Abstract

This paper aims to forecast the stock price and analyze the return volatility of India’s top three socially responsible companies. This study used ARIMA and GARCH models to forecast the stock price and analyze return volatility. For the analysis, the required time series data are collected from Yahoo Finance from 01-08-2012 to 29-07-2022 of the companies’ Monthly and daily closing stock prices. The socially responsible companies are selected based on India’s sustainability indices. The findings of the study show that the ARIMA (9,1,9) model for HDFC Ltd, ARIMA (10,1,7) for Reliance Industries Ltd, and ARIMA (2,1,2) are suitable models to forecast the stock price. Also, the study’s findings forecasted stock prices from August 2022 to July 2023. The forecasted stock price for July 2023 of HDFC Ltd is INR 2,613.78, Reliance industries Ltd is INR 3,073.75, and ICICI Bank Ltd is INR 857.73. Reliance Industries Ltd (σ2t = 0.9270586) is less volatile, and HDFC Ltd (σ2t = 0.9665041) is more volatile among the three companies, ICICI Bank Ltd (σ2t = 0.9507527) is the second high volatile company. The present study is limited to the top three companies that were selected from the three sustainability indices of BSE. The study is also limited to analysis of past volatility of stock price returns.

Abstract

The object of this article is to present a concise study of the state of scientific literature regarding the relationship between the Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) factors and the financial performance at a company-based level, taking into account the sustainable paradigm. According to scientific literature, we expect that the more socially responsible companies are interested in the well-being of the stakeholders (customers, employees, members of the supply chain, and the community) as much as in that of their shareholders.

Abstract

Even though companies’ valuation techniques have evolved and have been developed into more sophisticated methods, there is still a big dilemma in the investing world about finding the price of a company. Our research focus on finding the price for a company’s stock by using ethical principles in addition to economical foundation. This paper covers the merger of economic, financial, and ethical factors included in the model and resulting in an intrinsic price using a modified discount cash flow (MDCF) method. Presentation of the model’s results were discussed to compare the MDCF stock value to the actual market price. Our inference shows that incorporating ethical principles, like using real economy factors instead of interest rate and using paid taxes in a valuation model can show a better correlation with stock prices compared to regular DCF model prices for the chosen companies. Such model can be developed as a response to investors’ choice for ethical strategies for stocks selection strategies as well as assets valuation.

Abstract

Las naciones se han visto preocupadas por el futuro de la humanidad y el medio ambiente, producto del desgaste de recursos de manera irracional. Por ello buscan generar alianzas e impulsar los países más rezagados y así fortalecer la calidad de vida, por lo cual se conforma la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), donde se establecen diecisiete objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS), los cuales van enfocados en reconocer la lucha en contra de la pobreza, el cuidado del planeta y la disminución de las desigualdades (Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible, s. f.). En la actualidad la importancia del desarrollo sostenible de los negocios y la permanencia en el mercado está totalmente enlazado al cumplimiento de los 17 objetivos del desarrollo sostenible, donde las empresas tendrán que buscar un engranaje con la solución de los problemas ambientales, sociales y económicos que impactan en sus procesos productivos. Por esta razón mi interés y elección del tema ya que el mundo entero se encuentra con grandes retos en la implementación de estrategias para lograr aportes significativos al cumplimiento de dichos objetivos.

Невід’ємною частиною розвитку бізнесу українських компаній стає концепція соціальної відповідальності, в основі якої лежить врахування інтересів суспільства і відповідальне ставлення до внутрішніх та зовнішніх стейкхолдерів і навколишнього середовища в усіх аспектах господарювання. Світовий досвід сформував критерії, відповідність яким дозволяє визначити компанію як соціально відповідальну. До них належать: добросовісна сплата податків; виконання вимог міжнародного, державного, регіонального законодавства; виробництво та реалізація якісної продукції; реалізація корпоративних програм з підвищення кваліфікації, охорони здоров’я, морального стимулювання працівників; реалізація благодійних і спонсорських проектів; захист екології та ін.

Abstract

Every year Corporate Responsibility Magazine selects and ranks 100 companies on the basis of their corporate social responsibility. This study investigates the stock performance of socially responsible companies in the U.S. The monthly stock returns for these companies are analyzed and compared with the market performance, with the S&P 500 index designated as a proxy for the market. The empirical evidence suggests that these 100 companies outperform the market in their monthly stock returns. We also narrow down the number of companies selected to the top 75, 50, 25, and 10 firms. As we narrow down the companies selected, the difference between their returns and the market returns also narrows. In other words, a portfolio that includes all top 100 companies provides the best stock performance. We extend the analysis to long-term annual stock performance. We find that these socially responsible companies′ annual returns are higher than the market returns for up to seven years after they are listed. We also conduct the same analysis on the top 75, 50, 25, and 10 firms, respectively. Similarly, the larger the number of these top 100 companies, the greater the tendency to generate higher annual returns. We suspect that because the difference between the socially responsible companies′ average returns and the market returns is not dramatic, with a bigger population and thus a larger sample size, the difference becomes more significant. However, in practice, transaction costs must be considered. This study is limited in that it does not consider transaction costs. Nevertheless, we hope to shed some light on the issue of socially responsible companies′ stock performance to encourage companies to start thinking about the importance of corporate social responsibility.

The methodology used was bibliographic reviews and descriptive, exploratory and explanatory research using the survey as a tool.

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the trends in present society that will have the most important influence in shaping future jobs, with an emphasis on issues related to sustainable development and an information society. We point out that based on the requirements of educated end-users, companies will have to follow the principles of sustainable development and social responsibility. In future, due to technical development, natural resources, environmental issues and demographical trends in the developed western world, the most attractive jobs will be in high technology, health and medical care, as well as the pleasure and free time industry. The most important sectors will be informatics and telecommunication, logistics, safety, healthcare and life-long education. V članku obravnavamo trende, ki imajo v sodobni družbi najpomembnejši vpliv na razvoj poklicev v prihodnosti, s poudarkom na vsebinah, povezanih s trajnostnim razvojem in informacijsko družbo. Ugotavljamo, da bodo zaradi zahtev osveščenih končnih uporabnikov podjetja pri svojem poslovanju prisiljena upoštevati načela trajnostnega razvoja in družbene odgovorno­sti, v prihodnosti pa bodo zaradi napredka tehnologije, usihanja razpoložljivih naravnih virov, okoljskih zahtev in demografskih trendov v razvitem zahodnem svetu, najbolj iskani poklici v visoki tehnologiji, negi in zdravstvu ter zabavni industriji. Pomembni sektorji v gospodarstvu pa bodo informatika in telekomunikacije, logistika, varnost in udobje, zdravstvo in izobraževanje.
