Firms' Environmental Performance

This research examines the influence of responsible leadership on environmental performance and organizational
green culture within the hospitality sector. In light of increasing environmental challenges, responsible leadership—
defined by its stakeholder-oriented approach—has emerged as a critical driver of sustainable practices.
The research tests a conceptual model using data from 572 employees and managers in four- and five-star hotels
in Antalya, Türkiye. Key hypotheses include the positive effects of responsible leadership on both environmental
performance and organizational green culture. Additionally, this study investigates the mediating role of green
culture and the moderating effect of employees’ eco-friendly behavior. Results confirm that responsible leadership
positively impacts environmental performance and green culture, with green culture partially mediating
this relationship. Furthermore, eco-friendly behavior amplifies the influence of green culture on environmental
outcomes. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating responsible leadership and cultivating a green
organizational culture to enhance sustainability efforts. Practical implications for hospitality management
include prioritizing sustainability-oriented leadership and fostering eco-conscious behaviors among employees.
Future research may explore longitudinal data and expand the model to different cultural contexts.

In this paper, we empirically test the effects of the EU 'cohesion policy' on the performance of about 500,000 European manufacturing firms after combining regional policy data at NUTS-2 level with firm-level data. In a framework of heterogeneous firms and different absorptive capacity of regions, we show that financing of 'cohesion policy' by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) aimed at direct investments in R&D correlates with improvement of firms' productivity in a region. Conversely, funding designed at overall Business Support correlates with negative productivity growth rates. In both cases, we registered an asymmetric impact along the firms' productivity distribution, where a stronger impact can be detected in the first quartile, i.e. less efficient firms in a region. We finally argue that considering the heterogeneity of firms allows a better assessment of the impact of 'cohesion policy' measures.

The most important results: When comparing the years 2019 and 2022, it becomes evident
that the associations between liabilities and financial performance metrics have evolved over
time. In 2019, ROE exhibited strong positive correlations with both SHTL and LTL, while
ROA was primarily associated with LTL. The coefficients in the regression models for both
ROA and ROE are found to be statistically significant, indicating robust relationships
between short-term and long-term debt and financial performance indicators. Both short-term
and long-term debts positively influence both ROA and ROE, suggesting that companies with
higher levels of debt tend to achieve higher returns on their assets and equity. The coefficients
for short-term debt appear to have a stronger impact compared to long-term debt in certain
cases and while the associations between debt and performance indicators remain consistent
over time, there are variations in the strength of these associations between different years.

The purpose of investment by investors in the capital market is to seek profit either in the form of dividend or capital gain and increase wealth. Therefore, before making an investment, it is imperative to the investors to familiarize with the company's fundamental status and performance variables that guide their maximum economic welfare. But on which variable(s) the investors should rely on? Taking this matter into account, the study attempts to identify the variables that have significant influence on shares price in the capital market, to guide investors in selecting the right option to invest, by taking Reneta Pharmaceuticals Limited (RPL), Bangladesh as a case, for the periods 2004 to 2011. Using correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination and testing the formulated hypotheses through student's 't' test, the study reveals that cash flow per share, priceearnings ratio and return on assets have significant impact on price of shares and are the best metrics to explain price movements in capital market and suggest investors to use these in predicting future changes and taking investment decision thereafter.

Based on the analysis of a large dataset on the environmental performance of European companies in five industrial sectors, the paper examines the question of whether the presence of an environmental management system (EMS) has a positive impact on the ecoefficiency of companies. It begins with a review of evidence about the link between EMS and environmental performance in business organisations, finding that, despite much research, there is still little quantitative evidence. The second part of the paper uses three independent statistical methods (simple correlations, Jaggi-Freedman indices and a 'trend differences' approach) to assess whether companies and production sites with EMS perform better than those without and whether performance improves after an EMS has been introduced. The paper shows that there is currently no evidence that EMS have a consistent and significant positive impact on environmental performance. Policy action based on the simple assumption that companies with an EMS perform better than those without therefore seems inappropriate.

Based on the analysis of a large dataset on the environmental performance of European companies in selected industrial sectors, the paper examines the question of whether the presence of an environmental management system (EMS) has a positive impact on the ecoefficiency of companies. It begins with a review of current evidence about the link between EMS and environmental performance, finding that despite much research into EMS there is still very little quantitative research on their actual environmental outcome. The second part of the paper uses three different statistical methods to assess whether companies and production sites with EMS perform better than those without and whether performance improves after an EMS has been introduced. Identifying only a weak link between EMS and eco-efficiency, the authors propose a number of possible explanations and warn against an overly-positive view of EMS as an autonomous driver of environmental performance.

