“…Despite the adoption of common reporting tools, our results confirm how nonfinancial reports could be characterized by different information (Boiral, ). This evidence highlights how nonfinancial reporting is still typically adopted by large firms (KPMG, ), confirming the difficulty for small firms in adopting voluntary nonfinancial reports to share their contributions to sustainable development through common standards like GRI (Ruiz‐Lozano, De‐los‐Ríos‐Berjillos, & Millán‐Lara, ).…”

Stakeholder engagement (SE) is considered a best practice in sustainability reporting, as it increases companies' social legitimacy and reputation. Companies have to properly communicate the SE activities, paying attention to the social, cultural, and political factors that affect the perception of stakeholders. This is particularly relevant in the tourism sector, which is a typical multistakeholder context. In the academic literature, few studies have investigated the role of the country‐specific determinants of corporate social responsibility, and none of them adopt a cross‐country approach. The objective of this paper is to analyze the disclosure of SE, observing the content of nonfinancial reports and company websites of all companies belonging to the Global Reporting Initiative database. Cross‐country analysis confirms that European and non‐European firms approach SE activities differently. The research offers a contribution to the development and improvement of company relations with stakeholders from a value cocreation perspective, identifying the areas of interest on which firms can work to advance the SE communication process.

“…A clear example is represented by the recovery of organic waste from accommodation facilities towards responsible initiatives. Literature has documented the relevance of responsible tourism in the tourism industry (Ruiz-Lozano et al 2018;Wocke and Merwe 2007). It emphasizes practices that are environmentally friendly, socially acceptable and economically beneficial to all stakeholders (Musavengane and Steyn 2013).…”

This paper is aimed at eliciting, by means of a multi-level perspective, potential drivers and barriers of the tourism industry in order to generate valuable information for policy makers to improve policy strategies for an effective transition towards sustainability. A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats–Analytic Network Process (SWOT-ANP) framework was employed to explore the potential development of a second-generation biorefinery in Salento (a touristic area located in the southeast of Italy in Apulia Region) able to integrate waste management, renewable energy and bio-products production based on resource circularity in the tourism industry. Results indicate that survey participants recognized a higher level of priority for the pressures coming from the overall external setting involving values, dominant practices, rules and technologies (landscape and regime) over the internal tourism industry dynamics (niche). Results also show that the top five ranked factors are mainly pertaining to weaknesses (excessive bureaucracy and lack of technology and infrastructure) and threats (social acceptability and lack of long-term planning by governments), which can concretely jeopardize the transition towards a greater sustainability in the investigated area. The analysis presented constitutes a valuable model for agenda setting in order to find adequate policy actions to promote the transition.

“…The Global Code of Ethics for Tourism is a set of principles that aims to promote sustainable tourism development while respecting human rights and cultural diversity (Castañeda, 2012). The code encourages tourism businesses to respect the rights of workers, including the right to fair wages, safe working conditions, and freedom of association (Ruiz-Lozano, De-los-Ríos-Berjillos, & Millán-Lara, 2018). Another initiative is the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (Fennell, 2019).…”

“…Governments can enforce child labor laws effectively, provide legal protections for children, and promote a favorable environment for tourism businesses to operate responsibly. Governments can also provide support to vulnerable children and their families, such as access to education, health care, and social services (Ruiz-Lozano, De-los-Ríos-Berjillos, & Millán-Lara, 2018).…”
