This study builds on the research gap that arises from the consistency analysis of the GRI-materiality approach with other prioritization approaches. The main objective is to explore to what extent corporate environmental performance is consistent using two different prioritization approaches. This study employs a novel quantitative approach to assess environmental performance through the prioritization of environmental aspects by using companies’ materiality analysis and independent expert knowledge. The empirical analysis focuses on the environmental performance analysis of wearing apparel companies. The main findings reveal that companies with better environmental performance could be using materiality analysis to further embellish the positive performance or for greenwashing purposes. This study could serve as a starting point to improve understanding of how companies could identify, from an objective and comparable basis, those environmental aspects that are essential to their business strategy and that are necessary to help stakeholders to make fully informed decisions.

In a global context, it is crucial to measure and report the corporate sustainability impacts taking into account what is happening along the whole supply chains. The objective of this study is to analyze whether environmental measurement and reporting practices, currently developed by companies under a global supply chain context, are aligned with global environmental challenges and the environmental hotspots at the sectoral level. To tackle this objective, this study has been focused on the textile sector, due to the relevance of its environmental impacts. A research was conducted based on the analysis of global environmental challenges: (1) at company level, on the measurement and reporting of specific environmental indicators connected with the impact categories of the European Organization Environmental Footprint; and (2) on the analysis of textile industry environmental hotspots, through the technical tool SimaPro that allows their quantification and identification along the life cycle phases using different scenarios. The results show a consistency between global environmental challenges and company environmental disclosure; however, a disconnection between the specific environmental indicators reported by textile companies and the main hotspots of the sector are observed. This implies that companies could be managing environmental issues related to global environmental concerns but ignoring those critical environmental issues truly relevant from a technical point of view, according to the nature of their activity. The paper argues that is not only necessary to consider the corporate awareness regarding global environmental challenges, but also to address the real environmental hotspots at the sectoral level. This paper represents a contribution in the discussion about what sustainability management implies along the supply chains, emphasizing the need to advance in a consistent and science-based integration of global environmental challenges, environmental hotspots at the sectoral level and environmental management practices at company level. The results obtained help global chain actors and other organizations to address this challenge.

In the last few years, considerable attention has been paid to microfinance as a relevant participant in the formal financial system, whose target audience is people who are otherwise at risk of financial exclusion. In parallel, sustainability and the promotion of Sustainable Development (SD) are imposed as the theoretical frame when facing any study. This, connected with cultural and organizational dimensions theories, are the analytical framework for the analysis of the relationship between the context of performance in which Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) operate and their activity in promoting sustainability. A holistic approach is necessary to make operational these concepts; for that reason, financial, environmental, social and governance dimensions (FESG), and the balance among them, have to be considered. The main objective of the paper is to explore to what extent MFIs are fostering SD, and how this promotion is performed by region. For the analysis, two different sources of information have been studied: sectoral academic literature that focuses on the different sustainability dimensions, and MIX Market sustainability data obtained from the MFIs. A keyword analysis of the selected papers has been executed to be conscious of the most investigated aspects by region; on the data provided by the institutions, a Kruskal-Wallis H test has been performed to learn what the main Sustainability Indicators (SIs) are that are reported affirmatively. To obtain comprehensive research, a comparative study of the results offers the convergences, divergences and gaps of information in each of the regions. The findings show significant differences depending on the region, and confirm that operationalization should be adjusted at the regional context of the MFIs. The paper, with the inherent limitations due to data quality, also offers recommendations for the better promotion of sustainability in each of the regions.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating agencies, acting as relevant financial market actors, should take a stand on working towards achieving a more sustainable development. In this context, the objective of this paper is, on the one hand, to understand how criteria used by ESG rating agencies in their assessment processes have evolved over the last ten years and, on the other hand, to analyze whether ESG rating agencies are contributing to fostering sustainable development by the inclusion of sustainability principles into their assessment processes and practices according to the ESG criteria. This research is based on a comparative descriptive analysis of the public information provided by the most representative ESG rating and information provider agencies in the financial market in two periods: 2008 and 2018. The findings show that ESG rating agencies have integrated new criteria into their assessment models to measure corporate performance more accurately and robustly in order to respond to new global challenges. However, a deep analysis of the criteria also shows that ESG rating agencies do not fully integrate sustainability principles into the corporate sustainability assessment process.

The development of sustainable finance favors the appearance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating agencies as providers of ESG information and tools for measuring the contribution of companies to sustainable development. This paper attempts to show whether assessment methods adopted by eight ESG agencies are consistent with the Integrative ESG Sustainable Value Framework proposed according to the literature and sustainable business models (SBMs) conceptualization. An exploratory research analyzes whether these methods are identifying and/or driving more SBMs that contribute to promote the creation of sustainable value, seeking to generate economic, social, and environmental value. Results indicate that ESG rating agencies identify the short‐term results in the internal organizational perspective mainly in the environmental dimension, whereas social aspects are emphasized from the external organizational perspective. However, ESG rating agencies are not driving a more SBMs that must integrate ESG criteria in a holistic way with a short‐term and long‐term perspective.

