“…More in detail, we used available public data released by the company, such corporate documents, the official website, and interviews of the founders and managers. Moreover, we searched for third parties information and opinions about the ventures: interviews with experts not linked to the organization, articles published in the press, comments and posts of people (investors, analysts, …) taken from financial blogs and forums (Dal Mas, 2019; Massaro et al, 2018; Massaro, Dumay, & Bagnoli, 2017; Sciarelli, Tani, Landi, & Turriziani, 2020).…”

The purpose of this article is to shed light on how the blockchain technology can lead to the creation of new sustainable business models (SBMs). The literature highlights the need to merge the sustainability perspective into business models, creating new SBMs. Using a case study methodology, the paper investigates how the blockchain can foster the creation of SBMs, thus exploring the following Research Question (RQ): How can blockchain facilitate the development of new SBM? The case represents an example of an SBM merging more theoretical definitions. The unique features of the blockchain foster inclusivity even in traditional sectors, allowing widespread distribution of the benefits for the community with a long‐term orientation. Consequently, our study provides systematized evidence of how the blockchain can foster financial and social sustainability. This manuscript adds to the state‐of‐the‐art literature on the application of emerging technologies to organizational sustainability by shedding light on real business case evidence.

“…Second, the research was conducted with a sample of students from the same branch of studies and in a single Spanish university. In this sense, and although this group was considered suitable for the purposes of the research due to the verified greater environmental awareness and predisposition to sustainable consumption of the young generations [29,[82][83][84], it is no less true that the generalization of the obtained results is compromised. Therefore, new studies are required to test the research model in other consumer samples with greater sociodemographic diversity.…”

“…Using a sample of students was considered appropriate, as younger generations tend to show good environmental awareness and a predisposition to sustainable consumption [29,[82][83][84]. Additionally, using students from the same branch of studies ensured that all of them had similar prior knowledge about third-party certified eco-labeling.…”

Despite the growing awareness of the need to promote the consumption of organic food, consumers have difficulties in correctly identifying it in the market, making frequent cognitive mistakes in the evaluation of products identified by sustainability labels and claims. This work analyzes the halo effect and the source credibility bias in the interpretation of product attributes based on third-party certified labels. It is hypothesized that, regardless of their specific meaning, official labels lead consumers to infer higher environmental sustainability, quality and price of the product, due to the credibility attributed to the certifying entity. It also examines the extent to which providing the consumer with accurate labeling information helps prevent biased heuristic thinking. An experimental between-subject study was performed with a sample of 412 Spanish business students and data were analyzed using partial least squares. Findings revealed that consumers tend to infer environmental superiority and, consequently, higher quality in products identified by both organic and non-organic certified labels, due to their credibility. Label credibility was also associated with price inferences, to a greater extent than the meaning attributed to the label. Interestingly, providing accurate information did not avoid biased heuristic thinking in product evaluation.

“…Several scholars (Sciarelli, Tani, Landi and Turriziani, 2020, Claver-Corté s et al, 2019, Fombrun, 1996 agree on the existence of a close relationship between a person's perception of a company and business success. A global research conducted by McKinsey in 2010 shows that the majority of top management believes that CSR positively affects the long-term shareholder value as well as the corporate reputation.…”

The aim of the paper is to analyse the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and brand reputation in the luxury sector. In particular, the paper from one hand analyzes the drivers that lead to a growing integration of social responsibility in the competitive strategies of luxury firms and, on the other hand focuses on the role of CSR as a driver of brand reputation. Starting from review of the literature, the factors that influence the reputation in the brand-based global luxury industry are discussed, highlighting a gradual shift from reputation based on product quality to one focused on firm’s sustainability. The methodology also includes three case studies of Italian family firms representing best practices in CRS reputation according to 2015 version of Standard Ethics Italian Index: Brunello Cucinelli, Damiani and Luxottica. The study highlights the increasing role CSR practices are assuming in the luxury industry along with the needs for luxury firms to adopt strategic innovations and innovative business models coherent with the principles of sustainability. Furthermore, the analysis illustrates how different socially responsible behaviors have influenced the economic results of the three companies analyzed. The empirical evidences contribute to the CSR and reputation literature by focusing on Italian family firms operating in the luxury sector.
