This paper examines how Scope 3 emissions disclosure affects supply chain decarbonization. It empirically analyzes the link between corporate disclosure practices and emissions reduction efforts across the supply chain, with implications fo…

Alain Verbeke, Thomas Hutzschenreuter

This paper proposes a framework distinguishing between commitments imposed on firms for the long-term energy transition and those enacted internally. It argues that external pressure alone is insufficient; firms must integrate these commitm…

Using China’s Supply Chain Innovation and Application Pilot Policy as a quasi-natural experiment with a city-year panel of 279 cities (2005–2021), the study finds that supply chain digitalization reduces local urban pollutants and CO2 emiss…

Shanshan Zheng, N.A.K. Nandasena, Cheng Chen +1

Using OECD input-output data, this study estimates embodied carbon emissions in maritime transport across BRICS (1995–2018) under producer, consumer, and shared responsibility frameworks. China and South Africa show export-driven emissions,…
