Over the last few years, business management has become quite complex, leading to constant risks in the business context resulting from economies' globalization, not only by the frequent change in the organizations' proprietary structure, but also due to technological innovation and competitiveness in the global market. The sum of all the factors referred to above and the actual pandemic situation has substantially increased the level of risk in current or strategic management decisions taken within the scope of the organizations' activity. Thus, the aim of this research is to study the impact of EU funds on Portuguese companies by analyzing companies that have benefited from European incentives under the innovation incentive system, since it covers financing investments of global and strategic nature in productive areas. In this sense, the sample includes the companies that had projects approved in 2014 and aims to verify the impact of these incentives on the capacity of value creation, as well as on job creation and internationalization level in years of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

In recent years, the business environment has become increasingly complex, creating additional risks for companies to manage, resulting from globalization, technological innovation, market competitiveness, more demanding consumers, and changes in companies' ownership structure, presently also due to the pandemic situation. In dealing with this situation, EU funds should play an essential role. Thus, this research study aims to analyze the impact of EU funds on Portuguese companies, considering the companies that have benefited from European incentives under the Qualification and Internationalization Incentive System, since it is directed to financing investments in strategic areas to business success such as internationalization and innovation. Therefore, the sample includes the companies that had projects approved in 2015 and aims to show the impact of these incentives on value creation capacity, as well as employment and internationalization level in the years from 2016 to 2019.

Integrated reports combine financial and non-financial data into a comprehensive report outlining the company’s value creation process. Our objective is to find the completeness of disclosures, which is a crucial aspect of an integrated report’s quality. This study contributes to the integrated reporting examination by identifying quantitative and qualitative gaps when applying Integrated Reporting standards, focusing on the energy sector. We conducted the study on 57 published integrated reports of listed companies in Poland. The content of each report was examined for 49 features divided into eight areas. We identify the strengths and weaknesses of current reporting performance and the impact of the company’s sector on reports’ quality. We noted that there are significant differences among the areas. The major problems concern implementing IIRC’s framework on the connections between the business model and the organization’s strategy, risks, opportunities, and performance. Our research also noted that the level of specific disclosures might be related to a company’s ownership structure. We investigated the significance of differences among companies from the energy and non-energy sectors using statistical methods. As a result of the study, we obtained that disclosures’ completeness depends on the operation sector. The companies in the energy sector publish higher-quality integrated reports than companies in the other sectors.

To cope with climate change and achieve sustainable development, low-carbon city pilot policies have been implemented. An objective assessment of the performance of these policies facilitates not only the implementation of relevant work in pilot areas, but also the further promotion of these policies. This study uses A-share listed enterprises from 2005 to 2019 and creates a multi-period difference-in-differences model to explore the impact of low-carbon city pilot policies on corporate green technology innovation from multiple dimensions. Results show that (1) low-carbon city pilot policies stimulates the green technological innovation of enterprises as manifested in their application of green invention patents; (2) the introduction of pilot policies is highly conducive to green technological innovation in eastern cities and enterprises in high-carbon emission industries; and (3) tax incentives and government subsidies are important fiscal and taxation tools that play the role of pilot policies in low-carbon cities. By alleviating corporate financing constraints, these policies effectively promote the green technological innovation of enterprises. This study expands the research on the performance of low-carbon city pilot policies and provides data support for a follow-up implementation and promotion of policies from the micro perspective at the enterprise level.
