This study empirically examines the impact of firms' environmental (E), social (S), and governancial (G) factors on their short-term and long-term values. To measure firms' non-financial performance, we use ESG performance grades published by KCGS (Korea Corporate Governance Service). We employ stock log return as the proxy of each firm's short-term value, and Tobin's Q ratio as that of its long-term value. From a series of regression analyses, we find each of the ESG factors generally has a negative impact on stock return while it has a positive impact on the Tobin's Q ratio. These results imply that firms' effort for enhancing their non-financial performance may adversely affect their financial performance in a short term; but in the long-term point of view, firms' values increase through their good images engraved by their respective social, environmental and governancial efforts. In addition, we compare the relative strength of impact among E, S, G, the three non-financial factors on the firms' value measured in Tobin's Q ratio, and find that S (social factor) and G (governancial factor) give statistically significant impact on the firms' value respectively. This result tells us it would be advised to strategically embed CSV (creating shared value) pursuing both of profits and social responsibility in the firms' future agenda. While E (environmental factor) is shown to be an insignificant factor for the firms' value, it should be emphasized as a major concern by all the stakeholders in order to form a sound business ecosystem.

It seems a common sense that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key driver to attain business sustainability. Nevertheless, there has been little research on the performance of socially responsible activities, including economic and environmental responsibility activities in internationally diversified firms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CSR activities on management performance. For this evaluation, an empirical analysis was conducted with a total of 2,520 cases, selected from companies listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index market for six years from 2013 to 2018. As proxies for management performance, financial date such as a total asset net profit ratio and a total asset-operating ratio were used. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted to test hypotheses. The results of this analysis indicated that firms in the CSR outstanding group are significantly higher than other groups in management performances. In addition, CSR activities of internationally diversified firms positively influence their total asset net profit ratio and total asset-operating ratio. The results suggested that CSR activities of these firms can play a significant role in enhancing management performances amid the economic status of Korea, where a degree of export dependency is high.

Exploring on two major questions: 'Why do we feel more love for certain objects?' and 'How can design use this knowledge to realize design sustainability?', this article presents an alternative way of approaching the problem of design sustainability from the perspective that our relationships with design objects are of an extended mode of social relations. Recent discussions on design sustainability have transformed the notion of the problem by seeing it as a problem of our basic perception of design objects and our relationships with them. In this light, I propose that design sustainability could not be achieved solely by approaching from a mechanistic perspective, but by re-framing the way we see and relate things around us and by supporting our changes and actions to move forward a more sustainable notion of our relationships with the objects. As a way to realize design sustainability, I propose that design should involve story-making quality that supports our initiatives to build more affectional relations with objects by seeing the objects as entities of communication that tell stories of us, thus reflect our identities and meanings of our lives. Proceeding on the exploration of the subject, I present some of conceptual outlines in forms of an image diary, an interplay-able furniture unit, and a performance instruction that suggest a way for a special story-making process and thus a stronger emotional tie with the objects.

The issue of environmental crisis encourages companies to develop strategies and programs which incorporate social and environmental considerations into their processes. The objectives of this study are to identify the strategies used in implementing corporate social and environmental reporting (CSER) and to investigate the impact of these strategies on organization performance. This study uses as its sample companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and engaged in environmentally sensitive business activities and applies content analysis to their annual reports. The data used in the study is secondary data in the form of annual and sustainability reports of companies, and primary data in the form of interviews. The results show that companies use both reactive and proactive strategies in reporting their social and environmental activities. The study also identifies the impacts of such reporting on both the financial and non-financial performances of the investigated companies. The study contributes to the social and environmental accounting literature by exploring the motivations and strategies of companies in their CSER. The empirical results will provide important insights into the influence of the strategies employed by companies in their corporate social and environmental reporting and the impacts of such strategies on organizational performance.

