Over the last decade, scholars and policy makers have put under pressure businesses to engage
firms in activities related to sustainability at large (e.g. CSR, ESG, SDGs, etc.), increasing awareness
about the need to rethink the global economic system. This paradigm shift was driven by the
increasing attention paid by civil society to emerging themes, such as climate change, social
inequality, and gender gaps (Crutzen, 2006). In this sense, policy makers integrate with their
policies both financial and non-financial aspects to move from a linear toward a more
dynamic approach to sustainable and economic development (Bebbington & Unerman, 2020).
