“…According to Bansal and Clelland [78], Sealy et al [79], and Polosky and Zeffane [80], environmentally sensitive industries consist of companies that could gravely damage the environment during the production process. The companies in these industries are classified by the World Commission on Environment and Development [81] as oil, gas, chemicals, utilities, paper and pulp, and electric utilities companies.…”

An Integrated Model to Explain How Corporate Social Responsibility Affects Corporate Financial Performance

Abstract:The effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on financial performance has important implications for enterprises, communities, and countries, and the significance of this issue cannot be ignored. Therefore, this paper proposes an integrated model to explain the influence of CSR on financial performance with intellectual capital as a mediator and industry type as a moderator. Empirical results indicate that intellectual capital mediates the relationship between CSR and financial performance, and industry type moderates the direct influence of CSR on financial performance. Such results have critical implications for both academia and practice.

“…The initial design of the questionnaire was influenced by two sources: a comprehensive literature survey, the key findings of which inform the hypothesis developed; and an ongoing longitudinal study of the environmental activities of Australia's top 1000 organizations conducted by Coopers and Lybrand (Polonsky et al, 1992), from which a number of common concerns were highlighted.…”

Extending linear approaches to mapping corporate environmental behaviour

Drawing upon the findings of an ongoing empirical study of UK corporate environmental attitude and policies, the paper seeks to extend the debate as to how company strategic environmental policy making can be plotted and described. It is argued that the positioning of companies is determined by the interaction of a set of key external and internal influences and constraints, the relationship between which often produces strategic policy positions which appear not to conform to the behavioural archetypes established by linear sequential models. This suggests that such models may not allow the full impact of the reality of business necessity to be recognized. This is seen to be increasingly true for companies operating globally, who are faced with differing environmental requirements and regulations, and who have as yet not developed global environmental performance standards. Although acknowledging existing linear work, the case is put for the recognition of further archetypes, that can distinguish behavioural characteristics and which are identified as being beyond the confines of the linear approach. The hypotheses established are exploratory in nature and are the subject of ongoing confirmatory research. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
