Corporate sustainability momentum: Longitudinal analyses on sustainability measures and financial performance

To measure ongoing corporate sustainability improvements new measurements are required. Thus, we propose a new, dynamic variable, reflecting the progress in sustainability performance in a longitudinal setting. We hypothesize that there will be a positive relation between CSP and financial performance with this new approach. The project will develop transparent research steps that comprehensively capture ongoing CSP improvements. It will also establish causal links between companies' continuous CSP improvements and corporate financial performance.
