“…In addition to internal forces, external factors can result in irresponsible incidents and behaviours. External pressures, for example, pressure from headquarters to subsidiaries in developing countries (Surroca et al , 2013), financial stress due to financial loss and negative cash flow over the long term (Zheng and Chun, 2017), market cost pressure (Wu, 2014) or a higher-order backlog (Sun et al , 2019), positively correlate with CSI. Accordingly, preliminary research suggests that people can consider such external pressures and, consequently, the difficulties a firm faces as a potential reason for its misbehaviour.…”

Purpose This study aims to outline the role of causal attributions in consumer responses to irresponsible corporate behaviour. Specifically, this paper presents a moderated mediation model that explains how four types of perceived motives behind an irresponsible action shape corporate blame and word-of-mouth recommendations. Design/methodology/approach To test the hypotheses, the study uses data from a large survey assessing consumer reactions to a real case of corporate socially irresponsible behaviour in the banking industry. Findings The findings show that market-, unethicality- and rogue employee-driven attributions increase corporate blame and subsequently make people more likely to spread negative comments regarding the culprit. The difficult situation of a bank, as a perceived reason for wrongdoing, does not reduce the blame attributed to the irresponsible organisation. Originality/value The literature offers little information on the attributions people make following egregious corporate behaviour; however, such cognitions can play an important role in stakeholders’ reactions to wrongdoing. This study therefore extends the understanding of how irresponsibility attributions affect consumers’ responses to misbehaviour. Given the empirical context, the findings might be particularly important for communication and bank managers.

“…CSR requires that organisations voluntarily consider social and environmental aspects in their activities (Hadj, 2020). Additionally, CSR requires organisations to accomplish ethical and legal requirements (Sun et al, 2019). For Smiechowski and Lament (2017), CSR is especially relevant for organisations communicating with their stakeholders and reporting actions to meet their demands.…”

“…Focusing on the food sector, Partalidou et al (2020) verified a positive impact of the implementation of CSR and quality management techniques on organisations financial performance. Sun et al (2019) analysed how sales order backlogs can impact CSR. Based on a panel sample with data from 1996 to 2016, the authors found that big sales order backlogs are directly related to lower CSR performance, confirming the need for economic resources for companies to present higher levels of CSR.…”

PurposeConsidering the high impacts caused by manufacturers on sustainability, this research aims to analyse how Brazilian manufacturing companies deal with sustainability issues. To do this, sustainability parameters are analysed to verify possible improvement opportunities.Design/methodology/approachThis research uses Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to analyse data from a survey with Brazilian professionals regarding aspects of sustainability in Brazilian manufacturers. The average score levels and the ranking of these aspects are evaluated.FindingsThrough the analysis performed, it was possible to verify that manufacturers in Brazil still have a long path to travel in the search for sustainability. Comparatively, it was observed that practices related to local communities received the lowest scores, on average. In contrast, on average, practices related to productivity and efficiency, occupational accidents and diseases, and compliance with environmental legislation received the highest scores.Practical implicationsThe results presented in this paper show that there are several improvement opportunities to be sought by Brazilian manufacturing companies regarding sustainability aspects. Particular attention should be given to local community practices. Besides companies, policymakers can also use this analysis to guide their future actions, encouraging manufacturing companies to better support the local community. Researchers can use the instrument of analysis (TOPSIS and GRA) to analyse other realities and compare them with the findings presented.Originality/valueThe analysis of Brazilian manufacturing companies’ reality regarding sustainability practices and considering a model based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC) is novel in the literature. The use of TOPSIS and GRA, as well as comparing their findings, generated interesting insights for companies, policymakers and researchers. The analysis presented shows the need for more significant concern for local communities and can be used to support further debates and action plans to minimise this gap.
