“…Other unusual indices for financial performance can be seen in Przychodzen and Przychodzen () who used earnings retention ratio and financial capacity as measurements for financial performance, Al Abri et al () who calculated capital intensity ratios in their study, and Rivera et al () who added shareholder and client loyalty as measures for financial performance.…”

“…Most of the studies analyzed developed their own measure for environmental performance. Environmental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were used (Ekatah et al, 2011), a company's emissions and effluents were quantified (Ganda & Milondzo, 2018;Pérez-Calderón et al, 2012;Rivera et al, 2017), the concentration and CO 2 , as well as its emissions, were measured (Fujii et al, 2012;Sariannidis et al, 2012), the environmental costs were explored (Pandey & Kumar, 2016), and undesired outputs quantified (Gatimbu et al, 2018).…”

The aim of this paper is to determine the existence of gaps in the literature, by investigating studies that statistically analyzed the relationship between sustainable development and economic performance. A literature review was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The study analyzed the authors, publication years, journals involved, methodologies used, and results obtained. The identified gaps and opportunities were (a) opportunity to create or employ different measurements for financial, social, and environmental performance and (b) to use different kinds of control or moderating variables, in order to further explore the relationship between sustainable development and financial performance.

“…Those theories are linked to the influence (positive, negative, or neutral) and the causality (direction) of the relationship. Like with value-destruction theory, the trade-off theory suggests a negative relationship when resources are channeled towards less profitable sustainable activities [10,16]. A positive relationship is explained in resource-based view (RBV) theory and Stakeholder theory.…”

The Impact of Sustainability Practices on Corporate Financial Performance: Literature Trends and Future Research Potential

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents an analysis of the literature concerning the impact of corporate sustainability on corporate financial performance. The relationship between corporate sustainable practices and financial performance has received growing attention in research, yet a consensus remains elusive. This paper identifies developing trends and the issues that hinder conclusive consensus on that relationship. We used content analysis to examine the literature and establish the current state of research. A total of 132 papers from top-tier journals are shortlisted. We find that 78% of publications report a positive relationship between corporate sustainability and financial performance. Variations in research methodology and measurement of variables lead to the divergent views on the relationship. Furthermore, literature is slowly replacing total sustainability with narrower corporate social responsibility (CSR), which is dominated by the social dimension of sustainability, while encompassing little to nothing of environmental and economic dimensions. Studies from developing countries remain scarce. More research is needed to facilitate convergence in the understanding of the relationship between corporate sustainable practices and financial performance.

An Assessment Tool to Integrate Sustainability Principles into the Global Supply Chain

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:The integration of sustainability principles into the assessment of companies along the supply chains is a growing research area. However, there is an absence of a generally accepted method to evaluate corporate sustainability performance (CSP), and the models and frameworks proposed by the literature present various important challenges to be addressed. A systematic literature review on the supply chain at the corporate level has been conducted, analyzing the main strengths and gaps in the sustainability assessment literature. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute to the development of this field by proposing an assessment framework a leading company can adopt to expand sustainability principles to the rest of the members of the supply chain. This proposal is based on best practices and integrates and shares efforts with key initiatives (for instance, the Organizational Environmental Footprint from the European Commission and United Nations Environment Programme and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry UNEP/SETAC); moreover, it overcomes important limitations of the current sustainability tools in a supply chain context consistent with the circular economy, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), planetary boundaries, and social foundation requirements. The results obtained create, on the one hand, new opportunities for academics; and, on the other hand, in further research, the use of this framework could be a means of actively engaging companies in their supply chains and of achieving the implementation of practical and comprehensive CSP assessment.
