  • 본 연구는 지속가능성보고서평가 시 지속가능한 기업을 어떻게 구분할 것인가에 대한 문제를 제기하고, 이에 대한 해결방안을 기업 지속가능가치에서 찾아보며, 이를 지속가능성보고서를 토대로 기업의 지속가능성 평가에 활용할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 지속가능가치는 기업이 지속가능경영을 위한 현재와 미래에 필요한 자원을 적절히 관리하고 있는가를 파악하기 위해 경제, 사회 그리고 생태적 영역에 걸친 성과를 평가하는 방법론이다. 기존의 지속가능성평가모델들이 기업이 생산활동을 통해 얼마나 많은 외부효과를 발생시켰는지를 평가하는 부하 지향적 방법이었다면 지속가능가치는 한정된 자원을 얼마나 효율적으로 사용하여 비교대상보다 더 많은 가치를 창출하였는가의 관점에서 지속가능경영 성과를 평가하는 가치 지향적 방법이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과로 제시된 지속가능보고서를 토대로 한 지속가능가치 평가는 지속가능성보고서의 질, 지속가능성보고서 내용의 충실성뿐만 아니라, 지속가능성보고서가 기술하고 있는 기업의 지속가능경영성과를 종합적으로 평가할 수 유용한 수단이 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • This study sought to examine the sustainability criteria found in the global sourcing practices of global fashion retailers. Sustainable supply chain management, with a particular focus on the sustainability criteria of global sourcing, was analyzed. This qualitative study was based on a focus group interview and corporate social responsibility (CSR) annual reports. Eight master categories, 18 middle categories, and 37 bottom categories were extracted. The key categories and their middle categories were as follows: (1) Social compliance (working conditions, employment, safety); (2) Environment concerns (environmental pollution management, eco-friendly production, supply chain environment); (3) Energy efficiency (energy saving program, store environment); (4) Consumer protection (restricted substances management, consumer product safety improvement); (5) Management system (code of conduct, triangle audit system); (6) Community social activities (local community service, voluntary activities, charitable activities); (7) External stakeholder engagement (media & non-governmental organization management, maintenance of relationship with local authority); (8) Brand protection (respect for companies' intellectual property). The findings of this study offer academically significant insights into the sustainability criteria that can be encountered by companies under diverse global sourcing scenarios, revealing that global sourcing by fashion retailers is not merely a means of reducing costs, but a way of generating new jobs and making a social contribution to developing countries. The study's findings also have practical significance, offering guidelines for general CSR activities in the global sourcing process.

  • Corporate reputation is a widely debated topic among academics and a crucial issue in the business world. However, previous research in this area has been scattered and fragmented, leaving room for further study, particularly in terms of reputation measurement methods. Factors such as sustainability reporting, governance attributes, and company characteristics have been linked to improved company reputation. However, there is limited research on the effects of these variables on the new methods of measuring reputation, especially in developing countries like Malaysia. Therefore, the current study developed a new measurement for reputation and aimed to examine the relationship between these variables and the new proxy of reputation. The current study collected secondary data from the company's annual report for two years period of study (i.e., 2018 and 2019) and employed content analysis. A period of two years was chosen and deemed ample to provide insightful findings of the effect of the variables associated with reputation disclosure. The results indicate that sustainability reporting, outside directors, company size, leverage, and profitability significantly impact corporate reputation. This finding suggests that Malaysian PLCs and other firms in developing countries must recognize sustainability reporting as part of their reputation management strategy that influences the company's reputation.

  • 'Sustainable Development' has become one of the most important concepts of the 21st century, and efforts are being made to actively apply this conception in various fields of social studies. Sustainability can be discussed in terms of economy, environment and society. In the case of social sustainability, a key motivation is the weakened bond within communities that is an unfortunate characteristic of modern society. The core of social sustainability is therefore in promoting 'social interaction and communication' through constructing communities and physical environments that support them. This study is based on the understanding that areal enlargement of physical environment doesn't guarantee the vitality of created community spaces. The purpose of this study is to deduce the design objectives and strategies of communal spaces in apartment complexes for social interaction and communication. Social interaction and communication can be divided into two aspects: between a complex and the local society, and within the complex itself. Nine design objectives are deduced from sixteen research reports published by public research institutions after 2000 and several design strategies are found through architectural analyses of influential examples based on 5 fundamental values of communal space planning.

  • The existing research on sustainability in the apparel industry provides no clear consensus on the definition of sustainability for the apparel brands and how sustainability of apparel brands as it is perceived by consumers can be measured. To fill this gap in research, the present study proposes and tests a confirmatory model of sustainability for apparel brands based on the three pillars of sustainability (i.e., economic, environmental, social sustainability) theorized in the Triple Bottom Line model. A survey of 754 U.S. consumers provided data for empirical testing. The results support the three-dimensional factor structure of sustainability for apparel brands and reveal that a second-order sustainability exerts a significant impact on both brand image and brand trust. The findings provide theoretical implications for researchers and practical managerial suggestions for marketers.

