First, credit where credit is due: let us start by congratulating the winners of the 2021 BEER Best Paper Award! For this year's process, we decided to introduce a public vote on the Best Paper nominees selected by our Associate Editors. The public voting procedure turned out to be very popular, with more than 1500 votes received within a four-week period. The winners are Escadas et al. (2019) with their paper titled “Why bad feelings predict good behaviours: The role of positive and negative anticipated emotions on consumer ethical decision making.” The paper examines the impact of positive and negative anticipated emotions in each stage of the consumers' ethical decision-making process, and identifies the concrete emotions that mostly influence each component of the consumers' ethical deliberation process, evaluating their relative importance in predicting decisions entailing ethical issues. This paper moves beyond the traditional valence-based approach to ethical decision making, and investigates the individual emotional mechanisms through which affect can influence the ethical deliberation process.

As importantly, the 2021 BEER Lasting Impact Award recognizes the impact of the research co-authored by Morsing and Schultz (2006). Their paper titled “Corporate social responsibility communication: stakeholder information, response and involvement strategies,” is widely seen as a foundational piece of the CSR communication literature and, to date, it is the most widely cited BEER paper of all times. The paper argues that firms should boost the role of stakeholders in CSR communication processes, so as to improve their legitimacy, reputation and relationships with stakeholders. Thus, the communication of CSR initiatives should be a two-way, iterative, sense-giving and sense-making process, taking place between the firm and its stakeholders.

We would like to warmly congratulate the above-presented winners, as well as the runners-up for the Best Paper Award: (1) Rodríguez-Ariza et al. (2017) with their paper titled “The role of female directors in promoting CSR practices: An international comparison between family and non-family businesses”; and (2) Aqueveque et al. (2018) with their paper titled “Be bad but (still) look good: Can controversial industries enhance corporate reputation through CSR initiatives?”.

This yearly ritual of the Best Paper and Lasting Impact Awards has become part of the ways in which we recognize outstanding contributions to BEER, and provide such contributions with the visibility and duly deserved support. This is also part of a wider set of improvements that we have been trying to champion incrementally, in order to provide more visibility to the journal and its authors, including streamlining our internal processes, hiring a dedicated social media editor, boosting our presence on social media, recognizing our best reviewers, and working closely with our dedicated team of Associate Editors. In addition, we have recently created a new journal section, entitled BEER Heterodoxies, which is different from what we commonly find in other journals, in that it exclusively focuses on dissenting work and unconventional points of view that challenge traditional wisdom and paradigms within the fields of business ethics, corporate responsibility and sustainability (Jamali et al., 2022). This new section is becoming increasingly popular, and attracting a good number of submissions with an ascending trend.
