Carbon Emission Disclosure: Evidence from Manufacturing Company
Get PDFThis study aims to examine variables that affect carbon emissions disclosure. The variables tested in this study include media exposure, environmental performance, leverage, and firm size. Carbon emission disclosure is measured using a checklist based on the information request sheet provided by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The research sample was 34 manufacturing companies listed on the IDX selected from 2016-2020. Data analysis used pooled least squares. The result of this study indicates that the variables of media exposure, environmental performance, and company size have a significant positive effect on carbon emissions disclosure. Meanwhile, leverage has a significant negative impact on carbon emissions disclosure. This study implies that manufacturing companies need to change the perception that disclosing carbon emissions will only increase costs because disclosing carbon emissions also benefits companies and other stakeholders. The value of the study confirms the “inside and outside” drivers that can contribute to changes and improvements in carbon emission disclosure performance
Flood zoning and developing strategies to increase resilience against floods with a crisis management approach
Get PDFAssessment and planning of crisis management with the approach to natural flood disasters include many factors. In this regard, one of the basic principles of crisis management is based on the resilience of urban infrastructure against floods. This study developed strategies to increase resilience by flood zoning and crisis management. The investigation of the current situation shows that despite the efforts being made, the climatic and environmental conditions of the rivers, the settlements of the infiltration basin, the constructions, and the location inaccuracy of the following structures indicate many challenges in managing the current situation in various components of crisis management. In this regard, the main direction of this article is to evaluate the urban resilience of the Khuzestan region against floods based on a crisis management approach and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and Fuzzy weighting methods using geographic information system (GIS)
Revisiting the Impact of Board Gender Diversity on ESG Disclosure in the US
Get PDFThe objective of this study is to examine the effect of board gender diversity on the disclosures of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) of Fortune 500 non-financial firms in the United States of America. This study utilized a sample of US non-financial firms between 2013-2022 and generated unbalanced panel data for 343 non-financial firms from the Bloomberg database comprising 2,145 firm-year observations. The results indicate that board gender diversity is positively associated with ESG disclosure. Besides, the board gender diversity also has a significant positive relationship with individual components of ESG disclosure: environmental, social, and governance disclosures. This study also explores the impact of a critical mass of women on boards on the ESG disclosure score and its three components individually. In addition, the findings suggest that the critical mass of female board members favorably impacts the environmental and governance components of the ESG score. However, their contribution to the social score is limited. This study contributes to the limited but expanding literature on the relationship between corporate governance and ESG disclosure and encourages firms in developing nations to appoint more women to the boards
