Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The extent to which firms benefit or damage environmental and social welfare has been the target of increased research in the last decade. Many companies have begun to integrate corporate social and environmental issues into their business practices, such as disclosing corporate social responsibility (CSR) in their corporate annual reports to appear committed to certain goals for the sake of CSR-conscious stakeholders. However, there still exist competing hypotheses and findings, leading to a need for more ongoing research. In particular, the mere marketing of firms as CSR-actively does not mean that the firms are environmentally or socially responsible.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect contributions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Linkages between corporate social responsibility and corporate misconduct;
- Corporate risk-taking and green washing;
- Mechanisms mitigating corporate misconduct;
- Risks arising from Artificial Intelligence.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Hanxiong Zhang
Guest Editor
