What Drives CSR Performance: Structures, Declarations or Values?

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are increasingly central to strategic management, yet a gap persists between formal commitments and actual practice. The study explores the structural and value‐based predictors of the institutional integration of CSR and sustainability, with a focus on the mediating role of the CSR ...

Environmental Impacts of Light Sources in Buildings: Analysis of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in European Union

Buildings
Benchmark studies of the environmental impacts of buildings often overlook the contribution of lighting systems. This omission presents a significant knowledge gap, especially given the growing focus on energy-efficient technologies and sustainable building designs.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as a competitive parameter within sustainable buildings and building materials

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract The demand for technical and verified documentation of buildings and building materials is growing, along with the increasing focus on sustainability in the built environment. However, despite a common wish to build sustainably, it is still found that EPDs and LCAs are not always similarly interpreted, leading to ...

Dual‐Mode Electrophoretic Displays Enabled by Quantum Dot‐Decorated PR48:2 Pigment Particles and TiO2 for All‐Weather Visibility, Excellent Bistability, and Enhanced Readability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel quantum dot electrophoretic display (QDEPD), which combines electro‐controlled reflection and optically‐triggered emission to achieve efficient multi‐modal switching within a single pixel. By incorporating multi‐component nanostructures, the system enhances functional integration and multi‐modal response capabilities.

Doped Ta3N5 Semi‐Transparent Photoanode Enabling Stable Solar Redox Flow Cell Operation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Synergistic Al:TiO2 underlayer and La doping stabilize semitransparent Ta3N5 photoelectrodes for over 90 h of continuous operation in alkaline solution. The solar redox flow cell demonstrated 12 photocharge–discharge cycles at ∼55% coulombic efficiency using a K4Fe(CN)6|1,5‐DHAQ chemistry. Solar redox flow cells (SRFCs) are photoelectrochemical devices

Recommended Approach for Use of Cradle-to-Gate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in Procurement of Civil Infrastructure Materials

, 2023
Procurement of more environmentally sustainable materials for civil infrastructure can be supported using environmental product declarations (EPDs). An EPD is a standardized label that is a scientifically sound way to communicate the potential environmental impacts and selected resource use and waste production flows from all or part of the life cycle ...
