CSR, Sustainability Management and Institutional Isomorphism: Analysis of an International Survey’s Results
This article aims to provide an institutional analysis of convergence and divergence of corporate sustainability management practices observed in large companies in eleven OECD countries, with a particular focus on France. The analyzed data were extracted from the results of an international survey “International Corporate Sustainability Barometer (ICSB)” conducted in 2012. Results highlight the close link between the coercive isomorphism and adoption of a corporate sustainability strategy in the companies of the international sample. The French case reveals a specific type of coercive isomorphism.
