Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between the performance of food retail chains in developed and emerging nations from 2011 to 2019. It used data from 80 food retail companies in 35 countries, employing panel data linear regression models. A strong correlation was observed between market share, operating activity, the economic context of the host country (GDP per capita and Gini index) and sustainable management practices. Financial and stock market indicators were influenced by operations and the economic environment, especially GDP per capita. The focus on sustainability had a positive impact on the financial health of the companies, with smaller stores in emerging nations achieving a higher return on investment compared to larger stores.
