Over the years, the idea of corporate social responsibility has attracted the interest both of practitioners and researchers. While a discourse has occurred in the context of the meaning of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), there is no extensive analysis of the latest contributions. To address this gap, three objectives have been formulated for the purpose of this paper: to analyse development trends in CSR definitions, to assess the applicability of scientific efforts in the above-mentioned area and to demonstrate future research opportunities and threats based on the state-of-the-art in CSR. An organized literature review and bibliometric methods have been proposed based on 55 articles published in the “Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management Journal”, the top ranked periodical with the highest Impact Factor, from its beginnings to January 2021. This research provides a clear overview of the recent CSR trends that are present in the literature, by pinpointing those works that refer to significant characteristics and indicate future trajectories of CSR in a managerial practical context, particularly important for the effectiveness of future CSR-oriented organizational activities. This paper summarises the existing CSR-related knowledge and constitutes the first attempt to investigate the process of the creation and development of the corporate social responsibility concept from its origins to its contemporary multidimensionality.

Travel and tour operators (TTOs) have become increasingly and positively engaged in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) due to increased consumer awareness and responsible business practices. However, CSR engagement has not fully permeated the travel and tourism industry in Nepal as it is still considered ambiguous. There is a need to identify baseline knowledge, and to institute programs and policies for CSR engagement. This study formulated a conceptual model to empirically test the relationship between perceptions of CSR (comparative, benefits and favorability) and its association with the importance, participation and future engagement intentions among TTOs in Nepal. Data were collected via a questionnaire among TTO (n = 138) that were registered with the National Association of Tour and Travel Agents. Based on the results, CSR was deemed to be important due to customers’ favorability toward organizations that implemented related activities. This relationship influenced CSR participation and subsequently led to future intentions to engage. Overall, it was apparent that the TTOs which were essentially small and medium enterprises were focused on CSR implementation largely due to customers’ pressure and/or demand. This study provides knowledge to devise appropriate strategies to drive CSR implementation in the tourism industry via TTO in Nepal.

Mangrove area identically are slum because they are located in river estuaries with unplanned environmental management. Not so with the mangrove area at Gunung Anyar Tambak Surabaya. Women in this region actively carry out nature conservation and protect the environment so that they are well preserved. This research was conducted with the aim to find out how women interpret the triple bottom line concept as a pillar of Corporate Social Responsibility implemented by the National Electricity Company of East Java. Data was collected by FGD, interviews and also environmental observations. Phenomenology as a theory and also the method used in this study. Triple bottom line concept and Corporate Social Responsibility are used to analyse. The results of the study show that the meaning of women about the triple bottom line concept is a part of their daily lives that cannot be separated. The existence and absence of a Corporate Social Responsibility program from the National Electricity Company will make women in the mangrove area of Gunung Anyar Tambak continue to carry out environmental hygiene from garbage flowing in the river. Thus the triple bottom line pillar, namely planet (natural environment) is maintained and benefits profit (profit, second pillar) and this is an active awareness (people, third pillar) of women in the mangrove area of Gunung Anyar Tambak Surabaya.

This study aims to examine the impact of short selling constraints on corporate social responsibility (CSR) of listed tourism companies in China. Based on the external governance theory, it is hypothesized that short selling deregulation provides a monitoring function on CSR performance of tourism companies, which are highly exposed to social and environmental problems. A multiple linear regression is conducted with a panel data of Chinese 21 listed tourism firms between 2010 and 2018. The descriptive statistics show that average CSR score of Chinese tourism companies is 25.52/100, which represents low CSR performance of tourism industry. The regression results illustrate that short selling constraints relaxation can improve CSR performance of tourism companies. The findings of this study indicate that financial policymakers shall consider further relaxation of short selling constraints, which can be beneficial to industry, such as tourism, that are sensitive to CSR practices and performance.

<p>Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender a estrutura intelectual que conecta teorias e autores que pesquisam a gestão da sustentabilidade em relação ao desafio das organizações como intuito de propor uma agenda para pesquisa futura no tema. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliométrica a partir dos artigos publicados em periódicos internacionais. Foi realizada uma pesquisa na base de dados “Web of Science – ISI Web Of Knowledge”, considerando quatro periódicos de referência nos anos disponíveis na base: <em>Business Strategy and the Environment</em> (FI=2,877), <em>Corporate social responsibility and environmental management</em> (FI=2,804), <em>Ecological Economics</em> (FI=4,062), <em>Journal of Environmental Economics and Management</em> (FI=3,398). Foi realizada análise bibliométrica sobre o conteúdo estudado nos artigos de gestão da sustentabilidade, identificando os trabalhos mais referenciados, as publicações mais relevantes, e os periódicos da amostra. Foi feita também uma análise de cocitação, demostrando as relações conceituais entre os trabalhos que fundamentam o tema e identificando tendências dos estudos sobre o tema. Os resultados identificam três grandes áreas de estudo: “importância e desafios para a sustentabilidade ambiental”, que está ligada a três fatores da análise fatorial – “alertas, urgência e avaliação da sustentabilidade” (F2), “custos e riscos da não-sutentabilidade” (F4) e “valor dos bens e serviços ambientais” (F5); “crescimento econômico e meio-ambiente” (F1); “sustentabilidade e vantagem competitiva” (F3). O artigo contribui para a melhor contribuição do tema sustentabilidade e para a orientação de pesquisas futuras.<strong></strong></p>