사회적 가치 창출과 경제적 지속가능성을 동시에 추구하는 사회적 기업가정신에 관한 연구가 최근 국내외에서 빠른 속도로 증가했다. 연구자들은 사회적 기업의 성과 향상에 사회적 기업가정신이 주요한 요인이라는 점에 주목해 다수의 실증연구를 수행하였다. 하지만 대부분의 연구에서 사회적 기업의 성과를 기업가의 주관적 인식에 기초하여 측정하고 있어 동일방법편의의 한계를 내포하고 있다. 또한 사회적 기업가정신이라는 기업가의 개인적 특성이 사회적 및 경제적 성과라는 특수한 이중적 목표 달성에 영향을 미치는 구체적인 과정을 설명할 수 있는 실증적 증거도 부족하다. 이에 본 연구는 변수 간의 실증 규명을 위한 성과 측정의 객관성을 높이고, 사회적·경제적 성과를 단일한 것으로 보는 특성인 혼합가치 지향성을 포함하여 사회적 기업가정신이 성과에 미치는 영향을 재검증한다. 연구의 목적은 사회적 기업가정신과 혼합가치 지향성이 사회적 기업의 사회적 및 경제적 성과에 미치는 영향을 검증하는 것이다. SK의 사회성과인센티브(SPC)에 참여한 국내 사회적 기업의 인식조사와 객관적인 성과 자료를 활용하여 회귀분석을 수행한 결과, 사회적 기업가정신의 하위 요인인 위험감수성이 경제적 성과와 사회적 성과에 대해 유의한 수준에서 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 사회적 기업가정신은 혼합가치 지향성을 향상시키며, 혼합가치 지향성은 사회적 성과에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 사회적 기업가정신과 혼합가치 지향성이 성과에 차별적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 규명하였으며, 선행 연구에서의 주관성 측정과 동일방법편의의 극복을 시도하였다는 데 그 의의가 있다.

This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditures and both financial and non-financial performance of Jordanian commercial banks during the period 2008-2018. To measure the variables of interest, secondary data published on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) website were processed to become preliminary data suitable for the nature of the study. The study sample amounted to 13 commercial banks, which represent all Jordanian commercial banks listed on ASE.. The study found that there is a positive, statistically significant relationship between CSR expenditures and financial performance, as the study showed that the return on equity (ROE) has a positive and significant relationship with CSR expenditure, while the return on assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q model have a statistically significant negative relationship with CSR expenditure, while the market stock price (MSP) had a positive, but not statistically significant. The study also found that there is a positive, statistically significant relationship between CSR expenditures and non-financial performance, which was represented by total deposits and total training expenditures in Jordanian commercial banks. Accordingly, the study recommends encouraging banks to prepare sustainability reports and CSR reports, which are considered comprehensive, and not only with disclosures within the annual reports.

본 연구는 한국사회적기업진흥원의 2015년 219개 사회적기업 경영공시자료를 중심으로 다중선형 회귀분석기법을 활용하여, 사회적기업의 사회적 성과와 경제적 성과에 영향을 미치는 조직특성요인을 검증하고, 사회적 성과와 경제적 성과 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회적기업의 조직특성 중 인증연수 및 외부지원 수혜액이 사회적기업의 사회적 성과인 취약계층 고용에 모두 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 조직형태와 인증유형, 사회서비스 업종(제공 유형) 등의 변수들은 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 사회적기업의 조직특성 중 인증연수와 외부지원 수혜액이 사회적기업의 경제적 성과인 매출액에 정(+)의 영향을 미치나, 조직형태의 경우는 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 인증유형과 사회서비스 업종(제공 유형) 등의 변수들은 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 사회적기업의 사회적 성과인 취약계층 고용과 경제적 성과인 매출액 간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 사회적기업의 매출액과 취약계층 고용이 서로 선순환의 관계에 있는 정(+)의 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과는 인증연수별로 정부의 사회적기업 육성 및 지원정책을 다양화하여 사회적 성과와 경제적 성과를 극대화함으로써 사회적기업의 자립과 지속가능성을 도모할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.
