Abstract

With growing global environmental and social challenges, corporations increasingly face stakeholder demands to legitimize their actions. To demonstrate that they comply with social norms and retain legitimacy, companies communicate about their corporate responsibility (CR) initiatives and programs. In this context, it is common to articulate visions rather than reflect the organization’s actual behavior, a phenomenon described as aspirational talk.
