A conformal approach to Carroll gravity

Journal of High Energy Physics
We show how to take the first step in the conformal program for constructing general matter couplings to Carroll gravity. In particular, we couple a single massless electric/magnetic scalar to conformal Carroll gravity with isotropic dilatations and show

ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention paid by companies to sustainability, there is still evidence of environmental, social and governance (commonly referred to as ESG) scandals. As research on this topic is scant, this paper aims to analyse the impact of ESG controversies on firms' sustainability practices, that is, ESG policies, as well as ...

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.
