The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between green business ethics, green finance, and sustainable business performance, and to evaluate the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in this relationship. The impact of the damage inflicted on nature’s functioning order is being felt much more strongly today. In light of these realities, companies must emphasize sustainability principles not just out of financial concerns but as a result of corporate social responsibility. In this context, focusing on the role of corporate social responsibility in sustainable business performance is the main goal of this research. Quantitative research methods, specifically the cross-sectional survey method, were employed for data collection and analysis. For this purpose, a convenience sampling method was used to select 427 white-collar employees working in industries operating in Türkiye as the sample for this study. The data collected through surveys were analyzed using the AMOS 24 statistical program. The findings underscore that green business ethics and green finance have a significant impact on corporate social responsibility and sustainable business performance. Additionally, it was determined that corporate social responsibility plays an intermediary role in shaping sustainable business performance. These findings are expected to provide an important foundation that can guide both employees and managers in developing awareness about green policies and sustainability, emphasizing the importance of green policies in working life.
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility from Business Ethics Perspective
Social Science Research Network, 2011
Sustainability or sustainable development has become commonplace in the economic literature and become increasingly relevant to the academic literature and widely discussed by numerous of the researchers into social and environmental responsibility or corporate social responsibility (CSR), both from an economic and moral perspective. However, the thorough discussion of CSR under business ethics perspective in a broad view from the international or global context, to the organisational responses, and to individual attitudes does not exist in the current literature. This paper attempts to discover ethical responses to CSR from international organisations, companies, and individuals. Especially, each response is explained by different ethical theory.
Corporate Social Responsibility for a Sustainable Business
Journal of sustainable society, 2013
Over the years businesses have adopted new dimensions that included corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, service dominant logic and sustainable business. Earlier it was argued that the only obligation of an organization is to provide financial benefits to its stakeholders and neglected the societal well being part of responsibility of the organizations. The other very important aspect which was ever taken for granted is being given due importance is ecology. The notion of a 'business case' for corporate sustainability has increasingly been used by the corporate sector, environmental organizations and by many others to seek justification for sustainable strategies by the organizations. No business can survive longer by disintegrating itself from these practices. So it has become the need of the hour to understand these terms and incorporate them in business social culture, to be part of responsible corporate citizenship in today's business world. This article will study corporate social responsibility (CSR) from theoretical perspective with a focus on triple bottom line (TBL) in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. Triple bottom line will be a base in studying CSR for a sustainable business and the importance of TBL will be highlighted towards conducting sustainable businesses. The future of corporate businesses will be determined on the value that may be provided to customers by organizations.

The Greening of Corporate Ethics
There is increasing reason to believe that the world's financial crisis is inextricably linked to the environmental crisis, both because current corporate practices contribute to environmental degradation but also because global climate change threatens to impact upon the way in which business can continue to function profitably and sustainably. After summarizing some key reasons for moving beyond the traditional dichotomy between "environment" and "economy," the paper argues for a need to better integrate the fields of business ethics and environmental ethics. The final section of the paper presents some strategies for increased awareness and behavior modification within the corporate sector.

Emphasizing that ethical responsibilities of a business, is actually addressing sustainable development in all three dimensions: economic, ecological and social. The question of sustainability of business is well answered by the concept of Sustainable Development (SD), where the SD framework gives a new direction to the way Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was previously comprehended.

Environmental ethics for business sustainability
International Journal of Social Economics, 2011
The purpose of this paper is to derive operational principles from environmental ethics for business organizations to achieve sustainability. The paper uses principles of environmental ethics to redefine business sustainability in an ethically meaningful way. The paper analyses different levels on which business affects the natural environment. Individual biological creatures are affected by business via hunting, fishing, agriculture, animal testing, etc. Natural ecosystems are affected by business via mining, regulating rivers, building, polluting the air, water and land, etc. The Earth as a whole is affected by business via exterminating species, contributing to climate change, etc. Business has a natural, non‐reciprocal responsibility toward natural beings affected by its functioning. At the level of individual biological creatures, awareness‐based ethics is adequate for business. At the level of natural ecosystems, ecosystem ethics is relevant for business. At the level of the Earth as a whole, Gaian ethics applies to business. A business activity system can be considered acceptable if: its aggregate impact on animal welfare is non‐negative;, its aggregate impact on ecosystem health is non‐negative; and its aggregate impact on the living planet is non‐negative. By satisfying the above criteria, business can performs its duty: not to harm nature or allow others to come to harm.
