The research aims to determine whether these factors can inform more effective marketing strategies and personalized consumer profiles to promote environmentally responsible purchasing decisions. A quantitative research approach was employed through an online survey using computer‐assisted web interviewing (CAWI). Data were collected from university students across Italy to assess the impact of gender, age and education on sustainable shopping behaviors. The results reveal a significant relationship between shopping frequency, environmental awareness and gender, as well as between education level, shopping frequency and personal commitment to environmental care. The findings suggest that tailored educational strategies targeting different demographic groups may enhance sustainable consumption practices and contribute to broader sustainability goals. This study contributes to the discourse on sustainable consumption by integrating demographic segmentation into marketing and policy strategies. Given the socio‐economic and environmental crises shaping consumer behaviours, understanding the role of gender, age and education in sustainability‐oriented decision‐making can inform targeted interventions and promote responsible consumption patterns among Gen Z.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"249 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines whether the relationship is strengthened by environmental management accounting (EMAC) and the role of green absorptive capacity (GACA) as a moderator. Additionally, the study assesses the mediating effect of SURE in the link between GRIN and sustainable competitive advantage (SCAD). Data were collected from 225 managers in Vietnamese manufacturing firms and analyzed using SmartPLS 3 and SPSS 26. The findings confirm that GRIN significantly drives SURE, with EMAC enhancing this relationship. GACA moderates the effect of EMAC on the GRIN–SURE relationship, making it crucial for optimizing environmental performance and reporting. SURE is shown to contribute to SCAD, offering firms a competitive edge. Furthermore, GRIN indirectly impacts SCAD through SURE. These insights emphasize the importance of integrating GRIN, EMAC, and absorptive capacity to strengthen sustainability practices and competitive advantage. The study contributes valuable knowledge to both academic research and managerial practices in the context of environmental and sustainability efforts.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on institutional logics, we analyse the consultation that informed the Directive 2014/95/EU (NFRD) to Directive 2022/2464/EU (CSRD) shift. We performed correspondence analysis of closed‐ended and close reading of open‐ended responses to explore contrasting stakeholder stances and whether these reflect competing logics. We found that business representatives (organisations and associations) are more conservative than nonbusiness (e.g., NGOs and citizens) on the proposed revisions due to market logics adherence. Furthermore, the CSRD regulatory stance aligns more with progressives, pushing conservatives towards reporting requirements they perceive as risky. This study contributes to the institutional logics and sustainability reporting literature, extending it to the regulation phenomenon. It provides theoretical insights on the competing logics roots of dissatisfaction with regulated sustainability reporting. It advocates for a regulatory design fostering dialogue and helping organisations develop capabilities for effective compliance.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings from a representative US survey (N = 800) show that, besides climate change concern, health concern about air pollution significantly influences BEV adoption intention. Furthermore, health orientation moderates this relationship, with highly health‐oriented individuals showing a stronger positive effect of air pollution health concern on BEV adoption. For highly health‐oriented individuals, air pollution health concern has a stronger influence than climate change concern. These findings highlight the importance of emphasizing personal health benefits alongside environmental benefits in marketing and policy strategies. Further findings of the study show that adoption barriers, such as high costs and infrastructure limitations, remain significant deterrents to the switch to electric mobility. Increasing awareness of the noxious health impacts of pollution caused by internal combustion engines and promoting health awareness, together with overcoming the known adoption barriers, can accelerate the transition to sustainable electric mobility, contributing to climate change mitigation while enhancing public health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, the study examined how sustainable finance of the firms listed on the London Stock Exchange impacts dividend policy. The study used 17 years of data from n143 companies between 2007 and 2023, obtained from Thomson Reuters Eikon DataStream. The data were analyzed using the generalized method of movement (GMM) due to its capacity to overcome and address the issues of endogeneity and autoserial correlation in the datasets, leading to robust, unbiased, and reliable estimation results. The study discovered that green bond issues had a positive and significant impact on dividend yield and retention. Also, the findings reveal that environmental expenditure and policy for emission reduction had a negative and significant impact on dividend yield and retention. Furthermore, the moderating relationship between green bond issues, environmental expenditures, and leverage revealed a positive and significant impact on dividend yield and retention. The companies should retain financial viability while promoting environmental measures. Environmental policies that foster sustainable development without compromising the company's capacity to sustain cash flow or dividends are essential. Therefore, the management should rigorously assess environmental investments to guarantee that selected projects yield returns consistent with environmental goals and shareholder expectations.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing studies on sustainability and crowdfunding primarily focus on equity‐based models, specific project types, or single‐country analyses, leading to mixed findings and limited generalizability. To address this gap, we conducted a cross‐country study assessing how sustainability disclosure influences RBC crowdfunding success. Using a novel machine learning approach, we objectively classify campaign sustainability orientation, overcoming the subjectivity of traditional keyword‐based methods. Analyzing 1838 Kickstarter campaigns across Europe, we find that sustainability disclosure increases funds raised by 70.4% and success probability by 10%, accounting for several control variables. These results provide empirical evidence that sustainability serves as a quality signal, mitigating information asymmetry and significantly increasing campaign success. Our study advances the entrepreneurial finance literature by demonstrating the positive impact of sustainability disclosure in crowdfunding and introducing a machine learning–based methodology for objective sustainability classification. Beyond theoretical contributions, the findings offer practical implications for entrepreneurs and platform regulators, emphasizing the strategic importance of transparent sustainability communication to ensure crowdfunding success.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
