Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Drivers of Sustainability Transitions in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Why One Size Does Not Fit All

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing emphasis on sustainability transitions in developing economies, evidence remains limited on how environmental, social and governance (ESG) conditions shape sustainability outcomes in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). This study examines the environmental, social and governance drivers of sustainability transition performance across 39 ...

Do Commodity Prices and Energy Markets Drive Asymmetric Volatility in Biodiversity Finance?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines symmetric and asymmetric volatility spillovers among biodiversity finance, commodity prices, and energy markets using daily data from 2019 to 2025. We apply the Diebold–Yilmaz time–domain connectedness model, Baruník–Křehlík frequency–domain decomposition, and an asymmetric spillover framework.
