“…Corporate sustainability policies are influenced by institutions in MNEs' home-countries (Doh & Guay, 2006;Kolk & van Tulder, 2010;Matten & Moon, 2008). In an effort to characterise the nature of countries' institutional infrastructures, the ''varieties of capitalism'' approach distinguishes between liberal and coordinated market economies (Hall & Soskice, 2001).…”

“…Greater and actively managed positive spill-over and sustainable development effects (cf. Dunning & Fortanier, 2007; Kolk and van Tulder, 2010) are externally actionable and require a positive duty approach. Table 5 provides a gap analysis on the SDG targets with which the companies engage least, framed along the dimensions of the two SDG traits used in this study.…”

“…Studies on the role of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in sustainable development have generally focused on the macro-level of analysis, primarily by offering insights on the link between FDI and (mainly economic) development (Dunning & Fortanier, 2007;Kolk & van Tulder, 2010). In addition, a rich -albeit still fragmented -literature is developing on how companies can reach the ''base of the pyramid'' (e.g.…”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cannot be achieved without the contributions of multinational enterprises (MNEs). However, extant international business research hardly covers the private sector's role in achieving international policy goals. This article conceptualises the SDGs as a goal-based institution. Building on institutional theory, it develops propositions that help explain MNEs' engagement with SDGs. Exploratory survey results from 81 European and North American Financial Times Global 500 companies indicate that MNEs engage more with SDG targets that are actionable within their (value chain) operations than those outside of it, and more with SDG targets that ''avoid harm'' than those that ''do good''. Differences in SDG engagement based on MNEs' home-and host-countries and their industrial sectors are also explored. We draw policy conclusions for a more pro-active involvement of MNEs in sustainable development, and we define avenues for future international business research. In particular, cross-sector partnerships deserve further attention.

“…Thus, one of the traditional approaches refers to four dimensions of CSR -economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary or philanthropic (Carroll, 1979). A second important view on CSR systematization and measurement relates the concept of social responsibility to that of sustainable development (Kolk and Van Tulder, 2010). From this standpoint, CSR comprises three dimensionseconomic, environmental and social.…”

The objective of the current paper is to investigate the impact of customers' perceptions of their service providers' corporate social responsibility (CSR) on customer loyalty, bringing relevant and useful insights regarding the nature of this relationship in the retail banking industry, and in the particular context of a developing country. The objective was accomplished by planning and implementing a consumer survey among a sample of 1449 Romanian retail banking customers, using an item-pool drawn up from the literature. The observed variables were grouped into several reflective latent variables, and afterwards included into a multiple regression model. The results indicate that customers' loyalty towards retail banking companies is significantly and positively impacted by how customers perceive their providers' CSR. Moreover, analyzing each category of responsibilities individually, banks' responsibility towards their customers can be emphasized as being the most important dimension in our research context. The results convey practical implications for customer loyalty enhancement in a European developing country's retail banking industry, by identifying those CSR dimensions on which organizations should focus on within their CSR policies implementation and communication.
