When Sustainability Reporting Becomes a Strategy: The Impact of Financial Performance and Institutional Pressures From EU Sustainability Reporting Regulations on ESG Decoupling

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitigating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) decoupling is essential to advancing reliable sustainability disclosure and ensuring that ESG reporting fulfills its intended purpose. This study aims to provide critical insights into the organizational and contextual elements that could intensify or diminish ESG decoupling. Using a multi‐

The Ecological U‐Turn in Nordic Forestry: Policy Learning, Measurement, and the Retrenchment of Ecological Ambitions

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, environmental policy has shifted toward ecosystem protection and biodiversity conservation, a development often described as an ecological turn. This article argues that in practice this turn has taken the form of an ecological “U‐turn,” as environmental ambitions are subordinated to production‐oriented objectives.
