Abstract

A responsible business reflects the fundamental values of a society and is important for all enterprises. It can improve their economic, environmental, and social characteristics from a short- and long-term perspective through innovative products and services, new capabilities, and stakeholder involvement. This study aims to identify the common convergent factors of voluntary instruments in management systems to achieve sustainable business and competitive growth. There are several tools aimed at achieving sustainability and competitiveness, an important component of which is the subject of this study: the voluntary approach. To determine the key factors of this approach, we used the online questionnaire technique of data collection (n = 183). We also conducted exploratory analysis with factors estimated by the principal components and orthogonal rotation using the varimax method. Relevant driving forces are identified in the development of the business models of sustainability and competitiveness, including the integration of quality, environment and occupational safety and health management systems, the environmental profile of the organisation for economic and social affairs, voluntary reporting of environmental activities, and evaluation of environmental impacts. These factors make a significant contribution towards improving environmental sustainability while ensuring competitive business. The ability to move quickly and successfully to these business models is an important source of sustainable competitive advantage.
捷克企业为实现可持续性和竞争性增长而实施的自愿文书
负责任的企业反映了一个社会的基本价值观,对所有企业都很重要。它可以通过创新的产品和服务、新的能力和利益相关者的参与,从短期和长期的角度改善他们的经济、环境和社会特征。本研究旨在确定管理系统中实现可持续商业和竞争增长的自愿工具的共同趋同因素。有几种工具旨在实现可持续性和竞争力,其中一个重要组成部分是本研究的主题:自愿方法。为了确定这种方法的关键因素,我们使用了数据收集的在线问卷技术(n=183)。我们还使用方差最大法对主成分和正交旋转估计的因素进行了探索性分析。可持续性和竞争力商业模式的发展中确定了相关的驱动力,包括质量、环境和职业安全与健康管理系统的整合,经济和社会事务组织的环境概况,环境活动的自愿报告,以及环境影响的评估。这些因素在确保企业竞争力的同时,对提高环境可持续性做出了重大贡献。快速成功地转向这些商业模式的能力是可持续竞争优势的重要来源。
