Abstract

The growing interest in sustainability affect firms and their business models. Sus-tainable business models define the way in which a firm creates shared value by promoting economic, social and environmental interests. The objective of this paper is to understand if sustainable business models - com-bined with a proper accounting system - are able to initiate effective reactions to shock moments. The authors carried out this study by analyzing Generale Conserve, particularly its brand ASdoMAR, a firm specializing in canned foods. This case study is interest-ing because Generale Conserve places particular attention on both environmental sustainability and social development. The authors derived data from semi-structured interviews in combination with documental analyses. Results highlight that being sustainable can foster the ability to react to shock moments by promot-ing organizational resilience. Results also aim to suggest an abstract framework whereby one can explore the relationship between the type of sustainable strategy, the accounting system adopted and organizational resilience.
