The Relationship

This paper aims to reflect on the relationship between corporate governance and sustainability. Specifically, it aims to gain insights into the relationship between board structure, disclosure, related party transactions, shareholder rights, and board procedure and sustainability performance – economic performance, environmental performance and social equity performance - for the companies in the Indian Electricity Generating Industry. For the study, 286 companies from among the 402 companies listed in CMIE – PROWESS database for the industry were targeted. Although the aim was to take data from all 402 companies, complete data on the directors were available for only 286 companies from the Registrar of Companies. The study covers detailed analysis of corporate governance in these companies based on established theory and the structure of sustainability established. In the end, the positive relationships are summarized and implications for theory are discussed.

In recent years, the importance of corporate environmental responsibility has gradually become more prominent. This study combines the Slack-based Measurement (SBM) model with the “Super-efficiency” model to construct an environmental performance evaluation based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is used to measure the environmental performance of China’s large iron and steel enterprises from 2009 to 2017. Moreover, the impact of environmental performance on enterprise economic performance is studied by regression analysis. The results show that that environmental performance and economic performance of large iron and steel enterprises in China are in an inverted U-shaped relationship. This encourages enterprises to be proactive in environmental management to maintain and enhance their competitive edge. Therefore, this research suggests that iron and steel enterprises should balance the relationship between environmental performance and economic performance, and adopt environmental protection behaviors to carry out production and operation, to maximize enterprise performance.

Abstract In recent years, people have realized the importance of corporate environmental responsibility. In this study, we combine the Slack-based Measurement (SBM) model with the "Super-efficiency" model to construct the environmental performance evaluation based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the environmental performance of China's large iron and steel enterprises from 2009 to 2017. Then, it studies the impact of environmental performance on enterprise economic performance through regression analysis. The results show that the impact of environmental performance of China's large iron and steel enterprises on economic performance shows an inverted U-shaped relationship. The conclusion is helpful to encourage enterprises to actively carry out environmental management, so as to maintain and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, this paper suggests that iron and steel enterprises should balance the relationship between environmental responsibility and economic performance in order to maximize enterprise performance. The main purpose of this paper is to let enterprises solve the negative externalities in production through internalization, and encourage enterprises to adopt environmental protection behavior for production and operation.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) on the environment and green economic performance with the moderator prediction context, which is a very fundamental approach for developing stronger theories. The writers chose green technology as a unique moderator in the context of GSCM practices and performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of moderating effects of green technology in investigating the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and firm performance (environmental and green economic performance). By employing survey methodology using a purposive sampling technique, the data collected from 96 respondents in various manufacturing firms. The hypotheses were tested through SEM-PLS using SmartPLS. The further results show that the results of hypothesis testing indicate that GSCM practices (GSCM) have a positive and significant effect on environmental performance (EP) and green economic performance (GEP). The study also found that the role of green technology as a moderating variable can strengthen the positive relationship between GSCM Practices and environmental performance. While the moderation effect of Green technology (GT) can weaken the positive relationship between GSCM Practices and green economic performance (GEP).

The purpose of the study is to develop a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to estimate the relative scale efficiency of platinum-mining companies environmental performance. South African platinum-mines were used to demonstrate the model, which uses environmental performance indicators as the input variables in order to generate mineral extraction and financial performances as the output variables. The input variables considered were greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and energy usage, while the output variables were platinum production, return on equity and return on assets. The contribution of the study is that a DEA model was developed that could identify relatively efficient companies that could act as benchmarks with regard to environmental issues in the mining sector. A further contribution is that the study concluded that platinum-mining companies tend not to achieve economies of scale, where the companies that are relatively larger in size tend to operate on a scale that is too large and companies that are physically relatively smaller in size tend to operate on a scale that is too small.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interdependence among dimensions of sustainability, i.e. economic, social and environmental performance, this study focuses on leading states of the Indian leather Industry. Design/methodology/approach This study followed exploratory research where partial least square (PLS) based structural equation modeling has been used. The states have been selected based on judgmental sampling. The study used unit level data for the leading states of Indian leather Industry − namely, Tamil Nadu (TN), West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. The study has used Annual Survey of Industry data from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012. The proposed hypotheses have been tested using WarpPLS 5.0 software. Findings The structural equation analysis of unit-wise leather industry data supports a significant bi-directional negative relationship between social performance and economic performance among all the selected states. In contrast, the relationship between economic performance and environmental performance, as expected and supported by many existing theories, has shown a bidirectional positive relationship. However, the relationship between social and environmental performance has shown quite mysterious and mixed trends. TN has depicted significantly negative coefficients, which could be attributed to higher pressure for environmental compliance that might have led to a trade-off between the two to gain cost competitiveness. Research limitations/implications Unavailability of data for many critical indicators is the biggest limitation of this study. Originality/value The sustainability framework proposed in this work is an original contribution of authors to the existing literature. Moreover, this study on the Indian leather industry fills the gap and resolves the mystery of interconnection among the dimensions of sustainability.

Purpose of this study: This study examines the relationship between environmental performance and the extent of environmental disclosure. Methodology: The sample of this study consists of 35 high profile companies. The environmental performance is measured based on the results of the assessment of PROPER and the extent of environmental disclosure index by using GRI checklist items. This research applies content analysis, descriptive, and inferential statistical analyses. Main Findings: The result shows that the extent of environmental disclosure, on an average is low (22.5%). Mining companies provide the highest environmental disclosure (58.2%) followed by chemicals (21.4%), utilities (19.0%), pulp and papers (16.5%), industrial (11.0%), and oil and gas (4.2%). The analysis also presents that environmental performance does not affect the level of environmental disclosure. Implications: This result suggests that high environmental performance may not encourage companies to communicate more environmental issues. This finding indicates that motivation for a company to disclose environmental information is not always based on the legitimacy perspectives, but might be an accountability form.
