Beyond Biodiversity Exposure
Biodiversity loss is no longer a distant ecological concern but an immediate economic reality and it is now a critical dimension of firm‐level risk. At the same time, global sustainability frameworks such as SDG 15: Life on Land call for urgent corporate action to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems. This study asks a central question: Do firms that are more exposed to biodiversity risks meaningfully engage with SDG 15 and under what condi…
Strategic Shift
Employing FTSE Russell's unique Green Revenues data on S&P 1500 firms from 2016 to 2024, this study examines the long‐term effects of a corporate strategic shift toward green strategy, proxied by green revenue reporting, on corporate sustainability performance. Using ordinary least squares, complemented by the treatment model, the study's findings reveal that adopting a strategic shift to green strategy has a persistently positive effect on firm‐…
Climate Change Exposure and Firms' Biodiversity Impact Reduction Strategy
This paper investigates how climate change exposure shapes long‐run biodiversity disclosure strategies, for instance, by informing efforts to reduce biodiversity impacts and by contributing to the existing environment and strategy literature in various ways. First, this paper adds insight into horizon issues related to climate change and shows that biodiversity disclosure improves firm‐level efficiency. Using S&P 1500 firms from 2005 to 2023, the…
Political Appointment of Executives, Green Action and Firm Performance
Environmental sustainability and political influence increasingly shape corporate strategy, yet the link between politically appointed executives and firms' environmental actions remains underexplored. This study investigates whether political appointments to top executive positions influence the adoption of green action initiatives and how these initiatives, in turn, affect firm performance. Using World Bank Enterprise Survey data from 28,042 fi…
Eco‐Initiatives and Commitment to the Equator Principles
The Equator Principles (EP) score is a performance code for financial institutions (FIs) based on their commitment to managing environmental issues in project financing. This study examines the impact of environmental initiatives on the adoption of the EP by 204 US financial firms (including banks, insurance companies, investment banks, asset managers, private equity firms, and other FIs) from 2005 to 2024. The study findings show that FIs engagi…
Climate Change Exposure and Corporate Commitment to SDG 15 (Life on Land)
The prominent issue at the firm level in US firms is increasing exposure to climate change risk. As climate‐related pressures intensify, firms are expected to play a greater role in supporting global sustainability goals, particularly those aimed at preserving terrestrial ecosystems. This raises an important question: how does climate exposure influence corporate engagement with Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land)? This study examines …
The Strategic Logic of Biodiversity
Biodiversity loss poses profound strategic and operational challenges for firms, yet management research offers limited evidence on which organisational mechanisms effectively reduce corporate biodiversity impacts. This study introduces the Biodiversity Strategy Configuration Framework (BSCF) to enhance the understanding of firm‐level biodiversity strategy. Drawing on dynamic capabilities, institutional theory, and collaborative governance, this …
From Green Strategy to Sustainable Development
Firms are increasingly integrating United Nations Development Goals 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Climate action) as a part of their sustainability strategies. However, prior research has rarely examined how these SDGs interact as a unified capability rather than as isolated practices. Drawing on the Strategic Green Synergy (SGS) framework, the firm's integrative capability to align environmental identity (who we are), green…
Climate Risk Management Skill
This paper presents the construction of a new measure of climate risk management skill (CRMS) that captures a five‐level ability to improve firm outcomes by effectively managing climate risk factors. CRMS is constructed by aggregating standardized residuals from firm performance, firm efficiency, operating cash flow, capital expenditures, and financial distress, each controlling for firm and climate risk attributes, resulting in a composite index…
Advancing Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land)
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land) (SDG 15: LoL) has gained renewed importance as biodiversity and land conservation emerge as strategic imperatives for sustainable business practices. I use logistic regression to investigate corporate environmental initiatives' influence on advancing SDG 15. Framing my arguments within the corporate environmental reputation framework and building on the resource‐based view and dynamic …
