It investigates the impact of sustainable practices on network dynamics and a company's business network with a particular focus on the textile sector in the fashion industry. Sustainable innovation has a significant impact outside of internal operations and is motivated by the desire to increase operational efficiency and environmental performance. Studies emphasise the significance of concentration and vertical integration within corporate networks as businesses attempt to satisfy long‐term demands. Businesses can preserve critical skills and capabilities and manage resource utilisation and traceability through vertical integration. In contrast, concentration leads to a decrease in the number of actors in the network as smaller businesses that lack the funding to adhere to strict sustainability criteria leave the market. These dynamics highlight how sustainable innovation plays a dual function in strengthening and consolidating capabilities within business networks. Based on a single case study, the study's findings offer insightful information on more general tendencies that might be applicable to a variety of industries.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153318","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}

Analysing a panel dataset from 13 emerging economies spanning 2002–2022, we find that SBC positively influences CETIs, while EC has no significant effect. Our results also show that EC and SBC do not impact CCE. BSCI positively affects CETIs but has no significant influence on CCE. Additionally, BSCI moderates the relationship between EC and CCE, highlighting the critical role of governance structures. While CETIs are associated with low FP, CCE appears to have no direct impact on FP. These findings vary across business operating periods and remain robust under alternative measures, addressing potential endogeneities and sample selection bias. The results provide insights for policy makers and practitioners aiming to enhance sustainability practices in emerging economies.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153321","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}

In particular, the impact of the fashion industry has garnered significant concern, as it alone is responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions. Consequently, the adoption of responsible environmental initiatives such as the transition to sustainable energy could play a critical role in mitigating its harmful effects on the ecosystem. In this context, climate governance serves as a key indicator of companies' commitment and performance regarding their climate impact, and it is an essential factor in reducing associated risks, enhancing sustainability and seizing climate opportunities. So, the fashion industry is one of the top contributors to global environmental degradation, yet climate governance within this sector remains insufficiently examined. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the role that the climate governance of fashion multinationals plays in the adoption of more sustainable and efficient energy models. To address our research question, we analysed the corporate practices of the top 150 MNCs over the period 2016–2022, using dependency models. Our findings show that climate governance structures in the fashion industry favour the use of renewable energy and the investment in various energy efficiency projects to facilitate the transition towards a more responsible energy model. Thus, we identify the significant role of governance in promoting climate action in this sector. Furthermore, our evidence indicates that organisational structures, such as the dedicated environmental management team and the CSR committee at board level, have a significant impact on sustainable energy practices.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"143 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133689","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}

Companies, in particular, play a pivotal role in mitigating climate risks and reducing environmental impacts by adopting sustainable practices that extend beyond regulatory compliance. This responsibility is not confined to high‐emission industries; service sectors, including financial institutions, also play a crucial role. Banks are uniquely positioned to address climate change by managing the carbon footprint of their operations and evaluating the environmental impacts of their loan portfolios and financial activities. The urgency of climate change has underscored the importance of transparent communication by banks regarding climate‐related information. While climate change disclosure (CCD) has garnered significant academic interest, research on its determinants in the banking sector remains limited. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the level of CCD among European banks and identifying the factors influencing the dissemination of such information through their official websites. In particular, drawing on agency theory, it investigates the role of board characteristics in shaping CCD practices. The findings, based on an econometric analysis conducted on a sample of 107 publicly listed European banks, reveal that board expertise, gender diversity, and size positively influence the level of CCD, whereas board independence has no significant effect. These results underscore the critical role of governance structures in fostering transparency and accountability in climate‐related matters.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133699","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}

While corporations struggle with implementing radical sustainability‐oriented innovation, sustainable startups face challenges in scaling and validation. Given their complementary resources, partnerships between these entities offer significant potential to accelerate sustainable transitions. However, existing literature has largely overlooked the distinct drivers, barriers, and shared resources that characterize sustainability‐oriented corporate‐startup alliances, focusing instead on conventional or digital‐oriented collaborations. This study addresses this gap through a multiple case study of eight sustainability‐driven corporate‐startup partnerships in Chile. Using a grounded theory approach, we identify 21 drivers, 14 barriers, and 10 shared resource types, revealing the dual role of resource acquisition and legitimacy‐building in fostering sustainable collaborations.

Although family ownership is associated with distinctive sustainability behaviors, findings remain mixed due to conflicting SEW motivations. Using data from publicly listed firms in Korea, we find that family firms generally engage less in sustainability practices than nonfamily firms. However, this negative effect weakens at moderate ownership levels and reverses at high levels, suggesting a shift from control‐driven conservatism to reputation‐driven engagement. Additionally, we show that MBA‐educated executives on the board moderate this curvilinear relationship by balancing SEW priorities—reducing underinvestment at low ownership and curbing overinvestment at high ownership levels. Our findings contribute to the literature by identifying the conditions under which family ownership promotes or impedes sustainability efforts and by underscoring the critical role of board members' cognitive attributes in navigating SEW tensions within publicly listed family firms.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133716","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}

Focusing on the European capital market, we study the relationship between board gender diversity, family ownership and different levels of corporate climate activities along the continuum from climate talk to climate walk. Using emission reduction target data from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), we conduct various panel regression analyses and propose several additional robustness tests. Our results extend prior research on carbon performance and reporting by providing novel insights into how firms translate their climate ambitions into actionable targets and how they subsequently deliver on those targets. This study stresses that firms with gender‐diverse boards engage more in symbolic climate talk but not in substantive climate walk. Empirical evidence on the family ownership impact is mixed. Overall, family ownership tends to exhibit a negative association with climate actions, although the effect depends on the ownership concentration threshold and varies with family management. Our results also indicate that female directors mitigate the negative direct consequences of family ownership for climate actions. Our study contributes to the ongoing discourse regarding symbolic and substantive climate efforts among European businesses and sheds light on the particular role of different corporate governance mechanisms for attaining international climate objectives. As climate‐related regulatory initiatives unfold rapidly, the results are highly relevant to European firms, their stakeholders and regulators. In terms of their practical application, our results may inform the pending ‘omnibus’ proposals to revise European sustainability legislation while also helping firms to reflect on their governance structures in line with climate needs.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133717","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}
