Among organizations and businesses, there has been a growing global attention on companies’ approach to climate change and sustainable development. Concurrently, the United States, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the intent to require publicly traded companies to disclose information on climate-related risks (SEC, 2022), signaling a need for carbon emission reporting integrated with financial statements. Accounting practitioners and educators are thus concerned with accounting students’ preparedness in developing skillsets that will meet the current demands for integrated reporting of climate-related and other sustainability or ESG mitigation measures (AAA, 2023). Despite this growing concern, few accounting cases address sustainability/ESG management. This case requires students to use data analysis to estimate the cost-benefit analysis across three variable costing budgets in a production cycle of a manufacturing plant while integrating the estimation of carbon emissions attributed to a number of products produced and sold. Students could synthesize relevant information on ESG issues related to production and make decisions on sustainable approaches to inventory production.

The benefits and costs of investing in finance-specific human capital are affected by subjective attitudes about the expected improvement in consumption from higher-quality financial decisions and the expected psychic costs of investing. This study investigates how gender role attitudes of women predict their acquisition of finance-specific human capital. Results indicate that women with the most traditional gender role attitudes are less financially literate than women with non-traditional gender role attitudes and men. Gender role attitudes formed early in life explain differences in financial literacy between men and women observed in prior studies. Multivariate analyses that control for attained human capital suggest that traditional gender role attitudes affect finance-specific human capital investment and investment in formal education. Women with traditional gender role attitudes are the least knowledgeable and have the lowest confidence in applying their financial knowledge.

Using recommendations and target prices on initial public offerings (IPOs), we examine the impact of regulations in the United States (US) and European Union (EU) markets that were aimed at curbing conflicts of interest in sell-side research. Conflicted analysts, proxied by whether their brokerage houses (henceforth brokers) acted as lead or co-managers in the IPO process, issued more optimistic recommendations in the US and EU markets in the pre-regulatory period. However, this extra optimism is absent after the adoption of regulations. A similar pattern emerges when examining the returns implied from US IPO target prices. Investors seem to capture the pattern, as they discount optimistic recommendations from conflicted analysts before, but not after, the new regulations. Using the staggered implementation of the new regulations—whereby US regulations take place strictly before any changes in the EU markets—we show that US brokers take the new modus operandi to Europe. In the time between the passage of US and EU regulations, US brokers in the lead role acted similarly in Europe to how they acted in the US. The EU brokers continued with their optimistic projections until the implementation of the local regulations.

Climate change has created several challenges worldwide, especially in developing countries. Recent research on community participation in efforts dealing with climate change indicates a promising direction for communities in developing countries to take. This research is based on the Green and Blue Quetta project, which was led by a resident and involved a team of dedicated volunteers concerned about the city’s deteriorating environment due to climate change. Actively seeking participation by residents by the Green and Blue Quetta team and meticulous planning resulted in 10,000 trees planted in and around the city and significantly increased the awareness of climate issues among residents. People of various backgrounds, especially children, received education on climate change and the ways individuals can make their contributions to deal with environmental challenges. It is suggested that the case provides lessons that have implications for future environmental efforts for communities in developing countries.

In more recent years Asia has had the highest level of investment in renewables and the highest level of electricity generation from renewable sources. This paper analyzes the determinants of renewable energy consumption in Asia and the Pacific from 1996 to 2018. It explores the major challenges this region has faced in moving towards a more environmentally friendly generation and use of energy. We find that the renewable electricity output, GDP per capita, merchandise trade, the value added of the manufacturing sector and the income share held by the poorest population boost renewable electricity consumption. On the other hand, energy use per capita, access to electricity, energy imports, broad FDI, population growth and the income share held by the richest population lower consumption of electricity from renewable sources. Trade openness and being an island do not seem to have a statistically significant impact in our sample over the observed period.

The fashion industry is renowned for its negative impact on the environment. To mitigate the adverse effect, some companies have recently adopted the circular economy model, which introduces used clothes in good condition back into the cycle through trade-in programs. Giving used garments a second life helps reduce the company’s carbon footprint and waste. It also provides consumers with an affordable and sustainable option, which is consistent with the growing trend of eco-conscious consumerism. In this study, we aim to explore consumers’ perceptions of trade-in programs in the fashion industry. We also examine how companies can leverage these programs as a powerful strategic tool to build brand trust and brand affect among younger generations (such as Gen Z and Millennials). This research draws upon different literature streams on signaling theory, brand trust, and brand affect. cResponsibility initiatives.

The Journal of Strategic Innovation and Sustainability takes a multi-disciplinary approach to address the many challenges of managing innovation and sustainability, rather than a narrow focus on a single aspect such as technology, R&D, or new product development. JSIS is inclusive & practical and encourages active interaction between academics, managers, and consultants. The scope encompasses innovation research, sustainability research, policy analysis, and best practices in large and small enterprises, public and private sector service organizations, state and national government, and local and regional societies and economies with special emphasis on linking academic research to future practice.

The rise in the capital allocated and investor focus attributed to ESG investing over the past several years has been significant. However, the current literature is not settled regarding the value that ESG risk measures and reporting has on investments and valuations. If this risk is essential, then this risk should be incorporated to account for the presence or the lack of ESG-related risk in valuation models. However, with the relative newness and difficulty of quantifying ESG risk, there is little practical guidance on incorporating this risk into valuation estimates. We provide evidence that ESG-related risk scores are positively associated with the cost of equity. Building upon that result, we operationalize the positive relationship to adjust the cost of equity in free cash flow to equity valuation models. Firms with higher ESG risk have a higher required return, while firms with lower ESG risk have a lower discount rate. Our approach is a practical guide for investors and analysts to account for ESG risk adjustments in valuation models.
