A Company

Purpose This paper aims to ascertain whether a company with a solid reputation for corporate sustainability leadership deems its workforce to be as important as its external stakeholders when developing and communicating its sustainability activities, and to evaluate its workforce’s recognition of such activities. Design/methodology/approach To achieve these aims, a case study of a leading Brazilian company was carried out. The authors conducted an interview with the corporate sustainability department and submitted a survey by questionnaire to its employees. The data were complemented by documentary analysis of the company’s annual reports, sustainability reports, corporate website, newsletters and press releases. Findings Results suggest that the company does attribute significant importance to its workforce and that its employees have sound knowledge of its sustainability practices and engage with them. Research limitations/implications Given that the research adopts a case study approach, the scope for generalisation is limited. Originality/value The present study explores a neglected aspect of extant research – the relations between corporate sustainability and human resources.

Sustainability Leadership

Leaders are promoters of change and challengers of the norm by encouraging creativity and risk taking. Leaders concentrate on goals, objectives, mission, and vision. They concern themselves with doing the ethical or right thing. Corporations have grown into multinational firms due to trust, loyalty and support of the components they serve. Businesses are more global today. These firms are challenged with the task of maintaining trust and balancing the numerous, often competing needs of their stakeholders. Needs include greater profits, lower price for consumers, higher wages for employees, less waste and pollution, and growing demands for ethical and moral behavior. Technology has made many actions crystal clear as to what standards should be followed. However, today managers need to know how to be global managers. This is a must in order for large corporations to effectively function and succeed in the global market. What does a global manager need to know to lead responsibly? This paper addresses corporate sustainability leadership within the global compact.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.
