Sustainable Certification for Future Generations
研究了美国281家酒庄的数据，发现酒庄主有意将酒庄传给子女的家族纽带，与酒庄采用可持续认证的做法相关。
Business sustainability has been defined as meeting current needs while providing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. However, few firms invest in practices geared at sustainability. In this article, we investigate how family ties to future generations via the intention of transgenerational succession can be associated with the adoption of sustainable practices. Using data from 281 wineries in the United States collected through a survey questionnaire, we show that ties to future generations, measured as the intention of the winery owner to pass down the winery to their children, are associated with the adoption of sustainable certification.
