TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated literatures in corporate sustainability, stakeholder management, social marketing, corporate communication, and reputation management in order to build a new framework for achieving corporate sustainability.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to understand the interdependence of corporate reputation within the sphere of stakeholder management with the goal of achieving corporate sustainability. The paper investigates literatures in corporate sustainability, stakeholder management, social marketing, corporate communication, and reputation management in order to build a new framework. This study suggests that building and managing stakeholder relationships solidly can assist business organisations to become more sustainable, and solidifying a strong corporate reputation by utilising corporate communications, public relations, and social marketing as practices and as discipline can also contribute to corporate sustainability. This paper provides a new approach to link stakeholders and corporate reputation towards corporate sustainability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between stakeholder pressures and corporate environmental strategies based on a meta-analysis and found that internal pressure is the main driver of environmental strategies and that non-manufacturing firms could change their environmental strategies more easily than manufacturing firms.
Abstract: Stakeholder pressures and corporate environmental strategies continue to be important topics of corporate sustainability. Limited by sample size, there is a lack of general conclusions on which groups of stakeholder pressures are the main drivers of environmental strategies. Amassing a database of 58 empirical studies, the authors divided stakeholder pressures into four groups—internal, coercive, market, and social pressure—and explored the relationship between different pressures and environmental strategies by conducting a meta-analysis. The main result shows that internal pressure is the main driver of environmental strategies. Further empirical results show that stakeholder pressures could have a larger effect on corporate environmental strategies in developed countries and that non-manufacturing firms could change their environmental strategies more easily than manufacturing firms. The results provide the practical implication that a green industry transition is strongly needed in the manufacturing industry, especially for polluting industries, and that firms in polluting industries should implement environmental strategy changes in the future. This paper contributes to clarifying the relationship between stakeholder pressures and corporate environmental strategies based on a meta-analysis.

Abstract: Green Information Technology (IT) has become an imp ortant topic in IT management research and practice in the last years due to economic opportun ities and increasing pressure from stakeholders However, many IT organisations fail to manage their environmental efforts in an adequate manner since they neglect the strategic aspects of this to pic This paper reveals the strategic relevance of Green IT on the basis of a literature review that r efers to fundamental approaches of Strategic Management and Information Systems research and emp hasizes the necessity of aligning business, sustainability, and IT domain The argumentation is accentuated by a multiple-case study that analyses the Green IT implementation practices of f our companies on the basis of semi-structured interviews The findings of the cross-case analysis indicate that there is no consistent approach for aligning Green IT with corporate sustainability goa ls and business objectives so far To close this research gap, we conceptualise a Strategic Green IT Alignment Framework and identify four distinct Green IT strategies The suggested framework is sup posed to provide guidance for decision-makers in selecting an appropriate Green IT strategy that con tributes to the achievement of corporate sustainability targets and leverages competitivenes s
