• This pandemic offers great opportunities for firms to actively engage in
various CSR initiatives during the crisis, and potentially catalyse a new era
of CSR development in the long run.
• Urge academic communities to engage in rigorous research on the
following research questions.
• Although the immediate impact of Covid-19 pandemic seems to be evident, what
could be the long-term impact on CSR?
• What are the opportunities and challenges for CSR in the long run post-coronavirus?
• Will an outcome of this pandemic be an increased incorporation of social and
societal issues into our driving philosophies?
• Similarly, while Covid-19 drove sector, firm, and organizational innovation, research is
need to explore the drivers of effectiveness and to detail which changes will prove
beneficial in the long term.

actions on their websites.

Facing a global crisis-how sustainable business models helped firms
overcome COVID. Corporate Governance: The International Journal
of Business in Society.
• The purpose of this study is to analyse how implementation of corporate
social responsibility (CSR) policies following United Nations’ Global
Compact (UNGC) guidelines can contribute to firm’s performance during a
global crisis, such as the case of COVID-19.
• Energy firms operating in Spain and subscribing to UNGC were evaluated,
specifically those publicly listed in the IBEX35
• Findings show long-term CSR strategies and a strong commitment to
sustainable development contribute to firm’s overcoming periods of
economic crisis. In addition, considering the environmental impact of the
firms’ actions, transition to sustainable business and widening portfolio in
the case of energy firms proved to have a positive impact in overcoming a
hard context such as COVID-19.

characteristics affect the market reaction of Chinese listed companies
to the COVID-19 pandemic?. Emerging Markets Finance and
Trade, 56(10), 2231-2242.
• This paper investigates market reaction to the novel corona virus
(COVID‐19) pandemic. Using a sample of Chinese listed firms,
we find that market reaction to the COVID‐19 outbreak is more
intense in firms within the industries that are vulnerable to the
virus, and those with high institutional investors. Furthermore,
firms with larger scale, better profitability and growth
opportunity, higher combined leverage, and less fixed assets
experience less adverse impact of the COVID‐19 outbreak than
other firms.