  • Purpose - Environmental issues, climatic changes, and greenhouse gases are problems to be solved at a global level. With an increased emphasis on the environmental and social responsibility of the management of companies, the manner in which companies approach quality-oriented culture and their individual sustainability management are being discussed as truly important issues to help them secure their competitiveness and growth strategies. This study proposes strategic directions to help manufacturers not only in expanding their competitive quality-oriented company culture but also in strengthening their sustainability management abilities. This study conducts a literature review and empirical research to examine how significantly the variables of a quality-oriented company culture, customer-centered management, and process-centered and supply chain management-centered cooperation affect sustainability management performance in relation to economic profitability, environmental integrity, and social responsibility. Research design, data, and methodology - To verify research models and hypotheses, the study examined 170 companies using a questionnaire survey conducted over six weeks, and involved the performance of data analysis on 146 samples. Questionnaire responses were calibrated based on a Likert scale. The study used the Smart PLS 2.0 program designed for PLS (partial least squares), an analysis instrument of SEM (structural equation modeling). The study then verified empirical research hypotheses working on reliability analysis, validity analysis, factorial analysis, and path analysis. Results - Among the nine hypotheses, four are accepted and the rest are rejected. A quality-oriented company culture focusing on customer-centered management significantly influenced the maintainability management performance of environmental integrity and social responsibility, while economic profitability was dismissed. A process-focused quality-oriented company culture was significantly concerned with economic profitability but not with environmental integrity or social responsibility. A supply-chain cooperative company culture had a significant effect on economic profitability but not on environmental integrity or social responsibility. Conclusion - This study proposes strategic directions to help manufacturers expand their competitive quality-oriented company culture as well as strengthen abilities with sustainability management. It conducts a literature review and empirical research to examine how significantly the variables of quality-oriented company culture, customer-centered management, and process-centered and supply chain management-centered cooperation affect sustainability management performance in relation to economic profitability, environmental integrity, and social responsibility. There are two main conclusions. First, companies should consider the need for social responsibility management and environmental transparent management-focused maintainability management as avenues to create new markets and business, thereby helping the companies secure a reputation for having a customer and process-centered quality-oriented company culture by creating shared values between supply chains and enabling win-win situations through cooperation. Second, we are marching towards a creative win-win era from a society of conflicts and ruptures. Companies should understand that social responsibility management and supply chain management (SCM)-focused cooperation are the foundations of sustainable development, as they try to improve their culture while pursuing both win-win relationships with interested parties and equity in various conflictive relations.

  • 본 논문은 사회혁신기업 (주)향기내는사람들의 사례를 통해 기업 내외부적 요인들이 지속가능성을 결정하는 관계를 고찰하였다. 이를 통하여 우리는 사회혁신기업의 지속가능성의 구성요소와 결정요소에 관한 다음과 같은 몇 가지 사실 및 경영 정책 함의를 도출할 수 있다. 우선 첫째, 기업가정신은 사회혁신기업의 생존과 성장을 위해 필수적이다. 기업가정신을 발휘하여 사회혁신 기업가는 상충관계에 있는 경제적 가치와 사회적 가치가 유기적으로 상호작용하여 새로운 시장기회를 창출할 수 있도록 효과적으로 관리해야 한다. 둘째, 일반 기업과 동일하게 사회혁신기업 역시 경쟁우위 자원이 중요하다. 기회를 활용하고 위험요소를 피하는데 유용한 자원, 타기업은 보유하지 못한 희소한 자원, 경쟁기업들이 모방하기 어려운 자원, 그리고 이들 자원을 충분히 활용할 수 있는 조직능력은 사회혁신기업의 경제적 목표를 달성하는데 필수적이다. 이렇게 달성된 경제적 목표는 사회혁신기업의 재정자립을 낳고, 사회적 목표를 균형적으로 모색할 수 있게 돕는다. 셋째, 신제품 및 서비스를 꾸준히 개발하고, 신시장을 개척하며, 시장의 기회를 민첩하게 포착하고, 능력을 갖춘 채 위험을 감수하는 기업가정신으로 무장한 사회혁신기업은 경쟁우위 자원을 충분히 활용할 수 있을 때 경제적 목표와 사회적 목표를 균형적으로 추구할 수 있다. 이 과정에서 정부나 지자체의 재정지원은 사회혁신기업의 지속가능성을 보장해주지 못한다. 또한 조직에 대한 비전 및 가치관 공유(개인-조직 적합성)는 조직몰입과 연계될 수 있을 때 비로소 사회혁신기업의 지속가능성을 보장해줄 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of perceived sustainability management fit of SPA brands on consumer purchase intention. A survey was conducted targeting women in their 20s and 30s from April 27th to May 6th 2013, and a total of 350 questionnaires were used in the final analysis. Frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, ANOVA, simple regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were carried out using SPSS ver 21.0. The results of this study are as follows. First, fit of all three areas- economic, ecological and social-of sustainability management activities have a significant impact on consumer perception on sustainability activities. Second, perceived sustainability activities by SPA brands are found to have a positive effect on brand attitude, brand trust and consumer satisfaction. Third, brand attitude and consumer satisfaction forged by perceived sustainability activities by SPA brands have a positive impact on consumers' purchase intention. Based on the result of this study, the following marketing implications can be suggested. First, SPA brands need to be more active in all three area of sustainability activities while coming up with measures for differentiated social sustainability activities. Second, SPA brands need to meet their primary obligation by providing consumers with quality products at a reasonable price. Third, SPA brands need to recognize the potential value of sustainability activities as a driver of a longstanding relationship with consumers as well as long-term profit and value creation, leading to a great financial performance.