A growing body of work suggests that the presence of women and of independent directors on boards of directors is associated with higher corporate environmental performance. However, the mechanisms linking board composition to corporate environmental performance are not well understood. This study proposes and empirically tests the mediating role of sustainability-themed alliances in the relationship between board composition and corporate environmental performance. Using the population of public oil and gas firms in the United States as the sample, the study relies on renewable energy alliances to measure sustainability-themed alliances and longitudinally analyzes lagged data for independent and control variables. The study found that (1) the higher the representation of women on a firm's board, the more likely the firm is to form sustainability-themed alliances, and (2) the higher the representation of independent directors on a firm's board, the more likely the firm is to form sustainability-themed alliances. Such alliances, in turn, positively contribute to corporate environmental performance. This paper discusses the study's contributions to the board composition-social performance literature.

The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between green business ethics, green finance, and sustainable business performance, and to evaluate the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in this relationship. The impact of the damage inflicted on nature’s functioning order is being felt much more strongly today. In light of these realities, companies must emphasize sustainability principles not just out of financial concerns but as a result of corporate social responsibility. In this context, focusing on the role of corporate social responsibility in sustainable business performance is the main goal of this research. Quantitative research methods, specifically the cross-sectional survey method, were employed for data collection and analysis. For this purpose, a convenience sampling method was used to select 427 white-collar employees working in industries operating in Türkiye as the sample for this study. The data collected through surveys were analyzed using the AMOS 24 statistical program. The findings underscore that green business ethics and green finance have a significant impact on corporate social responsibility and sustainable business performance. Additionally, it was determined that corporate social responsibility plays an intermediary role in shaping sustainable business performance. These findings are expected to provide an important foundation that can guide both employees and managers in developing awareness about green policies and sustainability, emphasizing the importance of green policies in working life.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the possibility of using waste Polyethylene Terephthalate as polymer additives in Bituminous binder. The characteristics of PET-modified binder obtained by fix mixing temperature, was investigated. The binders were prepared by mixing the PET in 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% (by the weight of optimum bitumen) with 80/100 penetration grade bitumen at temperature of 150 ºC. It may be inferred that PETmodified bituminous binders provide better resistance against permanent deformations due to their higher G*/sin d and . their higher softening point when compared to conventional binders. Using PET-modified binders also contribute to the recirculation of plastic waste, as well as to the protection of the environment.

New technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, and vehicle telematics have tremendous potential to improve SMEs business processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs to obtain a competitive advantage. However, the application of these technologies is also associated with certain difficulties for SMEs to adopt and incorporate them in their business processes due to limited resources, knowledge and funds. The advancement in technologies such as IoT and the digitization and datafication of physical infrastructure and processes are causing massive shifts across fields. While an increasing number of devices are being connected to the internet and are capturing large volumes of information about operations, users and the physical environment, new opportunities are arising to leverage that big data for better analytics and automation. The purpose of this paper is to assess how SMEs can apply IoT, AI, machine learning and vehicle telematics for sustainable development business processes, data analysis, predictive maintenance and efficient supply chain and transportation.

Firm growth, improved efficiency and profitability are among the key benefits sought from mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This study is a modest attempt to seek for the effects M&As on the performance of firms in the Ghanaian Stock Market from 1999 to 2010. The study was accounting based and used univariate analysis with T-testing as well as panel data methodology for the analysis. The univariate analysis revealed dwindling profitability after the merger for all the firms with the t-test showing significant difference in profitability before and after merger. The evidence from panel methodology indicates that M&A has significant negative effect on the profitability of firms. It is therefore imperative that M&As are properly planned, executed and evaluated. Specifically, efforts should be made to attract and retain key personnel of the merged firms through performance contracts or bonuses, proper conflict resolution measures should be put in place and conscious effort made to reap th...

Specifying parameters for a model is often a problem confronted by the developer of a game or simulation.

