CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTANCY Inc.

The Path to a Sustainable Socially-Oriented Organizational Corporate Culture. Together, Let's Make a Difference

Corporate Sustainability Consultancy was established to address one of the most pressing challenges organizations face today: the impact of corporate sustainability and its influence on employee performance in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This course systematically explores corporate sustainability and its related concepts, including Sustainability, Sustainable Development, Corporate Social Responsibility, the Triple Bottom Line, and more. It thoroughly examines their impact on corporate expectations, particularly in terms of economic benefits and reputation, and how these factors relate to employee participation and engagement in sustainability initiatives. The Masterclass course guides organizations on their journey toward building a sustainable, socially-oriented corporate culture. As we continue to expand globally, we aim to empower organizations worldwide to integrate sustainability into their core operations and achieve measurable, long-term success.



Debating Corporate Sustainability and Its Relation to Responsibility

“People who take on such route of that a business has a social responsibility eliminating discrimination, avoiding pollution and whatever catchword it may be, are all modern-day crop reform where all, as mentioned before, triggered by a certain event. How can a business have responsibilities, when its essence is nothing but a separate entity? Only people have responsibility, (Friedman,1970).”

A Paradox Approach of the Business-as- Usual:

Employees are a Business Case for Corporate Sustainability.

If we clarify the association behind the undeniable confusion and lack of clear understanding of sustainable development, particularly its oxymoronic nature and its connection to corporate responsibility and sustainability—we reveal a paradoxical perspective. This perspective does not focus on normative arguments or empirical analysis but rather on the inherent tensions and trade-offs in reconciling business with society (Bansal & Song, 2017, p. 127). I strongly agree. However, when applying a corporate sustainability strategy within an organization, whether an institution, corporation, or SME—a paradox perspective suggests that contradictory, yet interrelated elements can coexist and persist over time (Bansal & Song, 2017, p. 129). If this holds true, then from a sustainable development perspective, management must establish a collective understanding of the necessary normative yet contradictory elements and values (social practice) and their impact on corporate expectations, as well as employee participation and engagement in Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. This understanding forms the foundation of a Business Case for Sustainability Development and Management of employees. Organizations must assess sustainability by addressing three key questions: What needs to be sustained? What needs to be developed? And for how long? Sustainability holds businesses accountable for global pollution, making the implementation of corporate sustainability more urgent than ever. Recognizing the paradox of sustainability, its relationship to socially oriented corporate practices, and its impact on employee perception and engagement, can enhance employees’ performance within a corporate sustainability strategy.

Challenging the Common Knowledge

Questioning the Relationship between Corporate Expectations and Employees' Performance

“Unfortunately, the large body of literature dealing with the connections, if any, between various aspects of corporate social performance or ethics, on one hand, and conventional financial and market performance indicators, on the other, does not translate easily into a stakeholder theory context. Whatever value the social/financial performance studies may have on their own merits, most of them do not include reliable indicators of the stakeholder management (i.e., the independent variables) side of the relationship” (Donaldson & Preston 1995, p. 78).

The Masterclass Course

Fundamental Strategies for Corporate Sustainability Development and Management

The Business Case For Corporate Sustainability: The Impact of Corporate Sustainability Development and Management, and their Effect on Corporate Expectations and Employees' Performance Revealed.

Our Key Message

Mitigating the inherent tension and trade-offs between aligning business activities with societal expectations.

We all can agree and conclude that, without a well-thought-out plan to address corporate sustainability issues, examining processes, offering alternatives, and providing recommendations, organizations risk remaining trapped in the same dilemma of facing negative societal impacts due to a "business-as-usual" mindset; because, as previously stated, discussing sustainable development is futile without acknowledging and emphasizing the interdependent relationship between corporate actions, and sustainability. 

In other words, if the leadership of institutions, corporations, and SMEs fails to prioritize and actively engage in regular discussions on CSR issues, it is unrealistic to expect others within the organizational hierarchy to value sustainability.

With such ever-lingering and growing dilemma facing organizations, we meticulously devised the following lesson, which presents a strategic approach that is both normative and holistic in its delivery, grounded in tactical consultative methodologies. 

Our calculated plan serves as a foundational protocol to ensure all employees and other stakeholders are motivated and ready to embrace a new mindset. This new way of thinking will encourage voluntary engagement, drive cost reduction, boost revenue, and enhance the organization’s reputation. Ultimately, this approach aims to foster a sustainable, socially responsible corporate culture that endures now and into the future. 

The course introduces the Intrinsic Theoretical Framework, a conceptual and practical approach that enables organizations to sustain Socially-Oriented Organizational Cultural Change Development & Management. This framework ensures that corporate expectations and employee performance remain aligned at an optimal level—both now and in the future.

The course explains the following:

  • How to

    strategically position any business, be it a corporation, SME, or institution, to readily face the inevitable and unforeseen challenges caused by the inherent tension of mitigating business operations and its impact and effect on societies, locally and globally

  • How to

    create a collective and collaborative human relation approach of desired cultural norms, where the adoption and implementation of new ways of thinking and living for the greater good is established, and alive in every part of the organization

  • How to

    achieve the desired corporate expectation of enhanced reputation/increased economic benefits and improved stakeholder relations, namely the employees' relations from a development and management perspective of the social, environmental, and economic societal success for now and for the future
