Board Gender Diversity and Eco‐Innovation
Corporate sustainability has become a strategic priority in response to growing regulatory, social and environmental pressures, placing greater emphasis on governance structures, such as board composition, that shape the incorporation of ethical and sustainable values into corporate decision‐making. In this context, this study analyses the influence of gender diversity on boards of directors on eco‐innovation in products and processes, also exami…
SDG Forward Faster in the Face of Geopolitical and Climate Risks
In a macroeconomic environment characterised by systemic disruptions and global uncertainty, companies are forced to reconfigure their sustainability strategies. This study examines the combined impact of geopolitical and climate risks on corporate commitment to and actual progress toward the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a comprehensive analysis of 5537 companies in 48 countries between 2017 and 2023, we docum…
CEO Power and Circular Economy Disclosure
This study investigates the impact of CEO power on circular economy disclosure (CED), highlighting the moderating role of institutional pressures on CEO discretion. The analysis draws on a sample of 8354 multinational companies from the Refinitiv database, covering the period 2013–2022. The sample includes companies from 74 countries and 11 economic sectors. By developing a novel indicator to measure CED, the research shows that CEO power negativ…
Value Creating Corporate Social Responsibility Strategies of Family and Non-Family Firms
This paper presents a study on how corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies create value amongst family and non-family firms. Additionally, in our study, we considered the moderating effect of independent directors on the relationship between CSR and firm value. Based on data drawn from companies operating in 61 countries over an 11-year period (i.e. from 2010 to 2020), our findings demonstrate that non-family firms derive market benefits…
Women in the C‐Suite and Carbon Mitigation Actions
Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 requires the implementation of ambitious policies and initiatives to reduce carbon emissions at the corporate level, which typically requires strong commitment from the top management team. This study examines to what extent greater female representation on top management teams leads to the development of a more advanced and integrated carbon reduction strategy, and how the context of crisis and uncertainty ari…
Women and circular transition in agri‐food industry
The agri‐food industry has a positive impact on society, providing a sustainable and high‐quality food source for the world's population. However, this industry has a significant impact on the environment, which is essential to know and understand. In this article, we explore the importance of the circular transition in the agri‐food industry and analyse the role that female directors, C‐suite executives or managers and employees play in it. For …
The benefits of climate tech
This study analyses the impact of investment in climate change mitigation innovations and technologies on companies, both from a financial and reputational viewpoint, as well as in terms of their environmental performance. We also investigate the moderating effect of institutional investors on the relationship between climate change mitigation investments and firm performance, considering their presence in shareholdings and their typology. We arg…
Women's management in local government
Spanish legislation on gender quotas in electoral candidate lists implies the effective incorporation of women into politics. This measure has created interest in the impact of this law on public service management (substantive representation), especially welfare services. This is due to the influence these services have on work‐life balance. Hence, the objective of this research is to determine the impact of women politicians on the efficiency o…
Linguistic ethnography and immigrant youth's social lives in the liminal interludes of schooling
In this paper, I examine how liminal spatio-temporal contexts both afford and constrain how immigrant children navigate their social lives in educational settings. Liminal schooling contexts have largely been unexamined in micro-ethnographic approaches to schooling, despite the potential of these contexts for illuminating the educational lives of youth. Shifting the ethnographic lens to the interactions occurring in seemingly liminal schooling co…
Labour Practice, Decent Work and Human Rights Performance and Reporting
This paper uses a sample of 1243 international firms for the period 2013–2017 to analyse the effect that a greater presence of women in management teams has on business behaviour in relation to labour and human rights, and the mediating role of improved performance in these rights on corporate transparency. The results show that gender diversity in management teams is positively associated with performance in relation to labour and human rights, …
Assurance of corporate social responsibility reports
Recent research shows the existence of a selective corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure strategy that creates a gap between CSR disclosure and actual performance. These CSR decoupling practices compromise the credibility of CSR reports and have triggered a demand for the adoption of credibility enhancement mechanisms, such as adherence to the global reporting initiative (GRI) reporting guidelines, and the external assurance of CSR rep…
Do codes of conduct really mean a change in corporate practices with regard to human rights? Evidence from the largest garment companies worldwide
Media coverage of abuse and human rights violations throughout global corporations’ value chains has focused stakeholders’ attention on these events leading global corporations to insert the human rights agenda into their social responsibility politics. Using media agenda setting theory and legitimacy theory, this paper focuses on the five largest garment companies worldwide (namely, Inditex, Primark, H&M, Gap Inc., and Fast Retailing) which betw…

The effect of institutional ownership and ownership dispersion on eco-innovation
Motherhood Across Borders
Oliveira’s ethnographic monograph, exploring how transnational Mexican families are able to sustain, nurture, and develop ties of kinship, care, and affection in the wake of maternal migration to the USA is a powerful and timely book. It lays bare, poignantly and compellingly, the complex chain reactions and ripple effects across time, space, and generations that migration sets in motion. While any work that holistically investigates the connecti…
Useful information for stakeholder engagement
The aim of this paper is to create an industrial corporate social responsibility practices index (ICSRPI) that allows us to determine the level of sustainable business commitment in the main industries. The ICSRPI allows simplification and quantification of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices; identification of those industries which present greater deficiencies in sustainability systems to facilitate the planning of various improveme…
Children as Interactional Brokers of Care
Bringing together ethnographic approaches to childhood, linguistic anthropology, and relational-feminist perspectives on care, this review focuses on the role of children as interactional brokers of care, a role that has been underappreciated. Building from the premise that, through language, children perform a fundamental form of other-oriented care-that of mediating another person's ability to express themselves-this review explores the materia…

Do electoral cycles affect local financial health
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the proximity to elections impacts on the financial health of local governments. This constitutes an original approach to understand the importance of monitoring politicians' actions, especially when elections are coming. Using a sample of 153 Spanish local governments for the period 1988–2008, we find the existence of an electoral cycle, since electoral proximity damages the financial health…
Do Electoral Risks Moderate the Effect of Partisan and Electoral Cycles on Debt-Financed Local Spending
Governments’ use of debt as a political instrument has been widely studied from the perspective of partisan and electoral cycles, mainly concerning central government. On the whole, previous studies have attempted to determine the effects of political ideology and the proximity of elections on the opportunistic use of public spending. The current study aims to broaden the scope of attention to the effect of partisan and electoral cycles on debt, …

Are determining factors of municipal E-government common to a worldwide municipal view? An intra-country comparison
Determinant factors in the degree of implementation of Local Agenda 21 in the European Union
The concern for sustainable development reached its greatest form of expression in what is known as the Brundtland Report; however, it was the Rio de Janeiro Conference of 1992 that created the foundations, through agreements such as Agenda 21. Though the success of Agenda 21 depends fundamentally on central governments, local administrations can play a decisive role, which is why European cities have taken on a serious commitment to enforce it b…

Is Local Financial Health Associated with Citizens' Quality of Life
The Relationship between Political Factors and the Development of E–Participatory Government
This article examines the determinants of the development of the e–participatory government in 189 countries selected by the United Nations for the e-Government Survey 2008. It examines the effect that the political system—features of the ruling party, interparty competition, voters, and interest groups—has on the development of e–participatory government. The authors' analysis indicates that given that politicians have the most say in the develo…

Efficiency Measurement in Spanish Local Government
In this work, we established a procedure for evaluation of the efficiency of the water supply. This procedure has allowed us to find that the proposed indicators have a discriminating capability in the analysis of the service, and to reject criticisms traditionally assigned to the sensitivity of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique in relation to degrees of freedom. The results obtained show that the population density, as a factor that …