H-irregular total labeling and total H-irregularity strength of graphs were not complete.This research aimed to determine the total H-Irregularity strength of ladder graph Lb with subgraphs C 8 and C 10.To determine of the total H-irregularity strength of ladder graphs, we have to determine the greatest lower bound and the smallest upper bound. The lower bound was analysed based on graph characteristics and other supporting theorems, while the upper bound was analysed by construct a function H-Irregular total labeling. The results reveal that the total H-Irregularity strength of ladder graph Ln with subgraph C 8 is ⌈ n − 2 i + 14 16 ⌉ ≤ t h s ( L n , C 8 ) ≤ ⌈ n + 14 18 ⌉ , for 18 i − 15 ≤ n ≤ 18 i + 2 , where i = 1,2, …, N and the total H-Irregularity strength of ladder graph Ln with subgraph C 10 is t h s ( G , H ) ≥ max { ⌈ 1 + m 1 − 1 | V ( H / S 1 ) | + | E ( H / S 1 ) | ⌉ , … , ⌈ 1 + m 1 − 1 | V ( H / S z ) | + | E ( H / S z ) | ⌉ } ⌈ n − 3 i + 18 20 ⌉ ≤ t h s ( L n , C 10 ) ≤...

This study will be helpful for companies that are reluctant to adopt Eco-friendly technology. This paper shows that the profitability of companies that use green technology does not differ notably compare to companies that are not using green technology. In this paper, this study used financial performance measurement tools (ROS, ROA, ROE) to find out companies' profitability. This study has taken data of 40 listed companies of the Dhaka Stock Exchange. Then it divides the data into two groups, a group accustomed to green technology and a group unaccustomed to green technology. The independent samples test shows that there is no significant difference between the profitability of the two groups. It means the profitability of the two groups is almost similar. From studying these paper readers will be able to understand that by adopting Eco-friendly technology companies will not incur any fundamental loss or sacrifice a great amount of profit. So it will encourage companies to ado...

Intellectual capital is by far the most important factor in enhancing organizational performance. Companies require skilled workers who have the know-how, skills, experience, as well as the ability to bring new ideas for the success of the business. The contemporary economy is a knowledge-based economy, which means that information, knowledge, and other intangible assets are considered to be more valuable than physical commodities. The present research is aimed at investigating the connection between intellectual capital and organizational performance among the business sectors of Turkiye. The current research uses the current dataset of the business sectors of Turkey from 2009 to 2021. The Autoregressive Distributive Lag technique, which provides robust results on short-time period dataset, is employed to investigate this association. The present research differs from past studies in that it uses secondary data in analyzing the effect of human capital component of IC on firm perfor...

The role of territorial capital (TC) on the productivity of Italian firms is investigated by constructing indicators for eight dimensions of TC in a first attempt to capture a wide variety of regional resources. When imposing homogeneous TC effects on all firms, it is found that technological, social, institutional, financial and infrastructure capital drive productivity. However, only technological and artistic capital contribute to reduce regional disparities. Across industries, financial capital and infrastructure increase productivity in companies operating in a wide range of sectors. Industrial policies should consider sectoral heterogeneity and north-south differences to effectively boost productivity performance.

The intention of this research is to identify the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on firm value with profitability as a moderating variable. Data collection is carried out with data documentation that is based on financial reports and sustainability reports. All companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2013-2017 period are considered as the population of this study. Samples were selected using the purposive sampling method. The following are criteria that would be used in this study: 1) publish a sustainability report using the GRI G4 standard as a reference in preparing reports for 2013-2016, 2) publish a complete financial report for the 2014-2017 observation period, 3) not experience a loss during the 2014-2017 period. The total sample of the study was 109 companies. The study uses path analysis assisted with WarpPLS software version 6.0. The results show that the disclosure of corporate social responsibility has a positive and significant effect on firm value, and profitability moderates the effect of corporate social responsibility disclosure on firm value. The implication of the research is that implementing corporate social responsibility is very important to increase firm's value and firm's sustainability in the future.

While there is little empirical evidence to demonstrate which types of environmental management systems (EMSs) are associated with greater environmental improvements, governments worldwide are encouraging facilities to adopt them. This research compares the environmental performance of facilities that adopt ISO 14001–certified EMSs, complete (noncertified) EMSs, and incomplete EMSs across multiple environmental media. The authors analyze these relationships for manufacturing facilities in seven countries using a two‐stage model to control for selection bias. Findings indicate that the adoption of all types of EMSs is related to improved environmental performance in an international setting. However, ISO 14001–certified EMSs are associated with environmental improvements to a broader array of environmental media. These findings offer important implications about which types of EMSs have greater promise as voluntary environmental governance tools.

Using stakeholder theory, this study explores the antecedents and outcomes of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting practices. We draw on a large dataset of all available CSR reports for publicly traded North American companies to empirically test an integrative model of CSR reporting practices. We argue that CSR reporting is driven by top management team (TMT) and CEO considerations, stakeholder relationship management, and firm-specific characteristics, such as industry membership and economic performance. We find that some of the aforementioned antecedents decrease the potential for corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) through the mediating role of the CSR report.
