Sažetak
here is a call for firms in general and banks in particular to contribute to the generation of positive impacts (social, economic
and environmental), paired with an increasing relevance for banks
to communicate to their stakeholders the positive contributions
they generate and their adherence to Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) principles, for example, through recognized
certifications of their positive impact generation. Subsequently, in
order to contribute to knowledge of banks’ choices for generating
a positive impact, the research question driving this research is:
“What are the dimensions of impact (community, governance,
workers, environment and customers) and/or their combinations
and the degree of focus on each one which are necessary or sufficient for banks to achieve (or not) recognition of their high
impact generation?” To answer this question, a sample of bank
entities (n ¼ 38) in the B Corp database is analyzed with fsQCA.
Results show six combinations of focus on different impact
dimensions that are sufficient for banks to achieve a high impact
score, with the focus on the corporate governance dimension
being the most prevalent among them. In addition, four combinations of scarce focus on different impact dimensions were sufficient for not achieving a high impact score, with the customers
dimension being the most prevalent among them.
