ESG: new concept for old problems

Abstract

A socially responsible business must base its actions on ethical management and consider issues such as the quality of life of its employees, the relationship with stakeholders, and the reduction of negative impacts of operational activities on the community and the environment. [...]our society no longer depends only on the government but also on businesses that work well and meet their needs, ranging from job creation, equitable growth, protection of natural resources, and defense of consumer interests. According to the authors, if strategically implemented, CE can play a prominent role in the agendas of emerging and developing countries, encouraging collaboration and stakeholder engagement. In "Construction and validation of a corruption perception scale at the citizen level", Kelmara Mendes Vieira, Monize Sámara Visentini, and Ricardo Teixeira Cunha propose and validate a Corruption Perception Scale (CPS), composed of five individual-level dimensions (knowledge, behavior, reflexes, control, and attitude), which position the citizen as the protagonist in the analysis of the phenomenon.
