Social corporate responsibility, Environmental sustainability performance, Environmental strategyAbstract
Demand for environmental sustainability reminds organization or business to restrategize to achieve competitive advantage in the dynamic global environment. Importantly, building Environmental Sustainability Performance (ESP) directs organizations to design Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as an effective environmental strategy in handling the negative effect on the environment because of the impact of organization or industry operation. This study has the objective to identify how CRS drives ESP in the current dynamic environment. This study was conducted by adopting the literature review method. Furthermore, the result of the study found that environmental sustainability policies are compulsory for organization to obtain the highest ESP. Organization or business can empower CRS by allocating the internal and external construct. The findings direct organizations or businesses to design and practice CSR as a strategy for the highest achievement of ESP.
