Purpose - This study carried out an empirical study of the impact of sustainability - which has been gaining attention as challenges are arising in supply chains based on existing trade networks due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - on SCM performance and financial performance of Korean SMEs. The study seeks to propose a measurement model to enhance the SCM performance and financial performance of Korean SMEs and to identify the relationship between sustainability, SCM performance and financial performance to suggest implications to SMEs, governments, and relevant organizations. Design/methodology - Our Analysis established hypotheses that economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, and other factors related to sustainability have a positive impact on SCM performance and financial performance as well as SCM performance has a positive impact on financial performance, making empirical validations by utilizing Structural Equation Modeling based on data collected through survey from Korean SMEs. Findings - According to an empirical study, although environmental sustainability and economic sustainability among factors of sustainability had a positive influence on SCM performance, social sustainability did not have a statistically significant influence. Furthermore, it was learned that only economic sustainability had a positive influence on financial performance while SCM performance has a positive influence on financial performance. Originality/value - This empirical study explored the relationship between SCM performance and financial performance of Korean SMEs with a high tendency to depend on specific supply chains when the international trade network is in confusion and/or the global supply chain has collapsed. If Korean SMEs allocate management resources to the factors deducted from this study, they would be able to build more efficient supply chains and improve financial performance to improve sustainability.

This research is carried out to investigate the relationship between sustainability practices and performance in a financial sense for Malaysian Oil and Gas sector. Objectives include to study the state of sustainability disclosure among Malaysian oil and gas companies, to understand if companies that practiced sustainability had better performances to their financial bottom-line and to conduct a data analysis to understand the relationship between Environmental, social and governance performance [represented by the acronym ACSI] and financial performance. Sustainability performance is measured using ACSI checklist, which is an adaptation of the GRI 3.0 by Global reporting initiative while financial performance was measured on financial and profitability parameters namely EBITDA, EPS and PE ratio. Secondary data sources are used which were then converted into a rating scale to develop quantitative data. SPSS 21 is used for the analysis. The result shows that the majority of oil and gas companies in Malaysia had poor performance in terms of sustainability disclosure. On all three chosen profitability parameters, the companies that practiced sustainability were found to perform better than their counterparts that did not. Strong and significant relationship exists between sustainability practices and better financial performance.

The paper examines the impacts of the various sustainability dimensions on the financial performance of commercial banks in three Arab countries. Three dimensions have been considered as constitutive of the term sustainable development (social, economic, and environmental). The relationship between the sustainability dimensions of companies and accounting indicators was analyzed. The main hypothesis posits that the dimensions of sustainability do not have a significant and positive effect on the financial performance of the commercial banks. The study population consisted of commercial banks operating in three Arab countries (Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Jordan); the period of the study is from 2007 to 2018. The data were collected from the financial reports and sustainability reports of each bank through the Internet. The overall results of the study showed a moderately positive relationship between all sustainability dimensions and the banks' financial performance. The main contribution of the research is to study the dimensions of sustainability reports as contained in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI-G4) and their impacts on the financial performance of commercial banks. Thus, this research will contribute to increasing the interest of the banks in sustainable development in a context where this research in Arab countries is scarce.

본 연구는 공적연금의 지속가능성과 관련하여 비교연구를 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 공적연금의 지속가능성과 관련한 주류적인 시각은 재정적 지속가능성을 전제로 하고 있는 반면, 본래의 목적인 노후 소득보장성은 간과하여 왔다. 공적연금의 지속가능성은 재정적 지속가능성 뿐만 아니라 인구구조, 노동생산성, 산업구조, 근로세대의 생애주기, 공적연금에 대한 정부지출, 경제성장, 사회적 합의 등과 같은 다양한 요인들에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제의식 하에 한국을 포함한 44개국들을 대상으로 퍼지셋 질적비교연구를 수행하였다. 분석결과 한국은 단년도의 재정적 지속가능성은 높았지만 사회적 협의 및 공적연금 운용과 관련한 통합성이 상대적으로 낮았으며, 보장정도와 다른 연금체제와의 연계 등과 같은 적절성 역시 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 보다 폭넓은 공적연금의 지속가능성은 재정적인 지속가능성 뿐만 아니라 적절성, 통합성 또한 중시되어야 할 것이다.

과거와는 다르게 금리가 낮아지고, 지식이 보편화되는 등 금융서비스 기업의 CSR 활동과 관련된 환경이 변화하였으며, 글로벌 경제 불안, 규제 증가, 신기술에 따른 영업방식이 노출되는 등 금융서비스 기업의 리스크 관리를 위한 환경이 변화하였다. 본 연구는 금융서비스 기업 종사자를 대상으로 금융서비스 기업의 CSR 활동과 리스크 관리가 지속가능성에 미치는 영향과 기업 이미지의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 금융서비스기업의 CSR의 법적 책임과 재해리스크 및 전략리스크에 대한 관리는 지속가능성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, CSR의 윤리적 책임, 재량적 책임, 운영리스크 및 재무리스크에 대한 관리는 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, CSR의 법적 책임, 재량적 책임, 재해리스크에 대한 관리가 기업 이미지와 지속가능성 사이에서 매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 금융서비스 기업은 CSR의 법적 책임과 재해리스크에 대한 관리에 집중하여 경영할 때 기업의 이미지가 좋아지며 지속가능성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Though their activities, companies have an impact on environmental problems and nature conservation. The accounting sector can play a role in environmental conservation efforts related to environmental costs, and the implemention of the Corporate Sustainability Management System (CSMS) could be a key factor that can improve the company's financial performance. This study aims to determine how green accounting through the application of CSMS can improve the financial performance of manufacturing companies in Indonesia, a developing country. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, while the research sample consisted of 38 companies that had followed PROPER and were indexed on the IDX. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method known as the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The results of this study indicate that manufacturing companies in Indonesia are able to implement green accounting by allocating appropriate environmental costs by earmarking a portion to carry CSMS implementation so as to improve financial performance. People in Indonesia consider that manufacturing companies that have good company rankings in the evaluation program for company performance ratings in environmental management run by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment are in a position to generate customer loyalty, especially in financial performance.
