Portfolio management requires investment managers to consider investor preferences before taking any investment decisions. Some of the investors might be interested in building a clean, environmentally friendly, and carbon-free portfolio, assuming it as their corporate social responsibility (CSR) or owing to some fear of future loss arising from the ban on environment-hampering companies that might not be following the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements. Historically, we have seen a ban on Chinese products because of the issues of carbon emissions. Similarly, during SMOG, many brick kilns and iron foundries are closed in Pakistan every year. The carbon budgeting on the portfolio can help achieve the CSR and sustainability goals of investors. The study attempts to develop a portfolio based on historical data, which could yield optimum results while remaining carbon conscious. The study aims to find the best-performing portfolio that could be more ESG compliant and may achieve CSR objectives to protect the environment and investors’ interests simultaneously. The findings show that companies segregated based on carbon footprint can create a carbon-free portfolio (approximately 25%) without a material impact on the expected risk and return profile. To be more ESG compliant, an investor can compromise slightly on returns, that is, only compromising 3% of the profit, we can maintain a 50% compliant portfolio in Pakistan’s environment. The study tries to improve the understanding of regulatory requirements but would also help us gain the confidence of investors who are keen to see carbon-free portfolios or in other words want to ensure investments in environmentally friendly industries.

Corporate governance is highlighted as an important aspect of developing economies. The literature well explained the relationship between corporate governance and capital structure, but little is known about the role of debt as a takeover defense and disciplinary tool, particularly for a debt-based economy such as Pakistan. This study used data from 173 non-financial firms listed on a stock exchange in Pakistan from 2008 to 2017. For the empirical investigation, the study incorporated the Orthogonal Generalized Method of Momentum approach to unbalanced panel data owing to endogeneity. The findings show that in over-levered firms, the adjustment speed of capital structure is slower with weak corporate governance. This result indicates that managers use debt as a takeover defense tool to protect their jobs, even at the cost of shareholders’ benefits. However, for under-levered firms, the adjustment speed of capital structure with weak governance is slower. This aspect specifies that the disciplinary effect of debt is more important for managers. This study concludes that managers with weak corporate governance take benefits at the cost of shareholders’ wealth. The study recommends that managers should develop an understanding of corporate governance to safeguard the rights of the shareholders.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals are among the crucial missions of countries worldwide, including Indonesia. Nevertheless, application of a production system does not guarantee sustainability, and the Indonesian government’s support for sustainability in the entrepreneurial sector is nonoptimal. This study investigates green entrepreneurship in Indonesia’s culinary sector in relation to sustainable development and green variables. Using a culinary sector survey based on the UNWTO and the Ministry of Tourism, this study references primary questionnaire data, applying a random sampling technique and structural equation modeling covariance with a sample of 270 respondents. The results indicate that the provision of green products affects sustainable development, regardless of respondents’ green entrepreneurship. While green products may affect sustainable development, directly or through green entrepreneurship, green design does not appear to affect sustainable development, and green entrepreneurship does not appear to support sustainable conditions. Environmentally friendly product design and production processes have generated multiple recyclable products; however, the culinary sector must be made aware of the entrepreneurial ecosystem surrounding culinary business governance and the concerns and practices of sustainable development. This study was conducted at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and represents the conditions of the culinary sector during the pandemic.

This study examines factors affecting customers’ intention to purchase green skincare products in China to provide some managerial recommendations to existing companies. The theory of planned behavior was applied to formulate our research hypotheses and establish our proposed model. A total of 121 Chinese consumers responded to a survey we conducted online. Hayes’s (2013) process and structural equation modeling was employed to test the moderating effect. We find that consumers’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control significantly affect their purchase intention. Moreover, the country of origin and price sensitivity has a moderation effect on the above relationships. The above findings can help green skincare companies to understand customer purchase behaviors in these modern times.

More than 25 years into democracy, South Africa’s higher educational landscape remains challenged by the slow pace of transformation and the residual inequality of apartheid. We utilize a mixed-methods research approach to analyze, interpret, and compare transformation-related disclosures among publicly funded universities, with reference to their historical apartheid-era categorization. We particularly explore the mechanisms introduced to improve academic access and success of students from previously disadvantaged groups. Moreover, we identify the challenges that have contributed to the slow pace of transformation. ATLAS.ti was used to analyze and interpret the transformation-related disclosures in publicly available annual reports of the universities included in this study. We find that historically advantaged universities tend to disclose more support mechanisms, but historically disadvantaged ones face greater infrastructural challenges. We offer a unique perspective on the transformation support mechanisms and challenges experienced by public universities in South Africa based on their historical classification.

