Abstract
AbstractDo cost leaders engage with sustainability practices or avoid them to save costs, and do differentiators implement those practices to attract the sympathy of the customers or not? How do shareholders of each strategy follower consider those practices? Answering these questions is the main purpose of this study. We find that while cost leadership is significantly and positively associated with environmental, social, and governance sustainability, differentiation is significantly and negatively associated with social and environmental sustainability but not with governance sustainability. While cost leaders' shareholders approve of social and governance sustainability, differentiators' shareholders disapprove of environmental, social, and governance sustainability.
