Complex Firms, Controversial Outcomes: Global Evidence on ESG Failures and Remedies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether business complexity increases firms' exposure to negative environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes, specifically ESG controversies, using a global panel of firms from 37 countries over the period 2002–2021.

Effect of perforated foil and polypropylene fibre covers on assimilation leaf area of early potato cultivars

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2007
This paper presents the results of a three-year research on the effect of perforated polyethylene foil and polypropylene fibre covering at various lengths of plant cover period (2 and 3 weeks after plant emergence) on the assimilation leaf area of early ...

Political Appointment of Executives, Green Action and Firm Performance: Evidence From the World Bank Enterprise Survey

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental sustainability and political influence increasingly shape corporate strategy, yet the link between politically appointed executives and firms' environmental actions remains underexplored. This study investigates whether political appointments to top executive positions influence the adoption of green action initiatives and how ...

Parsing the Relative Contributions of Leaf and Canopy Traits in Airborne Spectrometer Measurements

Remote Sensing
Forest canopy near-infrared reflectance and mass-based canopy nitrogen concentration (canopy %N) have been shown to be positively correlated. While the mechanisms underpinning this relationship remain unresolved, the broad range of wavelengths involved ...

Costly Signals and Cheap Talk: Measuring the Decoupling of ESG Routinisation and Greenwashing Risk

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenwashing is a systemic challenge to sustainable finance, yet prevailing ESG metrics still tend to equate more disclosure with more sustainability. We develop a dual‐index framework to compare firms' ESG ‘talk’ and ‘walk’ using hard data. An ESG Routinisation Index approximates the costly integration of sustainability into emissions, safety

Plant‐Derived Extracts Disrupt Biofilm Formation and Quorum Sensing in Yersinia enterocolitica: Insights From GC‐MS and Molecular Docking

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract represents how natural plant products that preferentially target the specific receptors of quorum sensing could be developed to combat biofilms linked to Yersinia enterocolitica using the potent abilities of protein–ligand complexes with high docking scores.

Fluorene‐based blue emitters: On the path to electrically pumped organic lasers

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Electrically pumped efficient operation remains unrealized, a major challenge in optoelectronics. Fluorene‐based blue‐emitting semiconductors are promising gain media, thanks to their structural tunability and favorable emission properties. This review summarizes recent advances, highlights their reliability and versatility in lasing, and outlines key ...

Estimating the crop leaf area index using hyperspectral remote sensing

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
: The leaf area index (LAI) is an important vegetation parameter, which is used widely in many applications. Remote sensing techniques are known to be effective but inexpensive methods for estimating the LAI of crop canopies. During the last two decades,

Effects of LED Light Exposure on Lutein and Bioactive Compounds in Nasturtium Flowers (Tropaeolum majus L.)

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Red LED supplementation during cultivation modulated the accumulation of bioactive compounds in Tropaeolum majus flowers. Moderate exposure (3–5 h) enhanced antioxidant capacity and increased carotenoids, phenolics, and anthocyanins depending on petal color, highlighting a simple strategy to improve the functional value of edible flowers. ABSTRACT This
