Download or read book Corporate Sustainability written by Paolo Tenuta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the main types of corporate sustainability practices. The first section examines both the ratings provided by international agencies and the various ESG (Environmental, Social and Government) indexes existing at 2021. In turn, the second part empirically investigates the relationship between the level of corporate sustainability and corporate financial performance among the large companies listed on the Milan Exchange FTSE-MIB 40 index for 2015-2019. The book offers a comprehensive overview of current sustainability concepts and practices and illustrates how various companies are seeking to integrate them in their competitive strategy. Further, it fills a gap in the extant literature by analysing the origins, historical evolution and structure of the main rating agencies and ESG indexes. In addition, the empirical analysis of corporate sustainability’s impact on companies’ financial performance reveals the importance of collegial leadership – a commonly found feature of Italian family businesses that has not been considered in previous studies – as a moderating factor for reconciling sustainability initiatives and performance at family-run firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a valuable contribution to innovation management in the form of an interdisciplinary analysis of contemporary international approaches. By introducing the concept of a 'techno-corporate gap,' it also highlights the crucial role that companies play in creating and managing innovation in order to increase (or decrease) the technological gap between countries, and in their economic development. The originality of the book lies in its systems thinking oriented approach to the techno-corporate gap and technological gap, and their relation to corporate governance. These aspects are analyzed in detail, and not merely from an economic standpoint, but also with regard to innovativeness and regional social development.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilità e la Responsabilità Sociale d’Impresa (RSI) rappresentano un tema di profondo interesse da parte delle imprese e degli operatori economici, politici e sociali. Per le realtà aziendali, è ormai di tutta evidenza che un successo economico duraturo non può prescindere dall’ottenimento e dal mantenimento del consenso dei propri stakeholder. È necessario quindi contemperare i molteplici interessi dei soggetti coinvolti e interessati all’attività svolta, in una prospettiva che abbraccia le istanze di natura reddituale e quelle di natura etico-sociale e ambientale. Nella definizione delle strategie aziendali è fondamentale valutare le attese di diversa natura e i differenti livelli di partecipazione e coinvolgimento che qualificano il rapporto fra azienda e stakeholder, radicando profondamente l’assunzione di responsabilità sociale nella governance aziendale. Nondimeno, gli aspetti di comunicazione della RSI rivestono un ruolo fondamentale sia per quanto attiene all’adempimento dei doveri assunti dall’azienda nei confronti dei propri stakeholder, sia con riferimento alla legittimazione che da una trasparente e attendibile comunicazione può derivare. Alla luce di quanto osservato, il volume si propone di offrire una lettura dei principali elementi di analisi in ambito di responsabilità sociale, con particolare riferimento agli aspetti di governance e di comunicazione. Sono quindi trattati i concetti fondamentali in tema di sostenibilità, responsabilità sociale d’impresa ed etica d’impresa considerandoli in una prospettiva strategica di governance aziendale. Successivamente il lavoro si concentra sulla comunicazione aziendale, con particolare riferimento agli strumenti di accountability diretta e di gestione della RSI.Il libro è il frutto della riflessione e dell’esperienza maturata da un gruppo di docenti e ricercatori che da tempo si occupano di sostenibilità, etica e responsabilità sociale di impresa; ogni contributo nasce dall’elaborazione personale dei diversi Autori, sia pure collocandosi in un comune e condiviso quadro di riferimento.

Download or read book Economia etica e impresa socialmente responsabile written by Vincenzo Freda and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In un'epoca di grandi trasformazioni e di forte aumento della competizione a livello globale è possibile parlare ancora di responsabilità dell'impresa, al di là della ricerca del profitto? In un contesto sempre più difficile e infido, dove il problema per le imprese è quello di sopravvivere, l'agire economico può tener conto delle sue conseguenze, anche al di là del calcolo costi-benefici? A domande come queste si è provato a dare risposta tracciando un percorso dall'analisi delle opzioni interpretative del concetto di responsabilità sociale dell'impresa fino ai possibili sbocchi operativi dal punto di vista delle azioni imprenditoriali. Chiude la ricerca un breve profilo della concezione olivettiana della fabbrica che costituisce un'esperienza unica nel panorama del capitalismo nazionale e internazionale e un'anticipazione di quello che è oggi il tema dell'etica nell'economia e nel mercato del lavoro.

This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’evoluzione del contesto economico-sociale e le crescenti sollecitazioni espresse dagli stakeholder direttamente e indirettamente coinvolti nell’attività delle aziende fanno sì che esse debbano oggi tener conto delle conseguenze e dei complessivi impatti delle azioni e dei comportamenti adottati per poter assolvere alla loro funzione tipica di “creazione del valore”. Da tempo l’osservanza dei valori intrinseci propri della RSI non rappresenta per le aziende una scelta volontaria, ma un approccio da adottare per poter competere sul mercato. È cresciuta, ormai, la consapevolezza da parte degli organi di governo della grande influenza che i temi “sociali” rivestono e dell’impatto che essi esercitano sui comportamenti degli stakeholder, come testimoniato, peraltro, dalla diffusione di strumenti di social accountability volti a rendere pubblici gli sforzi e le strategie social responsible attuate. È opinione diffusa, infatti, che il dibattito sulla RSI non vada separato da quello concernente la gestione e il governo delle imprese, in quanto, spesso, l’irresponsabilità delle imprese fa capo alle strutture e ai processi di corporate governance. L’analisi, pertanto, ha riguardato in modo specifico, le implicazioni e i riflessi che la RSI ha sulla governance e sui processi di rendicontazione. Ai fini dell’indagine è stato utilizzato l’approccio metodologico tipico dell’economia aziendale. In tal senso, la revisione della letteratura nazionale e internazionale viene arricchita dalla costruzione e visualizzazione di reti bibliometriche.

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the tasks and functions of corporate governance in the light of current challenges and the dynamics that arise from a broader approach to company management and the integration of corporate governance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. Addressing the corporate governance shortcomings that are believed to have contributed to the recent financial crisis, it explores the interplay between corporate governance and CSR, and includes examples of company practice to show how such changes affect the practices of shareholders, boards of directors and regulators. In particular, the book examines shareholders’ activities, their different investment strategies, specific reporting expectations and the submission of proposals to the annual meeting. Further, for boards of directors it explores the need to revise their tasks with respect to the criteria for executive appointments, their corporate strategy, performance measures and diversity recommendations, while for directors it provides recommendations to reconsider the structure of executive pay and performance incentives. Lastly, for regulators the book investigates the need to introduce new laws addressing, for instance, the need for integrated reporting, limiting the voice of short term oriented shareholders and providing guidelines for executive compensation.

Download or read book People and Profits written by Joshua Daniel Margolis and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between the social performance of companies and their financial performance? More colloquially, can a firm effectively attend to both people and profits as it conducts its business? This question has been investigated in no fewer than 95 empirical studies published since 1972. The authors have assembled a compendium of this research to give researchers and practitioners alike a broad overview of these 95 studies and a systematic database detailing the content of each one. This book provides a comprehensive portrait of this research literature. It begins with a broad orientation to the literature, exploring why the link between social and financial performance has been subject to continual inquiry and often heated debate. The authors then present an integrated overview of the 95 studies. Through the charts and tables, the authors illuminate the nature of the studies conducted; the data samples selected for investigation; the ways in which financial and social performance have been measured; and the overall tally of results.
