“…Some scholars believed that heavily polluting industries needed to comply with strict emission standards, which inevitably led to higher investment in technological improvement and innovation for pollution control (Li, He, Shao, & Chen, 2018;Yang, Tseng, & Chen, 2012). However, Li, Huang, Ren, Chen, and Ning (2018) argued that governance pressure was not the only driving force for technological innovation. Another reason for heavily polluting firms to actively engage in technological innovation was to make their EID more externally legitimate (Cho & Patten, 2007).…”

“…Through green innovation, firms build a routinized framework to report their carbon information, as well as establish capability to reduce their carbon footprints. Li et al () find a positive and statistically significant link between green innovation and corporate carbon disclosure in the CDP for a sample of Chinese firms. Moreover, Luo, Tang, and Lan () find that carbon disclosure propensity is correlated with higher levels of resource availability; this relationship is stronger in developing nations, suggesting that the shortage of resources is one reason for the lack of commitment to carbon mitigation by firms in these countries.…”

“…A rich business management literature examines the drivers of corporate participation in the CDP (Ben-Amar, Chang, & McIlkenny, 2015;Cotter & Najah, 2012;D'Amico, Coluccia, Fontana, & Solimene, 2016;Delgado-Márquez, Pedauga, & Cordón-Pozo, 2017;Freedman & Jaggi, 2011;Jira & Toffel, 2013;Kolk & Pinkse, 2007;Li, Huang, Ren, Chen, & Ning, 2018;Liao, Luo, & Tang, 2015;Luo, Tang, & Peng, 2018;Ott, Schiemann, & Günther, 2017;Peters & Romi, 2014;Reid & Toffel, 2009;Stanny, 2013), and an emerging literature evaluates the effects of voluntary carbon disclosures on financial outcomes and corporations' carbon footprints (Ben-Amar & Chelli, 2018;Doda, Gennaioli, Gouldson, Grover, & Sullivan, 2016;Hassan & Romilly, 2018;Jung, Herbohn, & Clarkson, 2018;Kim & Lyon, 2011;Lee, Park, & Klassen, 2015;Lemma, Feedman, Mlilo, & Park, 2019;Matisoff, 2012;Stanny & Ely, 2008). These literatures by and large underscore external factors, such as supply chain pressures, shareholder actions, and regulatory threats, including the threat of direct economic consequences, as drivers of proactive corporate disclosure of climate change strategies and GHG emissions.…”

“…On the other hand, legitimacy theory suggests that laggards, wary that their continued silence will be seen by stakeholders as having "something to hide" (Cerin, 2002, p. 61), are more likely to disclose their activities (Cho & Patten, 2007;Patten, 2002). In the context of reporting carbon-related data to the CDP, many studies find support for voluntary disclosure theory (e.g., Giannarakis, Zafeiriou, & Sariannidis, 2017;Giannarakis, Zafeiriou, Arabatzis, & Partalidou, 2018;Luo & Tang, 2014;), yet a few studies also find support for legitimacy theory (e.g., Li, Huang, Ren, Chen, & Ning, 2018;Luo, Tang, & Peng, 2018).…”
