Climate change is an immense challenge for businesses. Lately, the results of the burgeoning nexus between organisational culture and corporate climate change performance and the latter's links with business performance have remained elusive especially in developing countries such as Malaysia due to the lack of empirical research. Therefore, this study investigates the antecedents and outcomes of corporate climate change performance among Malaysian businesses. Results reveal the presence of a positive relationship between organisational culture and corporate climate change performance as well as the latter's links with business performance. With that said, to reap the superior benefits of corporate climate change practices, this study emphasises the urgency for Malaysian organisations to comprehend their role on climate change performance before even embracing and adopting these practices to elevate the Malaysian economy and gain competitive advantages over other ASEAN countries.

This study investigates the impact of corporate governance (CG) (board size, CEO duality, women on board, director experience and board independence) on sustainability disclosure (SD) and the moderating role of a risk management committee (RMC) in the relationship between CG and SD. As the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance (MCCG) strongly suggests to all publicly listed companies in Bursa Malaysia that they have a RMC to achieve corporate excellence. This study utilised a cross-sectional research design whereby the data was collected from the 2016 annual reports of 120 companies. The results indicate that there is empirical evidence that board size and board independence does have impact on SD while CEO duality, women on boards and director experience do not have any influence. Furthermore, this study fails to show evidence of a moderating role of RMC. The findings may guide the relevant government agencies such Bursa Malaysia, the Securities Commission Malaysia and others in developing appropriate plans, best practices and regulations for business environments.

In our dynamic era, observing the social responsibility has become an essence for each organisation. In addition, some researchers believe that observing social responsibility by the corporations is one of the perquisites of gaining profits, since today customers are very sensitive to ethical issues. The current study aims to examine a conceptual model relating to the association between the transformational leadership style and social responsibility of the employees in Sarmayeh Bank. This organisation has 400 employees and our sample size is 196. Second generation statistical tools are utilised for data analysis. Based upon the research findings, all four dimensions of transformational leadership style have significant and positive impact 0n employees' CSR activities. This study reveals the importance of the relationship between leadership style and employees' social responsibility; meanwhile, using this research's results, managers will be able to formulate suitable strategies for developing social responsibility by acquiring a dynamic approach to their leadership style.

Banking is a pivot in providing the right trajectory to sustainable development actions. This paper looks at issues pertaining to consolidation activity in the Indian banking industry and tests the level of sustainable development adaptation of Indian banking industry. By rating the adaptation of banks towards SD practices. The paper also considers how far these institutions have declared their actions in terms of national and international SD norms for the banking sector. For the purpose of research, information was derived from the sustainability reports, business responsibility reports, annual reports and official websites of the banking institutions. The model adopted for the study is the sustainable banking model originally proposed by Jeucken (2001). The study was conducted on all 27 public sector banks in India for the period ended March 31, 2016. The results of the study show that none of the banks lie in the sustainable typology under the higher echelons of the model. The study indicates that the public sector banking industry in India primarily lies in the defensive and preventive banking stage, signifying that the banks merely follows the adoption of the regulatory norms.

The present paper is the first ever attempt that studies the transition of CSR disclosure practices in India from the voluntary to the mandatory regime. The study compares the CSR practices of Indian companies during the years 2013-2014 and 2015-2016; the former representing the voluntary regime of CSR while the latter representing its mandatory regime. Based on the CSR index given by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, the paper uses content analysis to collect the data on CSR parameters. The results show that the extent of CSR reporting has significantly gone up over the two points of time, thus supporting the institutional theory of CSR, evident also from the fact that even the expenditure incurred by companies in two different environmental conditions is appreciatively enhanced. The paper makes a plea to emphasise that there is greater need of stringent penalties for those non-implementers who do not adhere to the practice of CSR.

Sustainability is "meeting the needs and demands of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their requirements" [Burton, (1987), p.8] Sustainable development requires that organisations' social, environmental, well-being, and economic factors are managed in balance and from short and long-term as well as external and internal perspectives organisations have been advised to yoke sustainability practice to virtually every facet of an organisation's strategic management process, including human resource management as a functional level organisational strategic unit In recent years, human resource management (HRM) has been highlighted as a key agent with which to advance the firm because it is a central internal consultant for all matters of human capital management Thusly positioned, HRM can play a critical role in engendering employee sustainability practices. The purpose of this paper is to flesh out a key, core role for HRM as 'keeper of the fire' of an employee sustainability mindset Essentials of mindset are first developed, then the sustainability mindset and its integration into HRM and employee practices is explored Finally, critical concerns and future directions for sustainable HRM practice are examined.

Sustainability as a strategy has been incorporated in decision-making process at General Motors - an automotive manufacturing company. It has helped General Motors to overcome financial crisis. In today's environment, incorporation of sustainability factors particularly in supply chain management is critically important when governments all over the world are working to arrest climate change and reduce emission levels. Therefore, sustainability incorporation at an organisational level is a way forward. Case study was undertaken via a questionnaire to collect and evaluate the decision criteria from the middle and top level executives of General Motors. The authors also attempted to examine sustainability reports of the General Motors formulated using GRI guidelines. Study concludes that getting sustainability incorporated into DNA of a company requires top management commitment and is associated with organisations where there is history of societal, community work and responsible business practices. It helped General Motors to write off debt and come out of bankruptcy.

The social, economic, cultural, ecological and political transformations are essential factors of sustainable development and studies have shown that higher education is one of the important sources to bring required sustainable changes across the globe. This paper has tried to identify the homogenous groups of academicians, with similar viewpoints, and to know their opinion about the given variables that a higher education institute may adopt to promote sustainable change in society. The research was descriptive in nature and a data of 168 respondents was finally incorporated for analysis. Data was collected from faculty members of various management and engineering institutes in India. Cluster analysis, chi square test and one way ANOVA using Tukey's post hoc test for equal variance assumed was used for data analysis and hypotheses testing. 16 variables developed and used by Forum for the Future (2003) were used to measure the academicians' opinions. Three clusters were identified with different perspective in which first cluster is very optimistic and support all variables, second is with a very conservative approach and third cluster is with a futuristic approach.
