Several definitions of sustainable business models (SBMs) have been proposed in the economic literature.…”

The primary purpose of this research is using theoretical and empirical methods to provide better understanding of the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholders. The findings illustrate three main aspects. Firstly, both primary and secondary stakeholders affect differently on CSR practices Besides, internal CSR practices are more accounting based but External CSR practices aim to take more market share. Secondly, the effects of CSR activities require to investigate how different stakeholders react to such initiatives. For example, customers and the general public was not influenced by stand-alone CSR information. The intangible aspects of CSR actions needed to be treated separately. Thirdly, CSR in a specific environment background (ie. at different level in the corporate) can guide and influence the stakeholders and the corporate differently. This research examines both the CSR and stakeholders, considering a battery of indicators, to furnish a more in-depth understanding of CSR practices and stakeholders.

“…These distinct EU realities condition the stakeholders' awareness and the respective compliance with the designated strategies, showing, for example, the importance of the stakeholders (Marques, et al 2019) and their involvement in several stages of the food chain (Giacomarra et al 2019). These dimensions have a special relevance in some agricultural sectors, as with milk production, and in some countries which have adhered to the EU more recently in a post-communist context (Bachev and Nanseki 2008), such as, for instance, the Central European framework (Erjavec et al 1998).…”

The milk sector across the European Union (EU) has experienced several changes, due to the intrinsic characteristics of its respective structures of production. In fact, due to significant increases in production, this sector has suffered dramatic surplus supplies, which have had a relevant impact, namely on the market’s management. In this framework, the EU created the milk quota system in the 1980s to control the milk markets and prepare the sector for the subsequent reforms verified by the agricultural policy instruments. However, this system was a temporary measure from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and was removed in 2015, having new and relevant impacts on the sector around Europe and, specifically, in Portugal. In this context, the main objective of this research was to assess the several impacts from the several reforms of the CAP instruments for the milk sector within the Portuguese context. For this, a literature survey from the Web of Science (Core Collection) was carried out searching for the topics “milk” and “Common Agricultural Policy.” From this search, 57 documents (only articles were considered, excluding, for example, proceedings papers) were obtained. To complement this literature review, several data from the Eurostat and from the Portuguese agricultural market information system were considered and explored through econometric approaches. The main insights obtained show that the milk sector is a controversial topic, which continues to need special policy attention, namely to avoid asymmetries across the several EU member-states.
