“…Nevertheless, literature about how corporate social performance feedback affects their behavior decisions is scant. As an important dimension of social performance (Fosu et al, 2024), environmental performance has a great impact on corporate reputation, resource acquisition capability, and legitimacy. Additionally, no consensus has been reached on the relation between poor environmental performance and subsequent environmental strategies.…”

When the environmental performance is below the aspiration, will firms make substantive changes? In order to answer this question, based on the behavioral theory of the firm, this paper examines the impact of negative environmental performance feedback on substantive green innovation (GI) and its influencing mechanism. It is found that the negative environmental performance feedback induces substantive GI, which is positively moderated by external regulations (i.e., government environmental regulation and public environmental concern) and internal incentive (i.e., executive equity incentive). Media pressure and risk preference act as mediators in the above promotion effect. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the above promotion effect as well as the moderating effects of external regulations are more pronounced in private firms, while the moderating effect of internal incentive is more pronounced in state‐owned firms. Furthermore, the above promotion and moderating effects are more pronounced after the ESG rating event of SynTao Green Finance Agency. This paper offers new sights into understanding the motives of substantive GI and policy suggestion for promoting firms to achieve sustainable development.

“…The accumulation of corporate reputation capital driven by social responsibility improves the attractiveness of corporates to talents and facilitates the introduction of high-quality talents. The related reduction of human costs [ 50 ], government resource subsidies, and access to investment support [ 51 ] also promote the improvement of corporate financial performance. Thus, this study proposes the hypothesis:…”

This study explores the peer and economic effects of corporate poverty alleviation behavior. Using the data of A-share non-financial listed corporates in Shanghai and Shenzhen of China from 2016 to 2020, the empirical analysis of this study finds that: corporate poverty alleviation behavior has significant peer effects; the guidance of local poverty alleviation policies weakens the peer effects of corporate poverty alleviation behavior; compared to private enterprises, the poverty alleviation behavior of the peer firms has a more significant impact on state-owned enterprises; and corporate poverty alleviation behavior can result in the backflow of economic benefits and achieve the organic unity of economic and social benefits. The purpose of this paper is to explore the peer effects of corporate poverty alleviation behaviors through empirical analysis using available public data. The results of the study not only increase the motivation of corporate to participate in poverty alleviation from a peer effects perspective, but also reveal key factors for sustaining corporate poverty alleviation behaviors.

“…The aforementioned literature still leaves room for further research, particularly concerning carbon emissions. Existing studies have only focused on the national and provincial levels (Fosu et al, 2023;Tan et al, 2022;Xie et al, 2021). At the corporate level, research has been limited to environmental performance (Wakeman et al, 2021).…”

In the context of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality,” companies are responsible for actively reducing carbon emissions and achieving a balance among economic, environmental, and social benefits. From a non‐economic perspective, this study chose a sample of 9872 A‐share manufacturing companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2010 to 2019. This study used the fixed‐effect model to explore the mechanism of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its three sub‐dimensions (shareholder rights, employee rights, and social contribution) on corporate carbon performance. This study also examined the mediating mechanism of government subsidy and the moderating effects of internationalization and corporate governance as internal and external factors. The results show that: (1) CSR can significantly improve corporate carbon performance, and government subsidies play a partial intermediary role. (2) CSR significantly promotes carbon performance for firms with lower internationalization levels and higher corporate governance levels. (3) Heterogeneous conditions such as CSR disclosure willingness, CSR report quality, and corporate attributes have different impacts on corporate carbon performance. These findings can help government agencies formulate policies to promote CSR and restrain corporate carbon emissions. Corporate managers can also fulfill CSR and improve carbon performance through government subsidies, internationalization, and corporate governance.
