Environmental Sustainability in Business

Empirical research on corporate social responsiveness, including its relationship to economic performance, is examined. The research suggests the use of a contingency approach to social responsiveness, based on factors such as organizational size, relevance of a social issue, and industry characteristics. The relationship between social responsiveness and economic performance is inconclusive.
