Purpose

This study aims to propose a framework to drive organizations, and particularly multinational enterprises, to understand and internalize a sustainable mindset for implementing efficient and effective corporate sustainability initiatives and helping them achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Design/methodology/approach

The framework is based on the bidirectional iterative process of the flexible pattern matching methodology. The literature on ecocentric management was examined from top to bottom in its dialogue with corporate sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The bottom-up phase was based on highly visible deviant cases of companies that were significantly recognized for their CSR or for their sustainability programs but became well-known examples of unsustainability. Additionally, an illustrative case was analyzed to examine the mindset in practice.

Findings

The study offers a framework based on six constructs that were identified in ecocentric management literature. It translates the ecocentric management mindset framework into behaviors for organizations that want to conduct efficient sustainable programs that help them achieve the SDGs.

Originality/value

The proposed new framework highlights the conceptual pillars of ecocentric management, and offers practical and theoretical perspectives on how sustainability can be better addressed at the corporate level, and help achieve the SDGs.

以生态为中心的管理理念：企业可持续发展的框架

目的

本研究旨在提出一个框架，以推动组织，尤其是跨国企业理解和内化可持续思维方式，以实施高效和有效的企业可持续发展计划，并帮助他们实现可持续发展目标 (SDG)。

设计/方法/方法

该框架基于灵活模式匹配方法的双向迭代过程。在与企业可持续性和企业社会责任 (CSR) 的对话中，从上到下审查了有关生态中心管理的文献。自下而上的阶段是基于那些因其企业社会责任或可持续发展计划而获得显着认可但成为不可持续发展的众所周知的例子的公司的异常案例。此外，还分析了一个说明性案例，以检验实践中的心态。

发现

该研究提供了一个基于生态中心管理文献中确定的六个结构的框架。它将以生态为中心的管理思维框架转化为组织的行为，这些组织希望实施有效的可持续计划，帮助他们实现可持续发展目标。

原创性/价值

拟议的新框架突出了生态中心管理的概念支柱，并就如何在企业层面更好地解决可持续性问题并帮助实现可持续发展目标提供了实践和理论观点。
