Source: Park, H., & Kim, G. Y. (2019). Climate change and corporate social responsibility: Evidence from Korean firms. Business Strategy and the Environment, 28(6), 1017-1030.
Reason for selecting: This source discusses the relationship between climate change and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Korean firms, which aligns with our topic on climate change and business.
Main ideas/themes:
- Korean firms are increasingly adopting CSR practices, particularly related to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
- CSR practices are more likely to be adopted by financially stronger firms and those in industries with greater environmental impact.
- CSR is seen as a way to enhance reputation and meet stakeholder expectations.
Points in common from other sources:
- Other sources also mention that CSR can improve reputation and stakeholder relations (Source 2).
- There is also evidence that firms with greater financial resources are more likely to adopt climate change mitigation practices (Source 3).
In my own words: The article discusses how Korean firms are increasingly adopting CSR practices related to climate change, which is influenced by their financial strength and environmental impact. CSR is viewed as a way to build positive reputation and meet stakeholder expectations.
