Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has always played an important role in promoting social welfare and achieving positive social impacts, and the implementation of corporate environmental responsibility (CER) reflects the attitude and method of corporate environmental governance. In recent years, with increasingly prominent environmental problems such as the continuous deterioration of water quality, the increasingly serious soil pollution and the decline in air quality, it is particularly urgent to implement the United Nations 2030 sustainable development goals, which not only have a significant impact on the global sustainable development at the macro level but also constitute a new situation of corporate environmental governance at the micro level. In the current development stage, CSR, especially CER, is endowed with new connotations and significance of the times, which is not only related to the strategy and behavior of the corporate itself but also crucial to the sustainable development of the whole country and society. Based on the above situations, this Special Issue calls for in-depth exploration of issues related to CSR and environmental resource management, aiming to create a series of rigorous research papers to explore and examine what conditions and mechanisms can promote the role of CSR in green and sustainable development. We invite articles that address the important issues of environmental governance and sustainable development in different industries, regions, and countries around the world. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:
- The dynamic interaction between CSR and environmental management activities in different development stages of corporations;
- The impact of environmental regulation policy on environmental responsibility and environmental performance;
- Environmental resource governance and sustainable development of corporations or regions;
- Implementation of CER under the background of digital transformation;
- ESG performance and corporate sustainable development;
- Corporate environmental governance under the vision of carbon peaking and neutrality goals.
