When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Automating Sustainability: How Climate Action Unlocks the ESG Potential of Industrial Robotics

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of Industry 4.0 and global sustainability goals presents a critical paradox: while automation drives efficiency, its net impact on comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance remains contested. This study investigates the relationship between industrial robot and country‐level ESG performance across 63

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.
