The Effect of Company Ownership on the Environmental Practices in the Supply Chain: An Empirical Approach
by Liliana Rivera, Norma Ortiz, Gabriel Moreno and Iliana Páez-Gabriunas

Investors are increasingly drawn to ESG-based investing because they seek well-run businesses, believing that companies integrating ESG factors are better managed. However, the impact of company ownership on environmental performance remains unclear. This study aims to address this gap by examining the relationship [...] Read more.
Investors are increasingly drawn to ESG-based investing because they seek well-run businesses, believing that companies integrating ESG factors are better managed. However, the impact of company ownership on environmental performance remains unclear. This study aims to address this gap by examining the relationship between company ownership and company interest in measuring the environmental impact of its supply chains, as the environmental aspect is directly linked to supply chain activities and has quantifiable measures. Using random effects ordered logistic regression on panel data from 2017 to 2022 for 2811 companies, we show that companies with long-term investment sources demonstrate a greater interest in measuring environmental variables in their supply chain compared to those financed with short-term investments. Sovereign wealth funds and other long-term investment sources exhibit a positive and significant correlation with higher utilization of ESG indicators in the supply chain. These findings suggest that policymakers and private companies aiming to enhance sustainability should prioritize longer-term investment sources, which display stronger commitments to sustainability and ESG practices and are more likely to use environmental initiatives in their supply chains.

This research investigates the dynamic interplay between financial technology, information and communication technology, energy consumption, and economic growth on environmental sustainability within Emerging and Growth-Leading Economies (EAGLEs) from 2005 to 2020. Utilizing advanced econometric techniques, such as Fully Modified Least Squares (FMOLS) and Vector Autoregressive Error Correction Model (VECM), the investigation scrutinizes the hypothesized relationships among these variables. Panel unit root tests were deployed to assess stationarity, while panel least squares methodology was employed to determine the presence of co-integration among the variables under study. The analysis reveals that internet usage, GDP, and renewable energy consumption exhibit a notable influence in diminishing CO2 emissions within EAGLE economies. Additionally, the findings substantiate the existence of long-term causality originating from these variables and impacting CO2 emissions. Conversely, the role of ATM networks in CO2 emissions remains ambiguous, implying that financial technology’s influence on environmental sustainability is inconclusive. Consequently, the research posits that environmental sustainability in EAGLE economies is chiefly determined by factors such as internet usage, economic expansion, and renewable energy consumption, with financial technology demonstrating no discernable impact. In light of these findings, the study advocates for the reevaluation and adaptation of existing policies and strategies to account for shifting climatic conditions. By doing so, decision-makers can better align their efforts with the pursuit of environmental sustainability in the context of rapidly evolving economies. Full article

Taking the innovation policy pilot of the national independent innovation demonstration zone (NIIDZ) as a quasi-natural experiment, we select a set of data covering 283 cities in China from 2004 to 2016 to empirically test the impact and mechanism of NIIDZ on urban green total factor productivity (GTFP) by using a progressive difference-in-differences (DID) model. The research indicates that the NIIDZ policy pilot can effectively help promote the growth of urban GTFP; talent agglomeration and local fiscal expenditure on science and technology are important channels for the policy to promote urban GTFP. Various methods have proved the reliability of our research results. Further, affected by geographical location, resource endowment and population size, the pilot effects of the NIIDZ also demonstrate regional heterogeneity. Our study provides a useful supplement for innovation policy evaluation from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Full article
