Exploring the determinants and long-term performance outcomes of corporate carbon strategies (2017, methodology): “Return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) were used as a proxy for financial performance (FinPerf) like in similar studies (e.g. Bansal, 2005; Gallego- Alvarez et al., 2015; Hart and Ahuja, 1996).”
Capabilities, Proactive CSR and Financial Performance in SMEs: Empirical Evidence from an Australian Manufacturing Industry Sector (2011, methodology): “First, consistent with past research indicating that the size of a firm has a significant impact on the association between CSR and financial performance (e.g. Bansal, 2005; Moore 2001; Stanwick and Stanwick 1998), we controlled for firm size.”
Does Corporate Social Responsibility Lead to Superior Financial Performance? A Regression Discontinuity Approach (2015, background): “…is related to a large literature in institutional theory and stakeholder theory according to which companies may react to institutional pressure by implementing more CSR initiatives (e.g., Agle et al. 2008, Bansal 2005, Bansal and Roth 2000, Campbell 2007, Delmas and Toffel 2004, Freeman 1984,…”
Voluntary agreements to improve environmental quality: symbolic and substantive cooperation (2009, background): “This is consistent with the findings of Bansal (2005), who identifies the presence of media pressure to be associated with early disclosure of environmental management practices.”
How Does the Market Value Corporate Sustainability Performance? (2011, background): “This perspective suggests that firms will respond strategically to institutional norms and to changes in their social environment to gain or maintain legitimacy because they recognize that conforming will result in improved access to resources (Suchman 1995; Bansal 2005).”
An Institutional Theory perspective on sustainable practices across the dairy supply chain (2014, methodology): “Institutional Theory has been used extensively in studies exploring environmental management in organzations (e.g. Hoffman, 1997, 1999; Delmas, 2002; Bansal, 2005).”
Conceptualizing a “Sustainability Business Model” (2008, background): “Although there is a substantial body of literature on different frameworks and models of sustainability at a societal level (Robinson, 2004), understanding of sustainable business models and how sustainable development is operationalized in firms is weak (Bansal, 2005; Sharma, 2002).”
Green Innovation and Financial Performance (2013, background): “In fact, a firm that exhibits worthy environmental initiatives is more likely to acquire a positive ecological reputation (Christmann, 2004; Darnall, Jolley, &Ytterhus, 2007) and to benefit from premium pricing and increased sales due to greater social approval (Bansal, 2005).”
The Harm of Symbolic Actions and Green-Washing: Corporate Actions and Communications on Environmental Performance and Their Financial Implications (2012, background): “Furthermore, companies in visibly polluting industries are more likely to report information on their environmental responsibility, thereby increasing the likelihood that this research would generate a non-zero variable for environmental performance (Bansal 2005).”
