When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Performance of reinforced collapsible soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Geotechnical engineers face serious problems when construction sites contain collapsible soils, which are known by their strength when dry and experience sudden and excessive settlement when inundated. The amount of soil collapse depends on the extent of

Sustainable and Resilient Supply Networks: Digitalisation, Regulation and Climate Vulnerability in a Global Context

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing frequency of global crises has intensified concerns regarding climate vulnerability and the resilience of global production systems. This study examines the heterogeneous effects of supply chain development and supply chain digitalisation on climate vulnerability across countries, while accounting for institutional and investment ...

Do Commodity Prices and Energy Markets Drive Asymmetric Volatility in Biodiversity Finance?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines symmetric and asymmetric volatility spillovers among biodiversity finance, commodity prices, and energy markets using daily data from 2019 to 2025. We apply the Diebold–Yilmaz time–domain connectedness model, Baruník–Křehlík frequency–domain decomposition, and an asymmetric spillover framework.

Eco-Friendly Improvement of Comprehensive Engineering Properties of Collapsible Loess Using Guar Gum Biopolymer

open access: yesBuildings
Collapsible loess is characterized by its unique soil-forming environment, mineral composition, and microstructure, resulting in poor engineering properties such as high water sensitivity, high collapsibility, high compressibility, and low strength.

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Towards a Biodiversity Positive Business Strategy: The MCRV (Monitoring, Conserving, Restoring, Valorizing) Framework

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.
