Integrated Life-Cycle and Multi-objective Optimization of Recycled Concrete with Rubber Particles and Recycled Coarse Aggregate for Low-Carbon Construction

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
The construction sector, as a major source of carbon emissions, must transition to low-carbon materials to achieve dual-carbon targets. Rubber recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RRAC), which replaces natural aggregates with waste tires and demolition ...

The Moral Manager in the Market: How CFOs' Ethical Intelligence Drives ESG Investment in Emerging Economies' Dual Markets

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What propels a CFO in an emerging economy to champion ESG investments when formal regulations are weak? Moving beyond structural explanations, we provide a behavioural account arguing that a manager's internal ethical compass—moral intelligence (MI)—is a key driver.

Impact of Aging and Low Temperatures on the Mechanical Properties of Low-Cost Seismic Isolator Prototypes

Buildings
Seismic isolation systems are an effective passive protection strategy that decouples structures from ground motion. Their performance depends heavily on the elastomeric materials used, which must retain mechanical integrity under environmental stressors.

The Sustainability Blind Spot in Manufacturing SMEs: A Contingency Perspective on Performance Measurement

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring sustainability performance is crucial for small and medium‐sized manufacturing enterprises and sustainability indicators must be incorporated into decision‐making. However, companies tend to measure only the aspects that interest them, disregarding those considered less strategic or relevant.

Industrial Symbiosis as a Neglected Opportunity in Industrial Decarbonisation Pathways: Qualitative Insights From the Australian Manufacturing Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial symbiosis (IS) represents a key strategy for industrial decarbonisation (ID) by converting one industry's waste into valuable inputs for another, reducing emissions and resource extraction. Scientific studies have explored the concept, implementation approaches and theoretical foundations of IS.

Carbon Markets and Green Innovation: Path‐Dependent Firm Responses to Emissions Trading

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper identifies a dynamic boundary condition of the Porter hypothesis by examining how firms' pre‐existing innovation trajectories shape regulatory‐induced green innovation within the context of a market‐based carbon policy. Building on path dependency theory, we argue that firms' responses to environmental regulation are contingent on ...
