However, this sector is also an energy‐intensive one and subject to policies of climate change mitigation. The European Union (EU) has embarked on sustainability and competitiveness policies that require increasing the environmental performance of the economy. This paper focuses on the environmental performance of the manufacturing sector of the EU. A nonparametric tool for assessing the effectiveness of climate change mitigation measures in the manufacturing sector is developed. This paper employs a relatively novel by‐production model with constraints ensuring a proper linkage between economic and environmental subtechnologies. This paper applies the shadow carbon price approach to assessing the costs of energy‐related GHG emission reduction in the manufacturing sector of EU countries. This allows one to compare and define the most efficient climate change mitigation policies in the manufacturing sector of EU countries. The results suggest that the variation in the carbon shadow price across EU countries remains substantial. The highest shadow prices are noted for Slovakia, Hungary, Latvia, and Estonia, indicating that further abatement of the carbon dioxide emission there would invoke relatively high costs.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143757776","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}

This study aims to investigate the mechanisms through which pro‐environmental attitudes influence sustainable consumption behaviors by examining the interplay among green attitudes, impulse buying tendency (IBT), and consumer citizenship behavior (CCB). Specifically, the study explores the mediating role of IBT in connecting green attitudes to green buying impulsively and the moderating effects of climate change concerns, social media usage, and hedonic motives. The findings reveal that green attitudes significantly influence IBT and green buying impulsively, with IBT acting as a mediator. Furthermore, climate change concerns, social media usage, and hedonic motives significantly moderate the proposed relationships, transforming sustainable consumption patterns (e.g., green buying impulsively and intention to continue) and CCB. This study contributes to the literature by identifying the psychological and social drivers of green consumption behaviors and their interactions with environmental concerns. It offers actionable insights for policymakers and businesses to develop targeted strategies that encourage pro‐environmental behaviors, fostering a more sustainable and environmentally conscious consumer landscape.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745067","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}

We develop a conceptual framework to elucidate the relationship between regional EPIs, cluster ecosystems, R&D decisions, and innovation performance of firms. We test this framework by employing ordinary least squares (OLS) and fixed effect regressions to analyze a unique sample of panel data from ORBIS and DESTATIS for the period 2009–2017. We find that in regions in which there are higher EPIs, R&D firms outperform their non‐R&D counterparts in terms of intangible assets formation. We also find that the relationship between cluster ecosystem and firm innovation performance is contingent on firm R&D engagement and specific types of regional EPIs. Additional insights reveal that there are spillover effects on firm innovation performance for non‐R&D firms belonging to business clusters and at the same time, in proximity to geographical areas that are populated by higher numbers of other cluster constituents. The results of this study contribute to our nascent understanding of innovation ecosystems and hold important implications for policymakers in terms of how to formulate effective environmental policies to promote firm innovation.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736609","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}

Using a mixed‐methods approach, qualitative insights from industry stakeholders are combined with quantitative analysis via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM). Findings reveal that AI‐PWA improves real‐time resource management, driving DMFO and supporting regenerative practices through RRI. However, AIRC moderates AI's effectiveness in sustainability transitions, with concerns such as job displacement, mistrust, and complexity hindering adoption. This study provides actionable strategies to mitigate resistance, enhance stakeholder collaboration, and scale AI adoption in resource‐constrained settings, contributing to SDG 12 and SDG 13.

Although problematic for societies over a long period, their greater prominence in the post‐pandemic scenario makes the need to find appropriate solutions, at both supply and consumption levels, increasingly urgent. Thus, while not new, there has been a recent surge of interest in these phenomena due to the global crisis of the last decades, policy shifts in international governance, and a greater awareness of the long‐term effects of technological and environmental trends. In this scenario, the emergence of food sharing platforms (FSPs) becomes an innovative solution in bringing about the efficient redistribution of surplus food, promising not only to mitigate food waste but also support those needing access to food resources. Despite their strategic importance, the ways these organizations innovate their business model (BM) has found scant attention in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the patterns and pathways of business model innovation (BMI) in FSP, shedding light on the main operational dynamics and innovation strategies applied by these platforms. To this end, the paper conducts a multiple case study analysis of six distinct FSPs, through semi‐structured interviews and extensive online research. The findings contribute to advancing the field of research into BMI and FSPs, filling the gap in studies on the topic. Moreover, from a managerial perspective, the research provides practitioners with knowledge about the best BMI practices in their industry, revealing different strategies to strengthen the role of FSPs in fostering sustainable consumption practices and in promoting social welfare.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"58 13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736636","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}

Specifically, we examine the mediating role of implementation—the translation of strategic intent into actionable practices—on customers' perceptions. Using multilevel analyses of 31 US service firms and a survey of 6891 customers, we find that sustainability implementation is a strong positive predictor of brand image. However, sustainability orientation alone has a negative direct effect on brand image, suggesting that stated commitments without corresponding action can harm perceptions. Crucially, sustainability implementation positively mediates the relationship between orientation and brand image. This research addresses a key gap in the literature by demonstrating that, in the service sector, genuine action, not just communication of intent, is essential for building a sustainable brand. From a practical standpoint, the findings highlight that strategic intent toward sustainability, while necessary, is insufficient. To avoid greenwashing perceptions, firms must couple their sustainability orientation with effective and visible implementation of environmental and social initiatives.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734101","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 the existing literature focuses on ESG performance in listed firms, there is a gap in understanding the growth dynamics of unlisted firms in EECA, which face challenges in implementing ESG initiatives due to resource constraints as the prime cause. The ESG index is constructed using principal component analysis (PCA), and growth is assessed through the variables of sales growth (SG), employment growth (EG) and asset growth (AG). To address endogeneity in the ESG–growth relationship, a two‐stage least squares (2SLS) estimator is employed, using instrumental variables. The results show a positive and significant relationship between ESG and growth indicators, emphasising the importance of sustainable practices for positive stakeholder relationships, enhanced reputation and long‐term growth. This research offers unique insights into the ESG–growth connection for unlisted firms in EECA, benefiting stakeholders by divulging employment opportunities in society and amplifying sales and asset growth.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143734064","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}

Based on the results of the empirical analysis, an asymmetric relationship between entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability has been determined in the short and long run. Although decreases in entrepreneurial activities cause a reduction in environmental quality, increases in entrepreneurial activities contribute to environmental sustainability. Increases in green investments provide improvements in environmental quality. These results show that entrepreneurial activities and green investments significantly impact environmental sustainability in developed economies.

To address these research questions, the study was conducted on a sample of Italian companies listed between 2017 and 2022, following the introduction of Directive 2014/95/EU. Using a panel regression, we aimed to examine the presence of a correlation between ESG performance and the readability of the reports (measured by the Gunning Fog index) employed by companies to disclose nonfinancial information. We successively conducted several robustness tests and verified the absence of multicollinearity and endogeneity. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between environmental performance and NFD readability, suggesting that companies with better environmental performance tend to make their disclosures more understandable and transparent. This result supports the signalling theory, according to which companies with good sustainability results try to distinguish themselves from others through clear and readable information. In contrast, no significant relationships are found for the social and governance dimensions, indicating that these variables may be less relevant in determining NFD readability. Practical implications highlight the importance of promoting accountability and transparency in sustainability reporting. Regulators, on the other hand, could use these findings to refine existing regulations and introduce more stringent standards in terms of transparency and readability, to reduce the risk of greenwashing and improve the overall quality of information provided to stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713218","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}
