [22][23][24][25]. Most experts believe that social responsibility costs are short-term, and its benefits are often long-term [26].…”

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since there is a lack of a strong CSR platform in the Iranian corporate environment, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries, the proposed and existing strategies can be utilized to empower employees and the general public, improve executive processes, improve quality and customer satisfaction, and finally, organize financial and accounting reports. Hence, this study seeks to determine and evaluate strategies to improve the concepts and domain of corporate social responsibility (CSR) of food and pharmaceutical industries in Iran based on the requirements of sustainable development theory. This study analyzes the data of 22 companies active in the food and pharmaceutical industries listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over a period of six years (2014–2019). Eighty-three indicators were used to evaluate the performance of social responsibility based on economic, social and environmental dimensions. The Pareto approach has been used to determine the most important unmet current requirements. Then, using the Delphi method and content validity, appropriate strategies were determined. Finally, a correlation matrix was used to determine the most important and comprehensive strategies. Findings showed that 14 requirements in the field of corporate social responsibility are of great importance and with six strategies, the necessary measures to meet those requirements can be covered.
