“…The communication of sustainability must involve key stakeholders, to improve awareness of mutual expectations, engagement of the parties, and use of social channels. (Civero, Rusciano, & Scarpato, 2018; Gregory, 2007; Invernizzi & Romenti, 2011).…”

The fisheries industry is currently characterized by a social context where levels of competitiveness and economic development must continue to grow, while simultaneously ensuring commitment to and guarantee of levels of environmental and social sustainability. Such businesses, demonstrate an elevated sensitivity to the territory in which they operate, voluntarily implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies in a sustainable development and stakeholder engagement perspective. This study will analyse-through an empirical analysis developed in the Italian contextthe level of sustainable strategies and CSR of the large buyers in the fisheries industry, as well as willingness to invest to create a sustainable product. Using multivariate statistical techniques, such as principal component analysis and cluster analysis, we will identify the various groups of buyers in the adoption of sustainable strategies and CSR practices in their business.

“…The communication of sustainability, the construct less influential on the ROI, must involve key stakeholders to improve awareness of mutual expectations, engagement of the parties and use of social channels. (Civero et al, 2017, 2018; Gregory, 2007; Invernizzi & Romenti, 2011). Although the paper supports the existing knowledge in the literature on the relationships among sustainability, marketing efforts and EP in the fishery industry, the work presents some limits concerning the empirical research.…”

In the last years, sustainability has become a successful, relevant, critical factor in several food industries. The adoption of a sustainable marketing strategy contributes positively to changes in society in terms of environmental, social and economic development. The relationship between sustainability and business performance has been widely debated in management and organisational studies. However, despite its importance and relevance, fishery sustainability has not been systematically considered by scientific studies. This paper identifies and analyses the critical factors that describe the propensity towards sustainable development for large companies within the Italian fishery sector. For this purpose, the relationships among the following latent variables were analysed: sustainable social behaviour, sustainable environmental behaviour, sustainable marketing, and return on investment. A theoretical research model has been proposed and empirically tested using a methodology based on structural equation modelling.

“…For instance, the current environmental crisis has been mainly caused by having excluded the ecological dimension from the social life [82] and not including the harmonious relationship with the environment as a critical factor to achieve social well-being. Thus, the possible short-term positive effects (e.g., production of organic food [83]) and long-term positive effects (e.g., reducing pollution) of the ecological dimension on social life have turned into negative effects (e.g., less healthy food and social limitations due to pollution). Social practices can operate in synergy with or in opposition to the local environment, producing either positive and sustainable "couplings" between social practices and environmental resources or destructive and unsustainable paths [84].…”

In 2015, The United Nations adopted an agenda for sustainable development in order to obtain “a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and for the world now and in the future (United Nations). The United Nations has defined 17 main goals, such as ending poverty, improving health, preserving the ocean, and tackling the climate change, in order to achieve worldwide sustainable development. Sustainable development is a crucial worldwide topic that encompasses three dimensions: economic, social and environmental. Nowadays, social ecological innovation has envisaged a new prominent business model focusing on social and environmental goals to achieve sustainable development. The intent of this paper is to propose the community garden framework as a social and ecological innovation tool in order to boost sustainable development in urban areas as well as rural areas. For this purpose, an empirical analysis based on a structured interview was conducted in the area of Naples on a sample of 150 gardeners. The results of the interviews have been aggregated by using a variance and correlation analysis in order to explore to what extent the social and environmental dimensions are linked to the community gardens and to identify a pattern between community gardens and social ecological innovation. Two attributes of community gardens, that is, urbanization effects mitigation and wellness and community, were identified as having the ability to influence other community garden attributes. Thus, the paper suggests using these highly influential factors to define a social and ecological innovation strategy based on a community gardens framework.
