    Corporate sustainability and indigenous community engagement in the extractive industry
    (Oxford Butterworth-Heinemann, 2019-06-29) Brotherton, Marie-Christine; Heras-Saizarbitoria, Iñaki; Boiral, Olivier
    The objective of this paper is to explore the initiatives for community engagement with indigenous people implemented by extractive organizations and their possible alignment with the integrative framework of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. A qualitative study based on 33 semi-directed interviews with practitioners and experts in managing relationships with indigenous communities shows the interconnectedness of the requirements of these communities with the main priorities of the 2030 Agenda. Our findings shed more light on the complexity, uncertainties, and risks associated with collaborating with unconventional stakeholders who play an increasingly important role, for example attaining a social licence to operate for extractive activities. They also show the critical importance of issues that tend to be neglected in corporate sustainability and the need to align organizational commitments with global priorities in sustainable development objectives. Contributions to the literature and avenues for future research are described in the discussion.

    Nature connectedness and environmental management in natural resources companies : an exploratory study
    (Elsevier Science Ltd., 2018-09-24) Brotherton, Marie-Christine; Heras-Saizarbitoria, Iñaki; Boiral, Olivier
    The objective of this paper is to analyze the meaning, manifestations and practical implications of connectedness to nature in natural resources companies. This research is motivated by the lack of scholarly works aimed to analyze the organizational applications of the connectedness to nature concept. A qualitative and exploratory study based on semi-structured interviews with 50 respondents was conducted. The findings highlight the feeling of disconnection from natural ecosystems that permeates most organizations and the importance for employees to maintain contact with natural areas. For organizations, the benefits of connectedness to nature are essentially related to the increased awareness of environmental issues, adoption of green behaviors in the workplace, greater attachment to place, improved communication with local stakeholders, and employee well-being. Respondents also proposed various practices to improve connectedness to nature, particularly the sharing of managers' sense of affiliation with nature, involvement of employees in nature-related tasks, implementation of specific human resource management initiatives, and promotion of outdoor activities. The findings might benefit diverse stakeholders such as scholars, organizations, managers, and public policy makers.

    Corporate biodiversity management through certifiable standards
    (Wiley, 2017-12-19) Brotherton, Marie-Christine; Heras-Saizarbitoria, Iñaki; Boiral, Olivier
    This article analyzes the motivations, internalization challenges and outcomes of implementing certifiable standards for corporate biodiversity management. For this purpose, a qualitative study based on interviews with 39 environmental managers, auditors, consultants and other experts in the field was conducted. The findings show that the adoption of new standards for biodiversity management is essentially driven by the need to improve the social acceptability of activities that can have a significant impact on natural habitats. The possible benefits of certification, particularly in terms of stakeholder relationships, and the difficulty of measuring the intangible aspects of biodiversity issues are also discussed. The study contributes to the emerging literature on organizational biodiversity management and to the debates on the symbolic versus substantial adoption of certifiable environmental standards. Managerial implications for organizations interested in biodiversity management are also discussed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

    Improving corporate biodiversity management through employee involvement
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2019-01-10) Brotherton, Marie-Christine; Heras-Saizarbitoria, Iñaki; Boiral, Olivier
    This paper presents an empirical examination of the role of employee involvement in the internalization of corporate biodiversity management. A qualitative study in natural resource companies was conducted, based on semi-directive interviews with managers, consultants, and experts in this area. The findings show that employee involvement is essential to improve biodiversity practices in natural resource companies, which largely rely on organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment. The role of tacit knowledge, voluntary initiatives, and prevention of harmful behaviors in the workplace are highlighted. The main obstacles to the internalization of biodiversity issues include their complexity, the lack of corporate commitment, the externalization of initiatives, and the lack of training for employees. The contributions to the literature on corporate environmental management, internalization of new practices, and organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment are explained. Managerial implications and avenues for future research are also provided.
