“…This measure has been the focus of other research on investment strategies based on discriminating between green and brown firms, and on asset managers’ exclusionary screening policies (e.g., Garvey, Iyer, and Nash (2018), and Cheema‐Fox et al. (2021)), but when it comes to carbon‐transition risk, carbon intensity does not directly capture the transition effort of a firm to attain net zero. As we have pointed out in the introduction, a reduction in emission intensity does not necessarily correspond to a reduction in total emissions.…”

The energy transition away from fossil fuels exposes companies to carbon‐transition risk. Estimating the market‐based premium associated with carbon‐transition risk in a cross section of 14,400 firms in 77 countries, we find higher stock returns associated with higher levels and growth rates of carbon emissions in all sectors and most countries. Carbon premia related to emissions growth are greater for firms located in countries with lower economic development, larger energy sectors, and less inclusive political systems. Premia related to emission levels are higher in countries with stricter domestic climate policies. The latter have increased with investor awareness about climate change risk.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

“…Particularly, standardized metrics estimating sustainability benefits are still an open issue [58], since different frameworks exist simultaneously without integration [59]. Different metrics affect the assessment of environmental sustainability benefits and company performance both for internal managers and external investors [60][61][62][63]. We found a gap in the current research on environmental sustainability, which urges to deepen the exploration of the standardization and harmonization of common metrics in the supply-chain [64], a fundamental factor to enhance efficient supply-chain integration [65].…”

Climate change policies are affecting the economic and structural viability of European Union (EU) industries, particularly in the energy-intensive sector, with very challenging goals of EU Agenda 2030 in terms of CO2 reductions and energy efficiency. This ecological transition can be supported by the employment of innovative technologies, enabling production process efficiency, resource optimization and supply-chain integration. Nevertheless, it is still empirically unclear how energy-intensive industries will complete their ecological transition successfully, especially in terms of achieving environmental sustainability practices within the organization and in the supply-chain without endangering their economic availability. Moreover, the assessment of environmental sustainability performance is still not a unique standard framework, causing loss of transparency and traceability towards internal and external stakeholders, such as managers, investors and business partners. With 20 qualitative interviews of customers and experts of a company leader in the steel construction sector in Italy and Germany, the Feralpi Group, this paper explores the implications of strategic environmental sustainability indicators, which can transparently assess company performance. Preliminary results underline how shared standardized indicators are fundamental for a tighter supply-chain integration, giving impulse and significance to the steel producers’ efforts for environmental sustainability excellence. Future research should further investigate the connection between environmental sustainability strategies and performance indicators for a more integrated sustainability framework.

“…In modern conditions of influence of decarbonization trends [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], significant attention is still paid to mining of minerals, especially in the context of deteriorating mininggeological conditions [10], [11], [12], which corresponds to the scientific needs of the world economy. There is also a gradual shift from metallic materials to composite plastics, which is conditioned by the greater lightness and plasicity of the latter.…”

This paper studies a new composite materials based on carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, which is planned to be used for supporting the preparatory workings when mining the coal at depths of more than 1000 meters. The composite material made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic has sufficient lt high physical-mechanical properties, which are even higher than that of low-alloy steel used as the main material for supporting in coal mines. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the model of support (arched three-link) and determine its rational parameters. The calculation of the stress-strain state around mine working, using the support made of composite materials, has been perfomed based on the method of finished elements in the Solid Works software product. In addition, a model of the support for coal mines has been developed on a 3D-printer. This made it possible to conduct additional research on the interaction of the support with the rock mass. Using the Solid Works software, a detailed modeling of the composite supporting system has become possible. The stress-strain state of the rock mass has revealed that support can be used to improve the strength characteristics and prevent uneven pressure distribution around mine workings. A support made of composite materials contributes to the introduction of resource-saving technologies in the mining industry.
