“…It, therefore, means that when there is a 1% growth in corruption, a 1.188% level of development is found in geothermal development. This conforms to the works of Yao et al (2021), Pei et al (2021), Gani (2021), Lu et al (2021), and Kumar et al (2021) that suggest that control of corruption captures perceptions of the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain in the geothermal energy industry, including both petty and grand forms of corruption, as well as capture of the state by elites and private interests. The findings of this research showed that improvement in good governance will bring about additional growth in the geothermal energy industry.…”

“…This means that when corruption is curbed by 1%, this will help the sustainable growth of the geothermal industry by 1.959% among the 14 developed European countries. These findings support the view of Gani (2021), Lu et al (2021), and Kumar et al (2021) that suggest that control of corruption captures perceptions of the extent to which public power is exercised for private gain in the geothermal energy industry, including both petty and grand forms of corruption, as well as capture of the state by elites and private interests. The findings of this paper show that an increased level of growth in good governance will boost the level of geothermal production among the 14 European developed countries.…”

The European geothermal heating market, at one time dominated by only a handful of countries, is set to experience a purple patch in the coming years as governments scramble to find an affordable alternative to expensive gas-fired heating. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate what effect will worldwide governance factors and economic growth on the geothermal energy output among the 27 European Countries from the time being 1996 to 2021. Using the autoregressive distributed lag, the findings shows that a significant increase in the geothermal energy industry sustainability can occur in European Union 14 (EU14) emerged economies using worldwide governance factors than in EU13 emerging economies. Among additional factors, instability in the political realm, regulatory issues in the area of quality, accountability, and voice-related issues, and the ability to curb corrupt practices contribute more positively to geothermal energy sustainability in EU14 emerged economies than in European Union 13 (EU13) emerging economies. On the other hand, government effectiveness contributes more positively to geothermal energy sustainability in EU13 emerging economies than in EU14 emerged economies. The finding implies that geothermal power sustainability in EU region countries can be significantly increased by mounting the level of worldwide governance determinants to achieve Energy Union aims by 2030. This will finally be spread to combat climate change and environmental pollution. All observations on projected calculations are valid. The confirmation was achieved with the aid of the three estimators used in the study which are the pooled mean group estimator, the mean group estimator, and the third one was dynamic fixed effect approach. This study recommended that these European countries need to put more effort in terms of being effective in worldwide governance indicators which will help in goal attainment at the societal and environmental levels. Those in charge of making laws in the European countries should get more engaged in worldwide governance scopes as this will assist in facilitating the security and sustainability of geothermal energy generation. Those in charge of making policies in the EU countries should as well lay more emphasis on the strategies that could be cointegrated and as well sustainable toward worldwide governance fractionation toward the achievement of the sustainability of geothermal power and this will drastically reduce the need or dependence on fossil fuel and emissions coming from carbon dioxide in the future time.

“…Despite such corruption challenges and the need for better governance in frontier markets, economic opportunity in these countries endures (Gani 2021), and could be high in the long-term (S&P 2018). Not surprisingly, scholars have conducted research in these frontier markets in recent years to better understand sustainability-related phenomena, such as energy demand in Bangladesh (Murshed 2021), resilient and sustainable cities in Jordan (Shamout, Boarin, and Wilkinson 2021), and the energy-water-food nexus in Lebanon (Al-Thani and Al-Ansari 2021).…”

Frontier markets of the world are countries with promising long-term rewards for investors, but risky and uncertain prospects in the next few years. These pre-emerging markets include such countries as Nigeria, Bangladesh, Jordan and Lebanon. Although sustainable business practices have appeared in frontier markets, the fragility and volatility of these markets raise the question about the nature of consumer support for sustainability in these challenging markets. Specifically, not much is currently known about factors influencing consumers’ purchasing support for firms pursuing sustainable business practices in frontier markets. This study contributes to macromarketers’ understanding of frontier markets by addressing consumers’ support for sustainable business practices in Lebanon. Structural equation modeling results of survey responses suggest that sustainable business practices influence purchasing of Lebanese consumers and are positively affected by antecedents, such as 1) Attitude toward Business Benevolence, 2) Environmental Values, and 3) Concern about Business Ethics. These results correspond to those from a US sample suggesting that support for sustainable business is not merely a phenomenon for developed markets—but for frontier markets, as well.

“…However, the people are faced with reality where they experience poverty and environmental pollution. For example, in Africa, oil producers have low and poor human development, instability, conflict, and failure to eradicate poverty (Gani 2021 ). This results from the practice of sustainability reporting that is not under the conditions of the community (Tuulentie 2019 ).…”

The potential bias for sustainability reporting of global upstream oil and gas companies: a systematic literature review of the evidence

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainability reporting is very important for upstream oil and gas companies. The characteristics of industrial operations require direct involvement in environmental management, which causes better policies. Therefore, it is important to explain that these companies are motivated by ecological awareness or a specific purpose. This research conducts critical discourse analysis with a systematic literature review (SLR) approach of the last eleven years related to the sustainability reporting of the oil and gas industry. Various factors influence companies when implementing sustainability reporting, such as increasing credibility, maintaining reputation, transparency, and avoiding legal sanctions. The results showed several global upstream oil and gas companies still have the potential bias for sustainability reporting because they have not implemented the triple bottom line concept. This potential bias is related to irregularities and fraud in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practice. However, the organization as a ruling group can still carry out its mission of hegemony in the environment and the surrounding community. This research contributes academically and practically because it discusses various studies that used several methods, including surveys, case studies, experiments, and literature to form its conclusions.
