Organisations (civil society, companies, and public-sector organisations (PSOs)) have been instrumental in driving sustainability. In the last five years, there has been an increasing interest in organisational sustainability, where the importance of sustainability's dimensions depends on an organisation's nature and purpose. A large body of literature on organisational sustainability has focused on companies, followed by education institutions, in particular higher education. Limited, yet increasing, attention has been directed to PSOs and other civil society organisations. Although there have been some attempts to define a sustainable organisation, there is still a need to define and establish the principles of how organisations can address and contribute to sustainability. The sustainability efforts in the different types of organisations were reviewed and then analysed in this paper by using hermeneutics. This was complemented with a survey on sustainability changes. The survey was sent to a database of 1574 contacts from different organisations. In addition, 106 anonymous links were sent out. From the total list of emails, 118 full responses were obtained, with 39 from civil society (37 from higher education and 2 NGOs), 66 corporations, and 13 PSOs. This research distils the key system elements of the efforts in each of the organisations in order to synthesise and propose a definition and a conceptual framework of organisational sustainability. These can help organisations understand where their efforts are and how they could better embed sustainability into their systems, thus contributing to the well-being of societies and the environment for this generation and future ones.

“…However, we hold that the ECG model goes beyond the stakeholders' management as the business last purpose is its contribution to the common good [31]. Being this contribution measured as its contribution to human dignity, solidarity, social justice, environmental sustainability and transparency and co-determination in relation to the business stakeholders.…”

The Common Good Balance Sheet, an Adequate Tool to Capture Non-Financials?

In relation to organizational performance measurement, there is a growing concern about the creation of value for people, society and the environment. The traditional corporate reporting does not adequately satisfy the information needs of stakeholders for assessing an organization’s past and future potential performance. Practitioners and scholars have developed new non-financial reporting frameworks from a social and environmental perspective, giving birth to the field of Integrated Reporting (IR). The Economy for the Common Good (ECG) model and its tools to facilitate sustainability management and reporting can provide a framework to do it. The present study depicts the theoretical foundations from the business administration field research on which the ECG model relies. Moreover, this paper is the first one that empirically validates such measurement scales by applying of Exploratory Factor Analysis on a sample of 206 European firms. Results show that two out of five dimensions are appropriately defined, along with some guidelines to refine the model. Consequently, it allows knowledge to advance as it assesses the measurement scales’ statistical validity and reliability. However, as this is the first quantitative-driven research on the ECG model, the authors’ future research will confirm the present results by means of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).

“…El término bien común hace referencia a todo bien que está destinado para más de una persona, o al bien que es común a todos. Argandoña (1998) mantiene la idea de que el bien común implica intercambio y reciprocidad, es decir, no solamente la suma de intereses personales, sino también el hecho de compartir entre los miembros y la sociedad (incluso pequeñas asociaciones de individuos) los recursos que resultan de su cooperación. Se aporta y se recibe (aunque probablemente no en la misma medida en que se contribuye).…”

“…Se aporta y se recibe (aunque probablemente no en la misma medida en que se contribuye). El bien común no es un bien que los individuos hacen a la colectividad o para otras personas, puesto que ellos mismos tienen una participación en ella; se trata de un bien dado y recibido por cada persona (Argandoña, 1998).…”

ResumenEste artículo discute diversos enfoques sobre los bienes asociativos con el fin de establecer una posición respecto a si los bienes generados mediante la participación e incidencia de los ciudadanos en la vida pública pueden ser identificados como bienes comunes. La argumentación se construye considerando a las asociaciones como espacios institucionales de libre participación que integran un tipo particular de normas y relaciones para el uso de los recursos y los bienes que aquellas generan. El análisis identifica recursos y resultados en la dinámica asociativa, que pueden ser caracterizados como bienes comunes en dos ámbitos: los que son resultado de la pertenencia a los grupos asociativos, y los que generan las asociaciones como resultado de su actuar en la sociedad. AbstractThis paper examines and discusses some propositions for the conceptualization of associative goods. The purpose is to explore if those goods generated by the participation of citizens can be conceptualized as commons. The argument is supported on the assumption that associations are spaces of free participation built upon a particular kind of rules and relations for the use and distribution of the resources and assets shared. Following this line, the paper identifies the actives that could be characterized as commons in two spheres: those that are shared and generated as result of the integration of members to associative groups, and those generated by associations as result of their actions.
