Assessing Climate Change Disclosure and Its Governance Drivers: Insights From the European Utilities Sector

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to enhance academic understanding of the factors influencing the disclosure practices of climate change among European utility companies, specifically in the context of their sustainability reporting. The primary objective is to explore, through a multi‐theoretical framework, the governance drivers that significantly affect the

Preliminary Appraisal of a Correlation Between Glaciations and Large Igneous Provinces Over the Past 720 Million Years

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 169-190., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Ethical Behaviour and Corporate Financing. The Case of ‘Legality Rating’

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The financial crisis has heightened awareness of ethical and legal issues in the business context. Corporate ethical behaviour is increasingly measured through sustainability ratings. Since 2012, in Italy, the introduction of a sustainability rating, namely the legality rating (LR), has served as an innovative ‘label’ for socially responsible ...

Fractional Almost Kahler - Lagrange Geometry

open access: yes, 2010
The goal of this paper is to encode equivalently the fractional Lagrange dynamics as a nonholonomic almost Kahler geometry. We use the fractional Caputo derivative generalized for nontrivial nonlinear connections (N-connections) originally introduced in ...

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

open access: yesCorporate 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‐

Caputo Barrier Functions and Their Applications to the Safety, Safety-and-Stability, and Input-to-State Safety of a Class of Fractional-Order Systems

open access: yesMathematics
Safety control based on barrier functions has gradually become one of the emerging and more important directions in the field of safety. Scholars are attempting to apply barrier functions to integer-order dynamical systems, such as general nonlinear ...