This paper examines New Zealand listed firms’ compliance with Global Reporting Initiative-environmental reporting standards (GRI 300) and the impact of environmental reporting determinants on the level of sustainability reporting. The author collected data from annual and sustainability reports of the top and bottom 30 firms listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). The author then conducted content analysis to measure the extent of each firm’s environmental reporting score. The study findings indicate that large firms report only one-thirds of the relevant information, whereas small firms neither adopt international reporting frameworks nor report on the environment. Additionally, we found that firm size and profitability are positively associated with the extent of environmental reporting in New Zealand, whereas industry-specific differences play a minor role. This study further finds that firms, which explicitly referred to the “Global Reporting Initiatives” or “GRI” terms in their annual or sustainability reports, outperformed in environmental reporting compared with those that did not. This study uses GRI 300 standards to assess the level of environmental reporting of each firm. Finally, the study compares environmental reporting practices between top and bottom-listed firms in New Zealand. The findings emphasize the desirability of making the environment reporting mandatory in all companies to ensure the New Zealand Government’s latest enforcement of climate risk reporting.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the association of information technology (IT) training, IT perceived benefits, and IT benefits with IT adoption among practicing Chartered Accountants (CAs). The study then explained the implications of IT adoption and evaluated the relationship between IT training, IT perceived usefulness, and IT usefulness to practicing accountants. Employing a quantitative approach, a series of questionnaires were culled out by making the necessary adjustments to the available items. A total of 88 qualified CAs practicing in Kerala were analyzed. As part of the data analysis, the study used Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM–PLS) software. The results of the study have shown a positive significant relationship between two determinants, namely, IT training and IT perceived usefulness, but IT usefulness has no relationship with IT adoption by practicing CAs. This study added to the literature by analyzing IT determinants and the adoption of auditing software among practicing auditors.

Considering the endogeneity problem, this study investigates the impact of corporate governance attributes (CG) on firm performance in the Indian context. The sample of the study includes 174 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the study period is eight years (2011–12 to 2018–19). This study is based on secondary data obtained from published annual reports (for CG data) and the Capitalineplus database (for accounting data). Based on the regression models (i.e., Ordinary Least Squares model and Two Stage Least Square model), the study shows that almost all CG attributes such as board size, gender diversity, CEO duality, and board independence are significantly associated with firm performance. We also find that the control variables such as firm size, debt, and R&D spending are also significantly associated with firm performance. This study is the first of its kind to focus exclusively on the attributes of market capitalization and corporate governance in an emerging market like India. These new insights into this relationship provide useful information to the government, academics, policymakers, and other stakeholders.

In today’s business context of globalization, competition, knowledge economy, rapid technological changes, and external environmental factors, knowledge management and business intelligence on the tourism level have received increased attention in an effort to identify smart performance factors and change the structure of organizations. Similarly, the tourism industry has experienced considerable development during recent decades. Moreover, sustainability is becoming increasingly important for society and is especially critical in the operation of the tourism industry. It is well known that sustainability is a prerequisite to carrying out any activity. This evaluates the relationship between knowledge management in operations and business intelligence systems on the sustainability performance within the tourism industry in Algeria. A total of 126 questionnaires were distributed to the study sample. A multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses of the study. This study concludes that there is a positive relationship between knowledge management processes and sustainability performance. Further, the components of business intelligence have positive impacts on sustainability performance. The results can facilitate utilizing the knowledge management processes and business intelligence implementation in Algeria’s tourist industry.

A sustainability-driven enterprise (SDE) is an organization that applies business principles to solve social and environmental problems. These organizations should be capable of managing the Triple Bottom Line tension within their organization. Furthermore, they should have a transformative impact on future generations and the development of global socioecological systems. The quest for an SDE and its organizational capability can be traced to the late 1980s. Since then, scholars and practitioners have published several hundred empirical studies and many reviews on this issue. However, the most extensive previous study analyzes only separate study domains, thereby making findings difficult to compare and generalize. Thus, knowledge of SDE organizational capabilities remains fragmented. This study extracts all available primary and secondary data from previous academic studies registered in the SCOPUS databases to overcome this shortcoming. Thus, the study combines the findings of more than 100 individual studies from 2015 to 2021. Hence, this study is the most exhaustive overview of academic research on this topic from the Sustainable Development Goals declared in 2015. The results show that at least five organizational capabilities are required to build an SDE. This study will offer promising fundamentals for building SDE practices and creating further research. Suggestions for further research development are also provided.
