Abstract
Sustainability implementation in the corporate world is the new objective companies’ top management teams need to leverage in order to become pioneers of environmental, social, and financial business performances. This paper explores the role that top executives play in the context of environmental and financial sustainability implementation in the Dutch Fintech sector. Top management roles and values towards sustainability directly affect the successful implementation of CSR. By interviewing managers of two of the most influential companies in the Dutch Fintech sector, this study explores how top management can influence the implementation of sustainability across business operations. This research finds that top management’s values of benevolence, achievement, and power positively influence CSR implementation. Furthermore, it finds that top management’s role is manifested in the creation of long-term, comprehensive business strategies that clearly lead lower management towards financial or environmental goals. These findings are clearly evident in the specific cases of data center use and sustainable investments as two key areas of interest in the sustainability of Fintech companies. The paper shows that top management determines the success of CSR initiatives in these areas and across entire organizational structures.
