<p>The environmental management of companies and organizations in general is going to be internalized in the operation and management structures, linking conceptual and chronologically to improve corporate reputation, management excellence, knowledge and innovation. Embracing, undoubtedly too, with the assumption of an ethical commitment of the company to society: environmental sustainability and generational solidarity in the transmission of culture and values of that nature. The existing need to know the potential impact of business operations on society and the environment results in the appearance of a document, which may well be called a Sustainability Report or Social Balance, which is compiled from a series social indicators, which are the instruments responsible to reflect the value of the shares held by the company in social and environmental fields.</p>

The Impact

Corporate social responsibility has been a densely researched area. Research paradigms have evolved significantly stamping from a sociological focus to a more business integrated framework and the currently growing emphasis on quantifying its performance. However, while much literatures champion the proponents of a proactive corporate social responsibility, the contributions of the more responsive version have been largely under studied. This is not an empirical paper. Far from it, this paper attempts to unveil the current literature gaps pertaining to responsive corporate social responsibility. This paper explores the intrinsic contributions of responsive corporate social responsibility on the moral discourse, organisational change and reputation management in an organisation. It theorises the concept of responsive corporate social responsibility as a moderator of external pressures, as a vector of a moral reboot in organisation change and a device for salvaging reputational damage in business organisations. This paper draws from the literature gaps between studies of normative morality and its interaction in principles of general management, organisational change concepts, branding and corporate reputation. It underwrites to examine the moral contents and discourse of business firms when faced with hostile externalities and studies the moral entrails in its organisational change processes and sequentially how this implicates the corporate reputation of a firm. This paper argues that the impacts of responsive corporate social responsibility and its ability to impact moral dispositions in business organisations deserve closer scrutiny. Study on the influence of responsive corporate social responsibility on organisation change and reputational salvage has similarly is also underscored. This article provides a theoretical review of the emerging gaps in corporate social responsibility and prompts that the concept of responsive social responsibility warrants closer attention.

Corporate reputation, being one of the most important assets that affect the profitability of companies, creates a difference in helping companies to recover from economic crises, gain price advantage against their competitors, diversify their products in the face of fierce competition, and thus, raise their brand value. Non-predictable and sudden global or regional events may cause companies and organizations to make unplanned changes and these changes can inflict difficulties on business operations. This chapter addresses the sudden crises experienced by companies and illustrates their success or failure in managing these crises and the extent of reputation being affected in return. Examples are given to show how crises can be turned into opportunities when managed well and how they can lead to disaster when managed inappropriately.

Sustainability Report

This case traces UPS's first corporate sustainability report (CSR), “Operating in Unison,” from its origins up to its publication in 2006. It is based on interviews with managers who championed and shaped the report internally. UPS took its CSR quite seriously, basing its reporting and goals on the more stringent Global Reporting Indices (GRIs) as opposed to merely complying with U.S. regulations. Soon after going public, UPS was significantly expanding its European operations; it followed that its CSR ultimately took the form of many European CSRs, addressing the relationships among financial performance, environmental sustainability, and engaging stakeholders such as employees and the community. By 2008, some form of CSR would become routine in the United States. Yet not all CSRs are created equal; the case includes copious examples from UPS's first report, with key performance indicators in all categories. Given UPS's employee-centered culture, the company debated how much internal information to report. UPS also has an engineering culture whose innovative thinking helped align its business model with efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint. UPS managers and employees are invariably motivated by “doing the right thing”—a phenomenon increasingly found in strong brands. UPS's reporting grew out of its culture. Yet a major topic for our times is how to manage reputational risk, especially when these risks are inherent to the business. As corporate social responsibility gains public attention, will first-movers such as UPS be rewarded for taking CSR seriously?

Social media allow companies to engage with their interest groups, thus enabling them to solidify corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies. The concept of CSR is now well-established for companies in Western countries, and CSR is becoming an increasingly popular topic in developing countries. This study investigated differences in the perception of the term ‘CSR’ on Instagram between developing and developed countries. We analysed 113,628 Instagram messages from 38,590 unique users worldwide. The data were recorded between 19 November 2017 and 11 December 2018. In both developed and developing countries, charity and social good were common features. On the contrary, a difference was identified in the area of sustainability, which is an important part of communication in developed countries, and the area of education, which is an important part of communication in developing countries. Community analysis revealed four dominant communities in developed countries: (1) philanthropic responsibility, (2) environmental sustainability, (3) pleasure from working and (4) start-ups with CSR; and three in developing countries: (1) social and environmental responsibility, (2) philanthropic responsibility and (3) reputation management. These results could facilitate the strategic management of CSR to adapt communication to local environments and company contexts. Our findings could allow managers to focus CSR activities on relevant issues in developing countries and thus differentiate their CSR communication from competing organizations.

Reputation management, as a new segment of the corporate governance system is experiencing significant dynamic impacts, particularly in the conditions of an information economy, which in the result creates a number of new challenges and, at the same time, opportunities. In the conditions of global absorption by the Internet of all spheres of human life and activity of companies the circumstances of formation and management of corporate reputation radically change. The purpose of the conducted study is an attempt to solve the issue of finding an effective tool for constructing the company's corporate reputation in the context of existing interests and expectations of its key stakeholders. It has been ground that a number of modern technological approaches and methods of reputation management for constructing corporate reputation of a company taking into account the interests of key stakeholders have been developed and tested at the theoretical and practical levels. Each of them is characterized by peculiarities of application, differently forming influence on groups of stakeholders, and also have certain advantages and disadvantages. It has been proved that the manifestation of advantages and disadvantages of each technological approach can be traced depending on the size of a company, type of activity and priorities of its key stakeholders. It has been determined that most technological approaches to reputation management are developed and focused on constructing a corporate reputation among the representatives of a consumer group of stakeholders. This is due to the strategic importance of this group of stakeholders, which most strongly expresses the level of competitiveness of a company in the market and ensures the financial stability of the business. It has been noted that the use of technological approaches in the process of constructing and maintaining a positive corporate reputation should be supported by the formation of the reputational assets of a company and the development of its corporate social responsibility. These activities require significant efforts and resources of a company. The scientific value of the conducted researches is a supplement to the theoretical and methodological basis of reputation management, in particular in the part of grounding and expediency of using technological approaches of constructing corporate reputation in accordance with the interests and expectations of key stakeholders of a company.
