The Evolution and Integration of ESG Reporting: A Framework for Sustainable Business Accountability
ABSTRACT This study examines how multinational corporations incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting frameworks to foster trust, enhance legitimacy, and move beyond mere symbolic disclosure. A qualitative comparison of Microsoft and Unilever from 2020 to 2023 assesses how both firms integrate leading standards, including GRI ...

Supramolecular Host‐Guest Complexation Dynamics by Cost‐Efficient Electronic Structure Methods
We present a cost‐effective multilevel workflow for the kinetic profiling of host–guest systems, illustrated with cucurbit[6]uril and alkylammonium cations. The method combines rapid docking and reaction path searches at the semi‐empirical level, with refinement of the results using modern density functional theory, accurately reproducing experiment ...

Solvent effects: vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) revealed pronounced solvent‐induced conformational shifts for a tetradentate salen ligand in CDCl3, a solvent generally considered benign. Contrary to the DFT prediction of a single dominant conformer family, quantum cluster growth together with the genetic algorithm guided VCD analysis uncovered ...
