“…Thus, Mozambique appears as a particularly interesting setting under institutional voids, suitable to highlight the different influence of corporate motives for CSR on SD, and the effects of the Ubuntu ethical pressures on this relationship. Other studies have considered SD in Mozambique, with specific attention given to agriculture (Sánchez-Reparaz, 2020), energy (Ahlborg & Hammar, 2014), water basin (Alba et al, 2017), marine preservation (Lucrezi et al, 2019), and biofuel sustainability (Schut et al, 2010). All these studies have validated that SD in Mozambique is an effective practice to support management agendas, thus confirming the validity of the country as a research setting for this study.…”

“…Looking specifically at Mozambique, the dearth of existing studies does not allow for sketching a comprehensive understanding of the orientation and relevance of SD. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, an interesting suggestion comes from the research by Lucrezi et al (2019), who aimed to provide empirical evidence of the impact of SD on marine protected area management in the southern village of Ponta do Ouro. The findings confirm that SD is effective in supporting management agendas and collaborative processes of knowledge acquisition, fieldwork, and educational experiences.…”

Corporate social responsibility and stakeholder dialogue under institutional voids: decoupling the role of corporate motives, ethics, and resources

The present study aims at further understanding the relationships between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Stakeholder Dialogue (SD) by exploring whether and how corporate motives for CSR affect the engagement into SD under institutional voids. The study also builds on the vast existing literature discussing the role of institutional mechanisms, analyzing how local ethics influence the vision of stakeholders, and on the resource-based view, highlighting how the availability of resources shapes CSR and SD. The paper discusses the results of a study we ran in Mozambique and which involved 235 domestic and foreign firms operating in the country. Mozambique is an interesting setting to analyze CSR as it is characterized by institutional voids, it has a vibrant economic environment, and it is influenced by Ubuntu ethics. Our findings confirm that under institutional voids corporate motives for CSR influence firms’ commitment to SD, especially with regards to profitability, whereas firm driven by legitimacy reasons resulted in being less involved in activities towards stakeholders. Contrary to previous studies, the study highlights that ethics do not affect SD. Differently, the study support literature on the role of resources in influencing the behaviour of companies towards CSR and SD.

“…Throughout the humpback dolphins’ range, public engagement is practised in some habitats, such as the Pearl River Estuary (http://hkdcs.org/) and central west Gulf of Thailand (Dr Suwat Jutapruet, personal communication). Public engagement is essential for humpback dolphin conservation against improper CEME planning through citizen‐science practices informing biodiversity baselines (Chandler et al, 2017; Harvey et al, 2018), the participation of local communities (Agrawal & Redford, 2006; Gaymer et al, 2014), marine environmental education (Lucrezi et al, 2019; Sakurai & Uehara, 2020) and efficient information delivery between stakeholders from the science, conservation, resource‐extraction and development sectors (Boon & Baxter, 2020; Huang et al, 2020). For humpback dolphins in CEME‐disturbed habitats, habitat protection planning needs to address current gaps that hinder the above stakeholder engagement campaigns (Table 3).…”

1. In Chinese and South-east Asian waters, the coastal and estuarine environments are important habitats for the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis).Coastal and estuarine maritime engineering (CEME), including land reclamation, embankment or shoreline armouring, harbour construction and marine farming, permanently changes coastal environments and threatens the long-term persistence of marine biota and ecosystems. Such impacts on humpback dolphin viability, however, are rarely discussed.

“…Wetland management has therefore called for the involvement of various stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals, organisations or institutions that support or oppose a research project or are potentially affected by the management of wetlands (Darradi et al., 2006; Devarani & Basu, 2009; Lucrezi et al., 2019). Generally, the wetland stakeholders include development partners, river basin organisations, sub‐basin organisations, local and international NGOs, community‐based organisations, the private sector, academic and research institutions (MacDonald, 2007; Merrey, 2008).…”

The paper assesses trends in use of earth observation data in wetland conditions monitoring and assessment in Zimbabwe from 1980 to 2019. Reviewed literature shows academia and research institutions (69.8%), government agencies (14%) and international development partners (16.3%) as the main users of remotely sensed data in wetland ecological assessments and monitoring. There is more reliance by the abovementioned stakeholders on freely available low‐cost resolution imagery from Landsat (62.9%) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (14.3%). Other stakeholders, however, are reliant on high‐resolution imagery like Rapid Eye (5.7%) and aerial photography (11.4%). Satellite images in wetland management in Zimbabwe are used for land use land cover change detection (42.1%), vegetation health monitoring (21.1%), water quantity monitoring (5.3%), water quality monitoring (13.2%) and wetland mapping (18.4%). The identified challenges faced by different stakeholders to effectively utilise EO data include high cost of high‐resolution imageries, limited expertise, inadequate equipment and software. Since the cost of high‐resolution satellite imagery mainly constraints the acquisition of suitable satellite data to assess the small wetlands that dominate Zimbabwe's landscape, there is need to promote use of recently launched freely available high‐resolution Sentinel data to improve the ecological assessment of wetland conditions.
