abstract = {There is a substantial body of theoretical evidence and a wide variety of recommendations
from multilateral agencies on the importance of develop partnerships to achieve sustainability
but not all partnerships could be equally effective. The purpose of this study is to
establish which characteristics of partnerships could be related to greater improvements in
firms' sustainability. To achieve this goal, we based on the resource-based view, to
emphasize the importance of expanding firm resources and capabilities through strategic
partnerships. The longitudinal panel data used includes information from sustainability
reports published by Spanish listed firms between 2016 and 2019. We find evidence that
greater diversity referring to social sectors involved and longer duration partnerships
improve sustainability measures, but only in responsive firms (environmentally pollutants).
By contrast, in nonresponsive firms, diversity and longer-tenure partnerships implied less
improvement. Finally, we analyze the implications of these results to build effective
partnerships and encourage sustainability.},
