“…Muñoz‐Torres et al (2018), based on the criteria that are used by ESG rating agencies to evaluate corporate sustainability performance, indicated that diversity, human rights, nondiscrimination and promotion of equality are the most relevant in the social domain. Lock and Seele (2015) focused on fair treatment of employees, human rights, and ethical issues in this field, while Lupu (2019) stated that the main sources of social risks are labor‐market instability, social relations of communities, and political transformations. Rehman et al (2020) divided social obligations into four broad categories that a socially responsible organization would like to perform: legal, economic, philanthropic, and ethical responsibilities.…”

Many studies stress the importance of understanding actions within sustainable development to prevent risks brought by companies. Environment, social factors, corporate governance (ESG) as well as reputation are even more important risk factors.In turn, companies can take corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions to avoid ESG and reputational risk. The aim of the article is to analyze the role of CSR in risk mitigation. The study includes content analysis of integrated reports in terms of reporting information on both risk and CSR activities such as stakeholder engagement or environmental policy. The companies most often indicate governmental risk, followed by social risk. The most common CSR actions are those related to social impact. Despite the fact that the analyzed database of over 120 integrated reports is not fully homogeneous, the conducted research shows a statistically important correlation in categorization of risks and CSR actions. Both statistical analysis and analysis of the content of reports confirms that companies identify their ESG and reputational risks and use CSR actions to mitigate them.

Communication of Covid-19 consequences in the Baltic States inforsphere

et al. 2020

This article seeks to describe the dynamics of Covid-19 in the Baltic States and to analyse the ways of communicating the threat and its consequences. Particular attention is paid to the media strategies pursued in the study area. The research is based on Russian and English texts from the Baltic media, WHO official documents and datasets, as well as initiatives of the Baltic Sea region organisations (2020) counteracting Covid-19. A combination of these sources builds up an objective view of the situation and demonstrates how the pandemic and its consequences are represented in public consciousness given a certain pragmatic goal. The pandemic is a new type of threat; its consequences demonstrate a tendency towards negative synergy and a category shift from soft threats to hard ones. The research shows that several key strategies — counter-active, projective, conservative, mobilising, resilient, and reflective — are used to communicate the threat and its consequences in the media.

“…The foreign researchers also pay an attention to the problem's inter-discipline character of the appearance of the ecologically-dependent diseases and the environmental risk, among their number they separate such risk's factors: the behavioral, physiological, demographic, ecological, genetic ones [22], speak on the necessity to unite the efforts of geography, psychology, sociology, law, economics, the public policy in the researches of the social risks [33]. Thus, in our opinion, the very such multi-factuality and the inter-discipline should become the leading characteristic feature, positing the problem of the geographic research of the population's ecologically-caused diseases.…”
