“…Environmental disclosure was analysed through ESG disclosure (McBrayer, 2018), sustainability reporting (Gavana et al, 2016), reporting assurance (Al‐Shaer & Zaman, 2019) and sustainability reporting style (Lopatta et al, 2022). Lastly, CEO characteristics included demographic characteristics such as age (Oware & Awunyo‐Vitor, 2021), background (Adomako & Amankwah‐Amoah, 2021), duality (Rezaee et al, 2020), experience (Shahab et al, 2020), gender (Aabo & Giorici, 2022) and political connections (Huang et al, 2021), as well as psychological characteristics like emotional intelligence (Ezzi et al, 2023), narcissism (Lin et al, 2022), humility (Sun et al, 2021), reflective capacity (Jia et al, 2021) and overconfidence (Lee, 2021).…”

Environmental sustainability has gained significant importance for organizations, highlighting the crucial role of business leaders in addressing environmental degradation. However, the connection between chief executive officer (CEO) characteristics and environmental sustainability remains understudied in academic literature. Understanding this relationship is crucial, considering the significance of environmental sustainability in organizational strategies. This paper presents the first systematic literature review (SLR) on this topic, aiming to identify gaps and opportunities for future research. The SLR analysed 139 studies on the CEO–environmental sustainability relationship. The findings indicate a recent increase in research activity, particularly peaking in 2022 and focusing on China and the United States. Most studies employed upper echelons theory and examined the influence of CEO demographic characteristics on environmental performance. However, less attention has been given to CEO psychological traits, such as personality and ethical leadership, and environmental disclosure. Furthermore, qualitative aspects of environmental disclosure, including reporting tone, readability and specificity, have received less attention. The findings offer valuable insights for academics, practitioners and policymakers. Recommendations for future research include exploring the impact of CEO psychological traits and environmental disclosure on a firm's environmental sustainability. Additionally, studying cross‐country and cross‐industry differences in this relationship is encouraged. This study makes a significant contribution to the field by shedding light on the crucial and relevant topic of environmental sustainability and its association with CEO characteristics, providing valuable insights to guide future research and inform decision‐makers.

“…Ecofeminism can help minimize the likelihood of conflict and promote peace by recognizing and resolving these challenges. [89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96] Ecofeminism also contributes to peace by addressing patriarchal practices that perpetuate gender-based violence and fuel conflict. Patriarchal standards, for instance, frequently perpetuate the subordination of women and marginalize their views and perspectives in decision-making processes, especially in the context of conflict resolution.…”

Ecofeminism is a political and social movement that emphasizes the link between women's oppression and environmental degradation. This viewpoint asserts that patriarchal structures and the dominance of nature are intrinsically intertwined and that the liberation of women and the environment must come simultaneously. While ecofeminism presents an important critique of current society, it is not the only lens through which to evaluate the relationship between environmental degradation and social justice.

“…The impact of internet penetration on government environmental protection expenditures has been explored, shedding light on various environmental policy issues [16]. Furthermore, studies have analyzed the influence of CEO beliefs on corporate sustainability expenditure, offering implications for sustainability literature and practices [17]. The nature and extent of strategic interactions in environmental expenditures among OECD countries have also been discussed, highlighting the significant positive spatial dependence that suggests neighboring countries' behavior influences the choice of environmental expenditure policies [18].…”

In recent years, more and more research has focused on the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on business activities. Due to the existence of two different theoretical perspectives, shareholder value theory and managerial opportunism theory, the research on CSR has reached different conclusions. Meanwhile, the motivations for environmental investments in enterprises have received attention from scholars. However, there is a lack of empirical research on the relationship between CSR and environmental investment. Therefore, this study conducts a regression analysis on the external evaluation of CSR and enterprises’ environmental investment using data from Chinese listed companies. The empirical results show a significant positive relationship between the external evaluation of CSR and enterprises’ environmental investment. The mediating tests conducted based on information transmission and resource acquisition mechanisms explain the reasons for this promotion effect, supporting the shareholder value theory. Furthermore, our research finds that this promotion effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises, enterprises receiving fewer environmental subsidies, enterprises disclosing environmental philosophies, and enterprises identified as key pollution-monitoring units in reports. The research findings of this study are meaningful for clarifying the economic consequences of CSR and provide practical evidence for Chinese enterprises to understand the importance of environmental investment and the government’s advocacy for enterprises to proactively engage in environmental investment.
