“…Lucato, Costa, and de Oliveira Neto () analyzed the environmental performance of companies in the Brazilian textile industry and tried to determine whether there was a relationship between environmental and financial performance. Although eco‐efficiency indicators were employed as a new set of variables, the authors could not find any relationship whatsoever.…”

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.

“…Firstly, while previous studies use a great variety of one-dimensional corporate environmental performance measures mainly focused on toxic substance emissions [13][14][15][16][17] for analyzing the effect of corporate environmental performance on corporate financial performance (see Appendix A), we apply a multidimensional construct of corporate environmental performance which provides a broader perspective of it, as in [18], whose work is focused on the tourism industry. Secondly, previous studies have examined the effect of corporate environmental performance on corporate financial performance for firms located in a single country or region such as United States [19,20], Germany [21], Italy [22], Australia [14], Czech Republic [23], UK [24], Japan [25,26], Egypt [27], Indonesia [28], Brazil [29] and European region [30], while our study includes firms located in several countries around the world as in [16][17][18]. Thirdly, we introduce in our model the effect of the level of economic development of the country where the firm develops its business activities on the relationship between corporate environmental performance (in the broader environmental sense) and corporate financial performance.…”

Abstract:The relationship between corporate environmental performance and corporate financial performance has been extensively studied in developed countries, and has received less attention in developing countries. For this reason, the main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of corporate environmental performance on corporate financial performance during a global financial crisis, depending on the economic development level of the country where a firm is located. To this end, we obtain data for a sample of 2982 large firms from 2008 to 2015. We apply Petersen's approach to these data, adjusting the standard errors for clustering by both firm and year. The results obtained show that the adoption of environmental practices significantly and positively affects the corporate financial performance in developed and developing countries. However, this effect is stronger for firms located in developing countries than those located in developed countries.

“…It is important to emphasize that in many cases the search for customization has resulted in effectiveness among companies. However, a number of managers neglect this point because of its higher cost, according to De Paoli et al (2013), De Oliveira Neto & Lucato (2016), Oliveira Neto et al (2017a and Lucato et al (2017).…”

Resumo: O processo de terceirização de serviços logísticos (TSL) é considerado incipiente na gestão das organizações, não só pelas suas questões operacionais como também pelas dificuldades de se criar elos com a estratégia da empresa. O presente estudo teórico, fundamentado na Teoria Baseada em Recursos, visa propor umAbstract: The process of Outsourcing Logistics Service (OLS) is deemed incipient in the management of organizations, not only because of the operational problems it presents, but also of its difficulties fitting into the company's overall strategy. The present theoretical study, building on the resource-based view of the firm, aims to propose a framework that guides managers in developing strategies to OLS starting from the operational structure to establish the necessary resources, capabilities, and routines. In addition, taken into account is the importance of analyzing risks and resilience in the environment, concomitantly with the analysis of the operational structure. Thus, four questions were developed, aimed at leading operations managers to reflect on the development of the strategy. The framework proposed for OLS considers the supply chain management department as the main interlocutor of the strategy. This framework can be adapted according with the necessity of the contracting company, and its main intention is to enable the establishment of a project that contemplates the necessary resources, the capabilities (criteria), and the operational routines (subcriteria) for the selection of a logistics service provider in the market, one which truly addresses the needs of the organization. This framework is already intrinsic in the practical actions of the authors, because of their extensive advisory activity over the last five years in OLS to logistics service provider. In addition, it is worth mentioning that so far in the tacit applications of this framework there has been no application similar to another.
