We seek to add to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Development (SD) literature through the empirical study of Latin American firm membership in the United Nations Global Compact (GC) and Global Report Initiative (GRI) Within an institutional-based framework, we explore through three filters - commercial, state-signaling, and distinguished peers - the impact of normative and mimetic pressures associated with GC/GRI membership Our sample includes 207 public firms from six Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru) Our results suggest Latin American firms from countries with a greater European influence (normative pressure) arc twice as likely to be enrolled in the GC/GRI Additionally, we find that Latin American firms listed on the NYSE (mimetic pressure) are also twice as likely to sign up under the GC/GRI Hence, the normative and mimetic pillars of institutional theory are found to be significant factors for Latin American firms adopting sustainability initiatives
