Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, corporate sustainability has been receiving increasing attention from businesses, policy makers, and academia. A growing number of companies are integrating into their business model a commitment to align financial KPIs (key performance indicators) with the target of lowering the negative impact of business processes. The holistic concept of sustainability encompasses the relationship between a growing awareness of environmental, social, and governance constraints and the accounting, financial, and management facets of corporate strategy.
Despite this topic having drawn the attention of researchers in recent decades, no general consensus has been reached on the relationship between financial performance and corporate sustainability. Heterogeneous results may be observed within various cultural and economic contexts or by considering the mediating effects of specific corporate characteristics.
The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to investigating the ways that organisations may reframe their business models in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals. Within this context, interdisciplinary research contributions focused on the relationship between financial performance and corporate sustainability, approaching various theories, short- or long-term horizons, specific individual or aggregated measures, or signalling mediators, such as digitalization, are highly encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Camelia Iuliana Lungu
