THE EFFECT OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE ON CORPORATE WASTE DISCLOSURE
Full text linkBackground: Environmental issues caused by the impact of waste are currently a major concern for people around the world. The growing human population every year is the main cause of the increase in waste generation. Waste generation from companies' operational activities has also received attention from the world community, so corporate social environmental responsibility is very important to communicate. The United Nations Sustainable Developmet Goals raised this issue in the 12th SDG's topic of “Responsible Consumption and Production”.Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of circular economy and environmental performance on corpotate waste disclosure, with financial performance, company size, and company value as control variables.Research Methods: This research is a quantitative study that focuses on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021-2023 period. The method used in this research is multiple linear regression analysis.Research Results: The results showed that the circular economy and environmental performance has a positive and significant effect on corporate waste disclosure. This study concludes that companies that are committed to circular economy practices and have good environmental performance tend to make more transparent waste disclosures. The results of this study also found that the control variables of financial performance and firm value do not have a significant effect, while the control variable of firm size has a significant effect.Originality/Novelty of Research: This study provides new insight by using Social Return On Investment (SROI) as a measurement of environmental performance and incorporating the effect of circular economy on corporate waste disclosure
The Effects of Dip and Distraction on Consumption of Vegetables in Adults
No full textabstract: Increasing vegetable consumption among the adult population is a major goal, as the health benefits of vegetables can decrease one's risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. The current study examined a potential strategy to increase consumption of vegetables by pairing them with a dip and a TV distraction. Based upon results of previous, similar research studies (Blass et al., 2006; Fisher et al., 2012; Johnston et al., 2012; Mittal, Stevenson, Oaten, & Miller, 2011), we hypothesized that eating vegetables with dip or while distracted with a television sitcom would result in increased consumption. We also hypothesized that both dip and a distraction together will synergistically increase vegetable consumption. A total of 126 college students were assigned to one of four conditions: eating vegetables with dip, with dip and a television distractor, with only a television distractor, or without either dip or a television distractor. While television had no significant influence on vegetable consumption, pairing vegetables with a dip significantly increased consumption of vegetables. Pairing vegetables with a dip may prove to be an effective strategy for increasing vegetable intake in the adult population
