ESG Assurance and Dividends: Evidence From 18 Countries in Africa

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) assurance on a firm's dividend payout policies within the unique African context. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model, this study examines how voluntary third‐party assurance of ESG reports influences firms' dividend payout policies compared to ...

A Business Framework for Product Take‐Back—A Structured Multiple‐Case Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The potential of take‐back systems remains largely unrealized as initiatives have proven difficult to implement in practice. The question is why we do not see more take‐back systems given the substantial environmental benefits. We try to understand the challenges and stumbling blocks in setting up take‐back from a business perspective.
