Environmental Management Accounting in Private Hospitals: Navigating Competing Strategic Priorities for Sustainable Decision‐Making

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental management accounting (EMA) is increasingly recognised as essential for carbon governance, accountability and net zero transitions, yet research has overlooked how sustainability is negotiated within mission‐driven but commercially exposed service organisations such as private hospitals in developing economies, a sector often ...

Digital Orientation and Green Practices in Chilean SMEs: Innovation as the Pathway to Competitive Performance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how digital strategic orientation (DSO) and environmental practices (EP) interact to shape innovation and performance among Chilean SMEs. Using survey data from 271 firms (February–May 2022), we estimate a generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) model that accommodates a nonrecursive relationship between DSO and EP.

Evaluating the Impact of Sustainability on the Financial Value of Brands: Activity‐Based or Customer Perception Metrics?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability is widely framed as strategic, yet its relationship with financial brand value remains contested. We explain why prior research reports divergent results by distinguishing between activity‐based ESG metrics and customer perception‐based sustainability metrics and by theorising how each activates different value‐creation ...

Water Budgets in Ecosystems

2016
Water is the foundation of all ecosystems, whether terrestrial or aquatic. In terrestrial ecosystems freshwater not only provides critical water supply for transpiration during plant photosynthesis and drinking water for animals, but also transports, redistributes and stores energy, nutrients and contaminants.

The Water Budget

2016
The components of the water balance (infiltration, deep percolation, evaporation from the soil surface, etc.) determine the amount of water available to the crop. Water flow in the soil occurs following the gradient of water potential and can be analyzed by the Richards equation, but there are simpler alternative methodologies to quantify the water ...

Water Resources and Water Budgeting

2011
This chapter presents a catchment-wise water resource analysis of the Yamuna River basin. Both surface and ground water resources are included. Over-exploitation of ground water resources is causing persistent lowering of the water table in the basin. This major issue is discussed using the indicator of the stage of ground water development.

Water Budget Measurement

2012
Performing a water budget on a stormwater treatment practice is often necessary when assessing a practice. A water budget measures or estimates all the flow rates entering and exiting the practice as a function of time and/or the total water volumes entering and exiting the practice through various pathways. If all pathways are measured accurately, the

Phosphorus and Water Budgets in an Agricultural Basin

Environmental Science & Technology, 2014
Water and phosphorus (P) budgets of a large agricultural basin located in South Florida (Everglades Agricultural Area, EAA) were computed from 2005 to 2012. The annual surface outflow P loading from the EAA averaged 157.2 mtons originating from Lake Okeechobee (16.4 mtons, 10.4%), farms (131.0 mtons, 83.4%), and surrounding basins (9.8 mtons, 6.2 ...

The Urban Water Budget

2009
In this chapter our goal is to highlight some of the many ways that urbanization affects the water budget and water cycle. A water budget describes the stores or volumes of water in the surface, subsurface and atmospheric compartments of the environment over a chosen increment of time.

Water Budget and Dissolved Load

1991
The mean effective precipitation in the 50-year period between 1921 and 1970 is 698 mm/a, the mean evaporation rate 48.6%. This results in an average annual runoff of 1278x 106 m3. The mean mineralization of the river waters is 322.6 ppm after the summer period and 221.4 ppm in late winter, 250 ppm being a reliable mean.