El artículo estudia la figura del intraemprendedor en el marco actual de ascenso de los discursos emprendedores en el trabajo. En estos discursos, el intraemprendedor surge como nuevo arquetipo del trabajador asalariado, caracterizado por la implicación y la capacidad de innovación, y se presenta como tipo ideal en el cual ha de proyectarse cualquier empleado. El intraemprendedor es un dispositivo de activación para los asalariados. Los objetivos del artículo consisten en explorar cómo se construye el intraemprendedor desde la literatura empresarial. Para cubrir este objetivo se analizan noticias de prensa, artículos en revistas mensuales de gestión y en revistas académicas del área de economía y empresa. Un segundo objetivo busca enclavar la figura del intraemprendedor en el contexto de cambios en la organización del trabajo durante el posfordismo. Se realizará para ello un análisis crítico de algunos de los principales autores que han abordado la cuestión desde la sociología económica.

En este artículo se analizan, desde una perspectiva humanística, los mensajes predominantes acerca de la competitividad en los ámbitos económico y deportivo. El propósito del trabajo es identificar, destacar y valorar aquellos discursos sobre la competitividad que pueden favorecer relaciones sociales más justas. Partiendo de una caracterización de la competitividad desde el neoliberalismo, generadora de desigualdad, se ofrece una alternativa para conseguir una competición más justa. Para ello, se aporta una perspectiva de la competición, desde el deporte, basada en el fair play que atiende a los principios de igualdad, participación y colaboración. Además, se introducen algunas contribuciones de John Rawls y de Richard Sennett. Del primero, el principio de la diferencia, a través del cual se busca que la competición no genere grandes desigualdades y, si las genera, que el sistema de competición tenga mecanismos para paliarlas. Del segundo, su preocupación por el equilibrio entre competencia y colaboración, recuperando el concepto de socialidad (sociality). El conjunto de estas aportaciones suponen una orientación más justa de la competición y pueden servir para destacar las potencialidades del deporte susceptibles de ser utilizadas (y reivindicadas) en los procesos de transformación ética y política de la sociedad.

The microfinance sector is considered an important contributor to the expansion of formal financial systems. It plays a significant role in sustainable development. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) as key actors in the microfinance sector require an organizational management framework that facilitates sustainable growth. The objective of this study is to define a balanced MFI sustainability approach that considers financial, environmental, social and governance dimensions as equally important. Through a clustering process, this research establishes the relationship between the various sustainability indicators provided by MixMarket, and it determines different MFI sustainability profiles. This research uses the Kruskal–Wallis method to characterize each group based on outreach, financial and risk indicators. The results show that there is no balance between the different sustainability areas, and lead to the conclusion that it is necessary to promote an integrative approach to foster sustainability management practices in the microfinance industry.

The integration of sustainability principles into the assessment of companies along the supply chains is a growing research area. However, there is an absence of a generally accepted method to evaluate corporate sustainability performance (CSP), and the models and frameworks proposed by the literature present various important challenges to be addressed. A systematic literature review on the supply chain at the corporate level has been conducted, analyzing the main strengths and gaps in the sustainability assessment literature. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute to the development of this field by proposing an assessment framework a leading company can adopt to expand sustainability principles to the rest of the members of the supply chain. This proposal is based on best practices and integrates and shares efforts with key initiatives (for instance, the Organizational Environmental Footprint from the European Commission and United Nations Environment Programme and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry UNEP/SETAC); moreover, it overcomes important limitations of the current sustainability tools in a supply chain context consistent with the circular economy, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), planetary boundaries, and social foundation requirements. The results obtained create, on the one hand, new opportunities for academics; and, on the other hand, in further research, the use of this framework could be a means of actively engaging companies in their supply chains and of achieving the implementation of practical and comprehensive CSP assessment.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of stakeholder engagement in the context of sustainability reporting (SR) for higher education institutions (HEIs), together with the materiality principle and stakeholder expectations. Design/methodology/approach This research uses an exploratory approach based on content analysis, a case study and descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings Three key findings come out of this research. First, the results indicate that HEIs use diverse criteria for grouping stakeholders and that stakeholder engagement is a heterogeneous process. Second, the expectations of internal stakeholders align with the material aspects of SR. Finally, among internal stakeholders, students and academics disagree on the prioritisation of some sustainability aspects, with non-academic staff adopting an intermediate position. Practical implications This analysis improves our knowledge of stakeholder engagement in HEIs. It helps to identify the relevant impacts of stakeholder engagement, enhances the quality of reporting and encourages a real dialogue with stakeholders. Originality/value The study examines stakeholder engagement and how the materiality principle is adopted by HEIs through SR. Furthermore, it compares these results with stakeholder expectations, considering the discrepancies between stakeholders. The results open the way to future research to explore the potential conflicts and collaborations between and within stakeholders to advance towards more sustainable institutions in the higher education sector.

The integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into the evaluation process of assets is a theme that is widely accepted among socially responsible investors. In this process, however, the integration of investors’ preferences has not been adequately developed. The challenge is to integrate the preferences of heterogeneous investors—not only conventional investors but also investors who are particularly sensitive to sustainability issues (socially responsible investors)—considering that socially responsible investors are not necessarily homogeneous. This paper attempts to address this challenge by developing a methodological approach based on an application of fuzzy multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) to integrate ESG investors’ preferences, as jointly considered. Because investors’ preferences may vary depending on which material aspects are considered within a sector, this study has been tested using clothing-sector data. Results confirm the usefulness of the methodological approach proposed for a proper generation of a ‘commercial solution’ that integrates the preferences of various investors and simultaneously is consistent with individually defined preferences

El presente artículo describe cuales han sido algunas de las claves teóricas y estrategias metodológicas del Trabajo Social que los diferentes grupos de Baladre han ido desarrollando a la largo de sus ya más de treinta años de historia. Se trata de poner en valor un conjunto de prácticas de Trabajo Social a través de las cuales -en oposición al Trabajo Social como saber poder del gobierno neoliberal sobre lo social-, se han intentado actualizar y recrear prácticas críticas, liberadoras y emancipadoras de Trabajo Social en contextos caracterizados por la precariedad, el empobrecimiento y la exclusión social. Este conjunto de prácticas se han ido configurando en el contexto social e histórico estrechamente marcado por la tendencia hacia la privatización progresiva de las condiciones básicas de la sociabilidad y existencia humana bajo la hegemonía política e ideológica del neoliberalismo. Para finalizar, se expondrá una breve sistematización del conjunto de reflexiones que han conducido a los diversos grupos, colectivos y personas que participan en Baladre a reivindicar el derecho social incondicional a la Renta Básica de las Iguales.

This study delves into the long-term relationship between social and financial performance of organizations. The aim of this study is to analyse the evolution of this relationship during the global financial crisis to ascertain both how companies have evolved in terms of CSR strategic consistency under financial uncertainty, and the relationship that this consistency may have with their financial performance. A specific methodological approach based on the fuzzy set theory has been applied to the measurement of social and environmental performance over a selected sample of Spanish listed companies, whose CSR strategic consistency had been analysed in previous studies that made use of data published in 2003. The results show a general improvement of CSR strategic consistency among organizations, in spite of a turbulent financial environment. On the other hand, the results show a positive relationship between CSR strategic consistency, and corporate economic and financial performance.

Since the early microcredit programs up to the present, microfinance has grown exponentially, as it has the academic interest on it as a research subject. Considering that this sector has impact in terms of sustainability, any research in the field requires an analysis with wide criteria, which should include the economic, environmental, social, and governance dimensions (EESG), as well as their interrelationships. The objectives of this survey are, to investigate the contributions of microfinance sectoral scholarly research to sustainability, through a systematic literature review using content analysis method, contextualizing the scientific production and studying its terminology according to the EESG criteria and under Global Reporting Initiative framework, and finally, to identify research gaps and to propose future research paths.The authors wish acknowledge the financial support received from P1•1B2013-31 and P1•1B2013-48 projects through the Universitat Jaume I, the predoctoral funding PREDOC/2015/04 included in the Universitat Jaume I Plan for the Promotion of Research, and the Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility Master Degree (UJI–UNED).

Resumen En los últimos treinta años se ha transitado desde una concepción del capital humano como una macromagnitud económica a una idea de capital humano corporeizada en el individuo. Hemos asistido a una progresiva infiltración de dicha ideología del capital humano también en la vida de la juventud precaria. Nos centramos aquí en los jóvenes universitarios, para quienes el capital humano, ya de forma hegemónica, dirige y marca sus recorridos laborales y vitales. El análisis de los discursos de estos jóvenes nos permitirá explorar desde la imposición de la lógica de la movilidad laboral, a la sujeción a las formas de "emprendedor de sí mismo" y a la normalización, como parte del proceso de incorporación de capital humano, de formas de empleo progresivamente al margen de los derechos y garantías laborales clásicas del trabajo salariado.

Achieving sustainable development will not be possible without the effective integration of education for sustainable development (ESD) at all educational levels. However, to include these aspects in the university context, it is necessary to provide professors with mechanisms, resources and tools that allow the transmission of social and environmental concerns of our society to the students, obtaining as a result informed and responsible professionals in their fields of specialization. In this context, the objective of this paper is to present successful learning experiences which introduce the concept of sustainability in the area of business studies, and promote a more responsible professional development of the university business students. Moreover, these experiences could help university educators in their ESD professional development. These innovative experiences have been applied in the Spanish University System. The findings of this research bring knowledge about the understanding of the sustainability concept in a high education context.
