A shift towards more environmentally friendly and socially responsible food systems is a key step in the achievement of global sustainable development goals. To obtain significant results, however, it is essential to find participative ways to frame food sustainability objectives, so they can speak to a wide array of actors of change. This article addresses the promising potential of empowering actors across the food system to make a shift in their food choices, by facilitating the association of food sustainability values with contemporary moral issues. In this context, a conceptual framework for a transition towards food sustainability is proposed, based upon the concept of the moral circle. This approach transcends the human-centred methods enacted in traditional sustainable development agendas, offering an alternative with a more holistic perspective. It is expected that emphasising moral reflection around sustainability might encourage societal participation in the creation of sustainable, fair and healthier food systems.

But some of the organizations compromise to this fact. They are rather busy exploiting the resources. Bluffing the customers for making quick profits has become a prevalent notion. Amidst all these selfish motives, they tend to forget about the repercussions which we and our planet may endure as a whole in near future. There are many evidences when responsible companies have proved themselves performing better in the long run.Green Guerrilla Marketing is an innovative concept, trying to figure out various ways to successfully market the products and at the same time acting ethically and socially responsible towards the sustainable development.

The unfortunate economic environment emanated from the outbreak of the coronavirus has suddenly raised business organizations' concerns over the value creation. This new era forced them to focus on dynamic and digital capabilities to cope with the adverse changes. Following the stakeholder theory and the resource-based view, this chapter attempts to specify value creation of companies to preserve strategic position while satisfying the demands and interests of their stakeholders. In this sense, corporate social responsibility (CSR) seems a viable way of providing help and support to stakeholders during the fight against the pandemic as well as a catalyzer for the integration of sustainable development goals that can bridge the widened gap in the society. Hence, this chapter seeks to present an understanding on socially responsible value creation, dynamic and digital capabilities, and implementation of sustainability-driven CSR initiatives to ensure recovery, growth, and achieve sustainable development goals.

Sustainable Finance

Sustainable finance refers to the integration of environmental, social, and governance (or ESG) considerations in processes of financial decision-making. It includes a number of strategies and financial instruments, such as green bonds, screening, impact investing, socially responsible investing, and so on. Over the past few decades, sustainable finance has evolved from a strategy employed by ethical investors (such as religious institutions) to screen “bad” companies (arms, alcohol, and tobacco manufacturers; casinos; etc.) from their portfolios to an increasingly central part of banks’ and other financial institutions’ risk management strategies. Over the next few years, scholars and practitioners expect sustainable finance to evolve even further, becoming a strategy for investors to actively pursue new opportunities that traditional financial analyses fail to reveal or accurately value. In that sense, sustainable finance has evolved alongside corporate sustainability, shifting from a values-based focus on social responsibility to a more explicitly financial focus on long-term, strategic growth. For the purposes of this essay, sustainable finance refers to a number of trends, including impact investing, socially responsible investing, financing for sustainable development, and so on. Early analyses of sustainable finance were focused on establishing correlation between the integration of social and environmental concerns in investment decisions and the performance of those investments. More recent analyses have started trying to understand the causal relationships between impacts and investments, and between social-environmental performance and financial performance. The role of financial institutions like mutual funds and insurance companies in mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development has become an important topic for practitioners and policymakers, as well as for academics interested in sustainable development, corporate sustainability, and a range of other issues. However, sustainable finance has remained more or less marginal within mainstream academic finance, owing in part to the idea that it does not offer anything theoretically new to study. And yet, as a number of scholars have shown, sustainable finance offers a novel lens through which to study emergent forms of risk and their interaction with each other, as well as more classic theoretical problems such as governance, performativity, and valuation. Because this is an emerging and rapidly evolving field, many of the works cited are relatively recent. A growing contingent of critical scholars, especially in economic geography and political ecology, has also formed around the notion of natural capital and the valorization/financialization of nature it engenders.
