Creating Value Through Sustainability
Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this book examines the interaction between ESG strategies and value creation. It highlights how sustainability is a wide-ranging concept capable of engaging the social sciences in various ways. Firstly, the study analyses how ESG initiatives can enhance value creation using a framework inspired by strategic cost management. Then, it takes an ethical perspective by investigating the ethics-washing phenomenon associated with the (ir)responsible use of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the focus is on the integration of ESG factors into risk management and performance measurement systems through the lens of management accounting, and on the interplay between corporate social responsibility and tax avoidance. Moreover, the book proposes a constitutionally oriented reading of corporate sustainability from a legal standpoint. It also includes the perspective of financial companies, exploring the role of administrative controls in fostering banks' commitment to sustainability. The study focuses also on an organizational perspective by exploring how human resource management can support ESG strategies. Finally, the research underlines the corporate model “Società Benefit” to examine its effect on default risk.

Sustainable Value Creation
The goal of this book is to define Sustainable Value Creation in terms of a set of principles that differentiate it from existing definitions of CSR, and from related concepts such as sustainability and business ethics. To internalize these ten principles is to understand how the firm can respond to stakeholder needs to optimize value creation over the medium to long term. Ultimately, this second edition book aims to reform both business practice and business education. By building a theory that redefines CSR as central to the value creation process, the ten principles of Sustainable Value Creation redefine how firms approach each of their operational functions, but also how these subjects should be taught in universities worldwide. As such, this book will hopefully be of value to instructors as a complement to their teaching, students as a guide in their education, and managers as a framework to help them respond to the complex, dynamic context that they are expected to navigate every day. This book is a manifesto for success in today’s complex, dynamic business environment. The book is designed as an easy-to-digest, critical introductory text to CSR. With supporting online teaching resources, it is aimed primarily at the MBA and Executive MBA market, and for CSR, sustainability, and business ethics courses taught by instructors skeptical of existing definitions and organizing principles of CSR, sustainability, or business ethics.
