ESG and Business’ Organisation: Evidence from Italy
摘要
The aim of this paper is to examine the impacts of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors on a business’ organisation in Italy. The carrying out of a business and the subsequent increase in production creates, first of all, positive effects. However, it is crucial to verify if a business should be sustainable. The findings show that over the last few years attention towards social and environmental sustainability has increased both in the economic field and in all aspects of daily life; this is both a reply to environmental disasters that occurred and keep happening and a consequence of Covid-19 which made clear that there is a need for a future based on a different social and economic system. A sustainable business affects the organisation of a company; sustainability and ESG factors should be both parts of a business’ organisation and its target. In addition, the findings of the research highlight that running a sustainable business requires a change in the planning of a company’s structure, which has been created since the setting up of the company itself, and the adoption of necessary measures to achieve the objective of the company.
