Towards Credible GHG Reporting: The Role of GHG Assurance and Assurance Providers in Firm Valuation
The demand for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disclosures is rising globally; yet, the credibility of such information remains uncertain when assurance is not mandated. Drawing on a sample of firms from 43 countries, this study examines the role of GHG assurance and the choice of assurance provider in the market value effects of GHG emissions.

The Montreal Protocol is an international agreement designed to heal the ozone layer. It outlines schedules for the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), chlorinated solvents, halons, and methyl bromide.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has become a widely adopted sustainability reporting framework. This study aims to examine whether GRI reports can, should, and do address planetary boundaries. To do so, the study develops a framework and method to assess the extent to which planetary boundaries‐related information is captured in firms’ GRI ...

Healthcare systems contribute up to 5% of global GHG emissions, with inhalers contributing a proportion of these. The carbon footprint of current salbutamol inhalers (pMDI with HFA‐134a propellant and DPI) and a planned salbutamol pMDI with low‐GWP propellant HFA‐152a was quantified across seven countries.

ABSTRACT During and following the Covid‐19 pandemic, the European Union (EU) is taking first steps toward a European Health Union (EHU). There is no set definition of what an EHU is, but in this paper, we explore the popular support for different designs of an EHU, including a pillar in which healthcare policy competences are shared between the EU and ...

Ablation Properties of HfC–SiC–WC Ultra‐High Temperature Ceramics Produced by Pressureless Sintering
Schematic diagram highlighting the processes that occur during ablation testing of HfC–SiC and HfC–SiC–WC. ABSTRACT HfC–SiC is one of the leading thermal insulation ceramics that has the potential to perform well under high thermomechanical loads. In this study, we explore the use of pressureless sintering to produce this material at relatively low ...

ABSTRACT The atmospheric chemistry of 1,4‐difluorobutane (CFH2CH2CH2CFH2) was investigated through a kinetic and mechanistic study of the reaction with chlorine (Cl) atoms and hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and relative rate methods, the rate constants (k) for the reactions were determined at 298 ± 2 K as k(

Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not
