Employing fixed-effects regressions, robustness checks, and alternative empirical models, the findings reveal that higher gender inequality significantly reduces ESG performance, with the strongest effects observed in the governance dimension. Heterogeneity analyses show that the impact varies by income level, region, and political regime, with middle-income countries, Latin America, and democracies experiencing the most pronounced effects. Additional covariates, such as income inequality and dependency ratios, confirm the robustness of the results and highlight the interplay between gender disparities and broader socio-economic factors. The study underscores that addressing gender inequality is critical for achieving sustainability goals and provides tailored policy recommendations, including enhancing women's participation in leadership, integrating gender equity into governance reforms, and adopting long-term, context-specific strategies.

This study explores the influence of Weibo discussions on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics on the stock performance of 141 Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, utilizing 4,320 hot search topics to analyze market reactions. Our findings corroborate the significant role of social media as a digital citizen square where stakeholders not traditionally engaged in financial dialogues can significantly impact market perceptions and valuations. We find that negative discussions markedly harm company valuations, while positive sentiments foster minor beneficial effects on stock prices. Crucially, our research highlights the complex functionality of ESG disclosures as both a shield and a potential risk: while they can mitigate negative repercussions during crises of negative publicity, they also set high transparency standards that may increase scrutiny and potentially lead to adverse market outcomes during stable periods.

In this context, digital transformation, characterized by its “intelligence, flexibility, and openness”, disrupts traditional combinations of resources and emerges as a vital driver for promoting green innovation in resource-based enterprises. However, existing research on the impact of digital transformation on green innovation in these enterprises still requires further exploration. This study utilizes data from China's A-share resource-based listed companies from 2016 to 2022 to construct a bidirectional fixed effects model aimed at examining the impact of digital transformation on green innovation. Furthermore, we develop a Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) theoretical framework to identify the potential mechanisms at play. The findings indicate that digital transformation significantly enhances green innovation in resource-based enterprises, particularly substantive green innovation. Key mediating factors include technology integration capability, internal control quality, information environment quality, and external financing constraints. Notably, for non-state-owned resource-based enterprises, those in the primary processing industry, and those located in the eastern region, digital transformation exerts a more positive effect on green innovation, which also applies to substantive green innovation.

Our findings revealed that the Small Grants Program significantly contributed to green innovation, as indicated by the increase in the number of green patents.

Heterogeneity emerged across citiy economic statuses, ethnic minority arreas, and project domians of work.

To address this gap, a systematic literature review (SLR) protocol was conducted using the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases to identify key scholarly works.

The results indicate that implementing CE can significantly enhance marketing innovation, foster the development of innovative business models, attract eco-conscious consumers, and inspire new marketing strategies. Additionally, the research identifies challenges related to CE and underscores the importance of integrating CE into marketing practices. These findings not only guide future research but also aid policymakers in implementing CE within the marketing sector. This conceptual review introduces a novel framework that positions marketing as a driver, rather than just a supporter, of CE practices. It applies paradox theory to analyze tensions and offers a structured visualization of CE marketing systems.
