Bottom Line

A raíz de las actuales crisis globales que impactan la humanidad, los esfuerzos cooperativos se articulan entre múltiples y distintos actores sociales, con el objetivo de crear sinergias positivas y colocar al planeta en una ruta más sostenible y resiliente. Ante tal situación internacional, los emprendimientos sociales se estructuran en la creación de propuestas de cambio sistémico de nuestros tradicionales paradigmas sociopolíticos. Es por esta razón que, el objetivo del presente artículo es la discusión sobre la aplicación de la Filosofía de la Economía de Suficiencia al desarrollo de los emprendimientos sociales. Esto, se desarrollará para comprender mejor los impactos sociales y ambientales generados por dicho modelo de negocios, específicamente en el mundo post-COVID-19. Asimismo, el estudio se instrumentaliza a partir de tres aristas analíticas: I. Análisis general del concepto “emprendimientos sociales” y su relación con el Triple Bottom Line y la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial, II. Discusión sobre los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y III. Integración y relación de los puntos anteriores con la Filosofía de Economía de Suficiencia.

The Human Resource (HR) function is often viewed by those in organizations as a process function and a cost-center, which results in an enhanced risk of outsourcing and automation. However, HR is also uniquely positioned to engage firms in cross-functional transformational change efforts, as its work is embedded in every business function within an organization. Sustainable HR and the triple bottom line (TBL) present opportunities for HR to build a strategic role within organizations. This essay provides strategic and tactical models, with specific steps for implementation, to assist HR in re-assert its role in driving the competitiveness of the firm through Sustainable HR.

This study aims to establish the link of key Islamic banking sustainability indicators with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) as a policy recommendation for sustainable development and to mitigate the distressing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the triple bottom line (people, planet, and profit). To identify the key Islamic banking sustainability indicators, the authors selected the most cited sustainability measurement indexes in Islamic banking. Initially, the indexes were divided into 10 broader themes, and then the key Islamic banking sustainability indicators were shortlisted from each theme based on their high-frequency distribution. The shortlisted sustainability indicators were then ratified to be in line with Islamic philosophy based on “Maqasid al-Shariah” (objectives of Shariah) and were subsequently grouped into the three dimensions of economic, environmental, and social sustainability based on the axial coding method. Finally, the categorized sustainability indicators were aligned with the relevant UN SDGs through the axial coding method for policy formulation, and respectively 12 propositions were developed for policy formulation. This study labeled the methodological process of this study as the ECA method (exploration, categorization, alignment). The new ECA method offers a reverse extension in the “SDG compass” developed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for aligning business policies with the UN SDGs. The process of aligning Islamic banking sustainability indicators with the UN SDGs will provide a roadmap to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of economic, environmental, and social issues. Due to the diversity of the UN SDG framework, it covers multiples aspects for sustainable development. Therefore, considering the UN SDGs in terms of various banking instruments will mitigate the multiple distressing impacts of COVID-19 on the triple bottom line (people, planet, and profit), it will also promote a sustainable development agenda.
