This study demonstrates that kaolin clay can be converted into high-performance LTA zeolite for CO2 capture, achieving record adsorption capacities across a wide concentration range (from ambient air to flue gas) with excellent cycling stab…

D. M. Kinyua

This exploratory study analyzes the influence of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on ESG risk management strategies of five leading companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Findings indicate that whil…

G. Ormazabal

This paper examines mechanisms for generating trust in sustainability reporting, arguing that credibility requires a village of stakeholders (boards, capital providers, regulators, etc.) each contributing through different channels. It iden…

B. Solikhah, Ching‐Lung Chen, Pei‐Yu Weng

This study examines how governance strength, financial pressure, and family control influence ESG reporting biases (overstatement and understatement). Strong governance reduces greenwashing, while high short-term financing risk increases it…

Andrea Appolloni, G. Scandurra, A. Thomas

This study evaluates banks' non-financial disclosure by examining ESG practices and adherence to integrated reporting. Using NLP methods including cosine similarity and clustering, it finds high ESG disclosure but weak consistency with inte…

This study examines the impact of the ESG Guide revision on disclosure quality among Hong Kong listed companies. Using manual evaluations of 1,529 firms for 2019 and 2020, it finds that overall ESG disclosure quality improved slightly after…

K. Kanimozhi, C. Vethirajan

This study examines the relationship between ESG disclosure levels and corporate accountability among listed companies using statistical methods and SEM. Results show that increased ESG disclosure positively affects corporate accountability…

Shaoyu Han, Yeng Wai Lau, Saidatunur Fauzi Saidin

This paper examines the impact of ESG disclosure on market value and investor behavior in agribusiness. Using a 5-year panel of 150 firms, it finds that a one-point increase in ESG disclosure score raises market capitalization by $0.45 bill…

M. Noor, M. Sari

This study examines how financial leverage and ESG disclosure influence greenwashing in Indonesian energy sector companies. Results show that high leverage reduces greenwashing due to creditor pressure, while ESG disclosure actually encoura…

Musmailina Mustafa Kamal, Nurul Azlin Azmi, Rahimah Mohamed Yunos +2

This study analyzes ESG disclosure trends in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand from 2015 to 2023. Indonesia leads in social and governance pillars but not environmental. Disclosure increased across all countries after 2019, drive…

Erpina Simbolon, Abraham Patayoan, Billy Ivan Tansuria

This study examines the impact of ESG disclosure on stock performance in Indonesia, with growth opportunities as a mediator. Using PLS-SEM on listed industrial firms, it finds that ESG disclosure has no significant direct or indirect effect…

Hien Thu Thi Nguyen

This study examines the impact of ESG disclosure on the performance of 20 firms listed on the Vietnam Sustainability Index from 2016 to 2023. Using GMM estimation, it finds that higher ESG scores are associated with lower ROA and Tobin's Q,…

P. Kien

This study analyzes Vietnam's legal framework for ESG disclosure by listed companies, finding it fragmented, lacking quantitative standards, independent assurance, and deterrent sanctions. It recommends aligning with international standards…
