“…Secondly, new R&D technologies can help companies better assume social responsibilities and improve their social responsibility. Responsibility performance [ [13]]. In addition, the increase of corporate green innovation is helpful for companies to establish a good corporate image, reduce corporate investment risks, and can help companies solve corporate governance problems in a timely manner [ [14]].…”

In order to achieve the goal of green economic development, the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of enterprises has gradually attracted the attention of organizations from all walks of life. Therefore, how to improve corporate ESG performance to achieve green economic transformation and improve sustainable development capabilities has become a key issue in theory and practice. Based on data from 724 listed companies in China from 2015 to 2021, this study systematically explores the impact of media attention on corporate ESG performance and the intermediary role of green innovation. Research shows that media attention has a positive impact on corporate ESG performance. The higher the media attention, the better the corporate ESG performance. In addition, green innovation plays a mediating role in the impact of media attention on corporate ESG performance.

“…Integrating biochar production and application in the ISI is not just a technologically challenged endeavor but also involves sailing through the relevant regulations and dealing with sustainability challenges (Campos and Assis 2021 ; Chang et al 2023 ). Environmental and regulatory difficulties are critical to evaluating the practical application of biochar and prolonging the viability of the business.…”

“…This is underpinned by its renewable nature, widespread availability, and versatile applicability (Hamidzadeh et al 2023 ; Tan 2023 ). Pursuing sustainable industrial practices incorporating innovation and environmental responsibility has recently become popular (Chang et al 2023 ; Simmou et al 2023 ). These two imperatives have sparked research into cutting-edge approaches that improve the efficiency and efficacy of industrial processes while reducing their adverse environmental effects (Le 2022 ).…”

Integrating innovation and environmental responsibility has become important in pursuing sustainable industrial practices in the contemporary world. These twin imperatives have stimulated research into developing methods that optimize industrial processes, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness while mitigating undesirable ecological impacts. This objective is exemplified by the emergence of biochar derived from the thermo-chemical transformation of biomass. This review examines biochar production methods and their potential applications across various aspects of the iron and steel industries (ISI). The technical, economic, and sustainable implications of integrating biochar into the ISI were explored. Slow pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization are the most efficient methods for higher biochar yield (25–90%). Biochar has several advantages- higher heating value (30–32 MJ/kg), more porosity (58.22%), and significantly larger surface area (113 m2/g) compared to coal and coke. However, the presence of biochar often reduces fluidity in a coal-biochar mixture. The findings highlighted that biochar production and implementation in ISI often come with higher costs, primarily due to the higher expense of substitute fuels compared to traditional fossil fuels. The economic viability and societal desirability of biochar are highly uncertain and vary significantly based on factors such as location, feedstock type, production scale, and biochar pricing, among others. Furthermore, biomass and biochar supply chain is another important factor which determines its large scale implementation. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities to reduce emissions from BF-BOF operations by utilizing biochar technologies. Overall, the present study explored integrating diverse biochar production methods into the ISI aiming to contribute to the ongoing research on sustainable manufacturing practices, underscoring their significance in shaping a more environmentally conscious future.

“…This study also used a comprehensive index of the average centrality measured by the four standard centralities using ordinal indicators 0-9 to convert the original data and then take the average value (Chen et al, 2014). A similar conversion, such as using ordinal indicators 1-10 transfers data and takes the sum of maximum, minimum, mean, and median values (Chang et al, 2023). Meanwhile, another comprehensive indicator PCA network is selected for robustness testing, calculated by the original data's first principal component (Godigbe et al, 2018).…”

This study examines the impact of the independent directors' social network on earnings management before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic increased uncertainty and pressure in the business environment, which led to intensified earnings management of listed companies worldwide. The research constructs centrality indexes of the independent director social network through the social network analysis method and conducts an empirical study on 1,167 A-share listed companies in China from 2009 to 2020. The relationship between independent directors' network centrality and accrual-based earnings management of companies is examined. Empirical results reveal that independent directors' network centrality is associated with higher accrued earnings management and undesirable corporate practices such as earnings management can be disseminated through directors' social networks. This research innovatively incorporates the research findings into the COVID-19 context, further indicating that independent directors' social network is associated with higher accrued earnings management during the COVID-19 period than before. This research will provide insights for regulators, specifically regulators in China, regarding the independent directors' composition and effectiveness.
