From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Modeling Wet-Snow Shedding from Current-Carrying Conductors [PDF]

open access: yes
The initiation of wet-snow shedding from currentcarrying conductors was studied experimentally and theoretically. A suspended cable with cylindrical snow accretion was considered, and some of the snow properties at the end of sleeve were measured and ...

CEO Managerial Ability and the Strategic Repetition of Climate Disclosures

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether CEO managerial ability shapes the repetition of firms' climate‐related disclosures in mandatory 10‐K filings. Climate reporting is highly judgment based and central to firms' broader climate‐risk management strategies, yet little is known about why some firms repeatedly use similar climate narratives and others ...

Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese
