“…There are numerous rating agencies and other sources that provide independent social performance evaluations (e.g., MSCI ESG STATS, Innovest, Vigeo, Ethical Investment Research Information Service (EIRIS), and Canadian Social Investment Database (CSID)). Many researchers used measurers constructed by the above entities in their analyses of relations between various aspects of corporate social and financial performance [28,[110][111][112].…”

“…As the result, any possible generalization is problematic. The main specific weaknesses mentioned by some authors are the following [110,111,113,114]: KLD completely excludes companies with poor environmental records; Innovest combines more than 120 and EIRIS over 300 performance indicators which makes them highly complicated and difficult to implement and understand; Vigeo's rating system is not fully credible on the criteria of objectivity and transparency; and CSID focuses solely on the Canadian stock exchange, which significantly limits its geographic scope.…”

This study examines the impact of corporate sustainability (CS) on stock market returns for FTSE 350 companies over the period 2006-2012. We find that an investment strategy that bought shares in companies with balanced financial, social, and environmental activities would have earned an annual four-factor alpha for a value-weighted portfolio of 3.54% per year during the sample period and 2.98% above industry benchmarks. In addition, we find that CS is negatively correlated with stock return volatility, and investing in companies with CS not only generates higher returns during peak phases, but also diminishes shareholders' losses during bear phases. We have also carried out an additional, out-of-the-sample analysis for the years 2013-2015 which confirmed our results.

“…In ECs with collectivistic, national cultures, where societies partnering is a societal expectation and norm (cf. Ho et al, 2012), such stakeholder engagement becomes even more of a critical enabler in ensuring legitimate, credible Embedded CSR.…”

“…In the case of a global organisation, differentiated Embedded CSR initiatives will have to be crafted across the respective ECs making up the organisation's operating arena, in order to give an organisation's Embedded CSR local legitimacy and traction, reinforcing the organisation's position as a genuine and trusted local societal transformation partner (cf. Ho et al, 2012;Rajak, 2011).…”

Every organisation ("the fish") is embedded in a certain setting ("the water"). These metaphors imply a highly reciprocal, interdependent relationship between the organisation and its setting. The purpose of my article is to explore the utility of the conceptual distinction drawn by Aguinis and Glavas (2013) between Embedded and Peripheral Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as applied from an emerging countries (ECs) perspective. Firstly, I elucidate unique EC organisational/ people features. Secondly, I highlight the implications of these features for CSR. Finally, I address "contextually fit" CSR, arguing that Embedded CSR is the sole imperative for organisations in ECs, but as an active, societal transformation partner. IntroductionEvery organisation -the metaphorical "fish" -is embedded in a certain setting, its strategically chosen operating arena -the metaphorical "water" (cf. also Stone et al., 2013). The metaphors of "fish" and "water" imply a highly reciprocal, interdependent relationship between the organisation and its operating arena. This is even more so in emerging countries (ECs), for reasons that will be discussed below. It can be posited that the embeddedness of the organisation in its context is not and cannot be under contention: separated from life-giving "water", no organisation is viable or sustainable. Inversely, organisations, as the "fish", enhance or destroy the quality of the "water", which, in turn, affects them, constructively or destructively. The water not only must enable them to survive, but, more importantly, enable them to thrive in a sustainable way. The power of the fish truly is in the water.

“…Dėl sparčios technologijų kaitos, didesnio kapitalo mobilumo, regioninės specializacijos, regionai tampa ekonominio ir socialinio gyvenimo pagrindu (Agnew, 2000;Ho et al, 2011;Affuso et al, 2011;Tuominen et al, 2006;Jussila et al, 2007;Fratesi, 2012). Todėl įmonės, tuose regionuose vykdančios veiklą, turi įtraukti į savo strategijas nacionaliniu ir regioniniu pagrindu susiformavusias vertybes bei socialinius poreikius.…”

Klaipėdos universitetas (Lietuva) ANOTACIJARegionams tampant ekonominio ir socialinio gyvenimo pagrindu, įmonės į savo veiklos strategijas turi įtraukti nacionaliniu ir regioniniu pagrindu susiformavusias vertybes bei socialinius poreikius.
