Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Board Structure and ESG Outcomes: A Comprehensive Review and Pathways for Future Research

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study provides a comprehensive systematic review of 265 scholarly articles that examine the relationship between board diversity and environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. The analysis critically maps existing research and identifies key thematic trends, revealing that most studies focus on gender and independence while ...

Can Private Equity Deliver on Its Societal Ambitions? What We Know and Don't Know About Environmental, Social, and Governance Factor Integration in Private Equity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Private equity (PE) firms increasingly integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions and raise impact funds to address sustainability challenges. We review and integrate the growing body of literature on why, when, and how PE fund managers incorporate ESG factors into their investment strategies and ...

Colorimetric Chemical Differentiation and Detection of Phosphorus in Eutrophic and High Particulate Waters: Advantages of a New Monitoring Approach

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Phosphorus (P) is a key factor forcing eutrophication in limnic and marine systems, and all monitoring programs for water quality accordingly include P determinations. However, traditional monitoring does not allow an analysis of the different components

Changing Salinity Gradients in the Baltic Sea As a Consequence of Altered Freshwater Budgets

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Climate change is expected to enhance the hydrological cycle in northern latitudes reducing the salinity in the Baltic Sea, a land‐locked marginal sea with a large catchment area located in northern Europe.

Durable Fuel Cell Cathode Enabled by Pt Embedded Nanoscale Carbon Network via a Scalable Process

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Platinum nanoparticles embedded nanoscale carbon network (Pt‐e‐Cn) are developed via a scalable flame spray pyrolysis process. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) employing mesoporous Pt‐e‐Cn cathode electrocatalysts exhibit exceptional durability without compromising performance.

From Custom to Court: The Evolution of Mediation in European Legal Systems

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article traces how European mediation has repeatedly rebalanced three variables—(1) the source of mediator authority, (2) the degree of institutionalization, and (3) the operative meaning of voluntariness—from antiquity to the present. Using three periods—Proto‐Mediation (c. 500 BCE–c. 1750), Classical Mediation (c.

Major engineering breakthrough of Well XA‐1, the deepest ten‐thousand‐meter well in a global sedimentary basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Well XA‐1, completed at a true vertical depth of 11 156 m in the Shawan Sag of the Junggar Basin, is the deepest predominantly near‐vertical well drilled in a sedimentary basin. The figure shows the basin's tectonic framework and well location (a), a structural cross‐section spanning the Shawan Sag and adjacent uplifts (b), and the stratigraphic column

Characterization of river plume dynamics for a better water quality management

Frontiers in Marine Science
Excessive riverine nutrient inputs are a main driver of eutrophication in marine waters. Thus, identifying areas most affected by river plumes is a key challenge for effective water quality management.
