Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to focus in particular on the effects produced on the image and reputation of the company that adopts the principles of sustainable development. Academics from different disciplines such as business, management, finance, economics and other related disciplines are invited to submit novel articles that include, but are not limited, to the following topics:
- measuring economics and marketing effects related to the adoption of sustainable development principles;
- the relationship between enterprise and territory in improving sustainable development;
- communications tools to improve stakeholders’ engagement in the search for sustainability;
- digital communication tools and dissemination of the image of sustainable business;
- non-financial reporting and digital communication;
- changes in sustainability measurement systems due to the digital technology revolution;
- innovative practices in production and logistics for sustainable development;
- corporate social responsibility and corporate social performance;
- sustainable investments and performance.
Specifically, purely theoretical papers (e.g., systematic literature reviews, bibliometric analysis, meta-analysis, morphological analysis) are welcome, as are empirical papers that contribute to theory and practice using any methodological approach (e.g., time lag studies, longitudinal studies, surveys, cross-national comparative studies, case studies).
