profitable paths: corporate sustainability strategies

Corporate sustainability (CS) practices have become a popular field of research in the last few decades (Buyukazkan & Karabulut, 2018). The concepts of sustainability evolved and discussed in various international platforms at International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 1969, United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972, World Conservation Strategy in 1980, and United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio in 1992 (Kusakci, 2018). Buyukazkan and Karabulut (2018) stated that CS is a key topic among academics, regulators, and business managers through the emergence of recent technological and social change events and has led to the realization of environmental deterioration and the need for continuous economic development. Although, the strategic knowledge of creating a competitive advantage (CA) through CS strategies and processes was still unidentified.
