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: Negli ultimi anni si è diffusa una crescente consapevolezza degli impatti, positivi e negativi, che l’attività aziendale può generare su ambiente e società. Questo ha portato a un progressivo ripensamento dei modelli tradizionali di produzione e consumo a favore di modelli con un minor impatto socio-ambientale. Si sta quindi assistendo a una trasformazione delle aziende che sono chiamate a ripensare la loro governance, strategia, modelli di business e processi in ottica di ottimizzazione congiunta degli aspetti economici, sociali e ambientali. Il presente volume offre una visione complessiva e organica sul tema della sostenibilità aziendale. In dettaglio, il volume intende fornire i fondamentali concetti, metodi e strumenti caratterizzanti la gestione sostenibile di un’azienda, facendo riferimento ai principali ambiti del management quali il marketing, la finanza, l’organizzazione, l’accounting, ecc. Inoltre, nel volume viene data evidenza della prospettiva e del ruolo dei vari stakeholder costituenti il c.d. “ecosistema” aziendale. In relazione agli obiettivi indicati, la trattazione si sviluppa in due parti idealmente complementari: nella prima parte si illustrano i concetti fondamentali della sostenibilità aziendale mentre nella seconda parte si approfondiscono aspetti legati ai processi, ai metodi e agli strumenti.
