Публікація CSR in the construction industry: a critical review of conceptual and methodological frameworks(Національний технічний університет "Харківський політехнічний інститут", 2024-02-14) Nashchekina, O. M.; Tymoshenkov, Ihor Vladyslavovych; Ovsepіan, RuzanaThe construction industry plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of any society. At the same time, the industry produces adverse social and environmental effects, which makes the adoption ofcorporate social responsibility (CSR) by construction companies especially relevant. For CSR management and research purposes, the abstract concept of CSR should be described in a structured and specific way, using certain conceptual and methodological frameworks. The goal of this article is to provide a critical review of the CSR frameworks used in academic literature on CSR in the construction industry and in CSR-related standards. We discuss CSR in terms of the industry-specific material topics proposedin the SASB standards. In particular, we show the importance of life cycle analysis for the construction industry,taking into account the nature of its products. We also show that the CSR of construction companies extends to the environmental impact not only of their own production activities but also of their construction products(buildings, infrastructure objects). We demonstrate that the LEED rating and certification system provides a comprehensive framework for such an important aspect of CSR as green building. In the academic and business literature, broad dimensions of CSR are often defined using the corporate sustainability and ESG concepts, and then narrower, specific topics are identified within each for those dimensions. We summarize such specific topics along economic, social, environmental, and governance dimensions. An alternative approach to defining the dimensions of CSR is through identifying the interests of stakeholders. The most common groups of stakeholders of construction companies referred to in the literature are shareholders, employees, customers, local communities, suppliers and partners, government, competitors, environment. CSR in the construction industry is shaped by external factors, which we categorize into mandatory rules, social pressures, the CSR infrastructure, market pressures, and technological factors. We introduce the CSR infrastructure as a separate external factor because of its scope and role in promoting CSR and removing barriers to its adoption. We stress the role of technological innovations and green building practices in the CSR implementation in the construction industry. The internal factors that stimulate or impede the adoption CSR by a construction company include the company’s values, vision, culture, strategies and the leadership. We emphasize the importance for the construction industry to use a holistic approach to CSR, considering the impacts within the entire value chainПублікація Sustainable Behavior in International Business: Corporate Social Responsibility for Mimicry or for Business Value?(ФОП Лібуркіна Л. М., 2021) Zubkova, Alina Boleslavivna; Makarenko, Anastasiya B.; Misiunia, Ruslan M.; Maihurova, Daria S.; Vodiakhina, Margaryta O.; Ihnatova, Anastasiia A.The paper is aimed at studying different pillars for the development of long-term and short-term strategies in the field of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. The paper underlines the key differences between the concepts of sustainable development, corporate social responsibility, and ecological, social, and corporate governance. The study aims to highlight the key differences between sustainable behavior and mimicry, i.e. masking the results of companies' activity under the global or local trends in corporate social responsibility. The article focuses on studying key systems for measuring the sustainable development level. Therefore, the results of the world's leading companies have been analyzed according to the main ratings of the sustainable development level. The paper presents the empirical study of the activities of the leading Ukrainian companies in sustainable development, compares their results with those of less successful companies, examines the general situation in Ukraine. Despite the relatively high sustainable development level of the leading players in the Ukrainian market, the companies that had a lower position in the sustainability ranking got lower scores by the key components of evaluating the sustainability level. The research emphasizes the complexity of measuring the sustainable development level of enterprises, and also proposes an integrated system for evaluating the sustainable development level of enterprise, based on a combined list of components used by different analytical companies. The expediency of a more detailed monitoring of the Ukrainian companies’ activity, aiming at detecting and counteracting mimicry, is substantiated. The paper proves the necessity to develop a comprehensive measurement system for determining the sustainable development level, which will provide the most accurate evaluation and recommendations for business development.
