Turning Carbon Into Cash? Cross‐Country Evidence on the Profitability of Emission Reductions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does corporate CO2 abatement pay? We assembled an international panel of listed firms (2019–2023), linking Scope 1–2 emissions to institutional (G7, CCPI) and search‐based attention measures. The dataset consists of an unbalanced panel of 1724 multinational firms, together with a sub‐sample of 922 firms operating in G7 economies. Firm and time

Do Governance Structures Drive Green Building Adoption? A Machine Learning Approach With Random Forests

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the determinants of firms' propensity to adopt green buildings in the Euro Stoxx 300 and the S&P 500 indices, during 2012–2023. Using random forest binary classifiers, we assess the relative importance of financial, sectoral, geographic, and climate governance predictors and uncover nonlinear relationships often overlooked ...

The Contingent Eco‐Innovation–Firm Performance Link: A Global Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between eco‐innovation (EI) and firm performance (FP) is central to environmental management research, yet empirical evidence remains fragmented and highly context dependent. This article presents a global systematic literature review (SLR) of 541 empirical studies (2006–April 2025) to (i) diagnose the systematic sources of ...
