Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increasing number of studies may be evaluated in the recent literature concerning Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility. Indeed, corporate responsibility is about a business trying to do well in the community through opportune responsible strategies. Sustainability can be seen as a part of corporate social responsibility, while corporate responsibility does not always consider sustainability. Corporate responsibility usually considers a firm’s commitment to practice environmental and social sustainability and to be good stewards to the environment and the social landscapes in which they decide to operate. For a full achievement of economic sustainability and growth the link between sustainability and corporate responsibility assumes a role very important for each economy in the world, but the relative empirical evidence is yet weak.
The aim of this Special Issue is to further investigate the link between sustainability actions source strategy and corporate responsibility focusing attention to the exploration of the phenomenon from a quantitative perspective. The analysis, based on the specific statistical methods and economic tools, could suggest the more adequate policy recommendations to stimulate economic growth in a more sustainable context.
Theoretical and empirical contributions from the economic or statistical perspective concerning the strategies relative to public policies to support economic growth through the sustainability tools and the evaluation of sustainable development performances are welcome in this Special Issue.
