“…Specifically in the context of China, Boubaker et al (2024) highlighted that the country's anti-corruption campaign has fostered corporate environmental responsibility among energy firms. Similarly, Zhang et al (2023) identified that urban environmental legislation significantly bolsters corporate environmental operational performance, particularly in terminal governance, though it seemingly has negligible influence on corporate environmental management performance concerning process control. However, there is a scarcity of literature examining the role of local party committees in shaping corporate environmental behaviors.…”

For the first time, this study investigates the environmental performance outcomes of integrating local political committees into private firms. Using a nationwide survey of Chinese private firms, we find that the involvement of local party committees significantly bolsters corporate environmental investment. This finding remains consistent across various samples, alternative measures of the dependent variable, and different estimation methodologies. Notably, the influence of local party committees on pro-environmental practices is more pronounced in firms with lower family ownership, in regions with weaker environmental regulations, and where the owner is also the Party secretary. This study reveals local party committees as key mediators between government and firms, enhancing corporate engagement in environmental initiatives. It advocates for policies promoting collaboration between government and private firms, particularly emphasizing the strategic placement of party committees in firms with specific ownership and leadership characteristics to maximize environmental investment.

The digital transformation of enterprises is a significant catalyst for achieving cleaner production and directly affects a company’s carbon performance. This research elucidates the theoretical logic and potential impact mechanisms of digital transformation in reducing corporate carbon emissions. Second, using a panel data set of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2020, this study quantitatively investigates the effect of corporate digital transformation on the carbon emissions intensity of businesses. The empirical results indicate that corporate digital transformation has a statistically significant negative effect on the carbon emissions intensity of Chinese firms. Several robustness tests have validated this conclusion. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that state-owned businesses, firms with high carbon intensity, and those with strong financing capacity would benefit more from digital transformation in achieving the goal of reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, the impact of digital transformation on corporate carbon emission abatement is more prominent in industries with limited technological input and high energy consumption. At the regional level, digital transformation has a more significant impact on reducing carbon emissions in cities with stringent environmental regulation, advanced marketization, and resource-based economies. The transmission mechanism analysis confirms that improving corporate energy use efficiency, enhancing financial performance, and fostering green innovation are crucial transmission mechanisms through which digital transformation can help enterprises decrease their carbon emissions. These findings assist companies in comprehending the role of digital transformation in lowering carbon emissions and provide them with valuable insights.

Si bien muchos Rosa Herlinda Ochante-Ramos; Miriam Riveros-Davalos; Never Gustavo Luis Mamani-Mercado 291 estudios han demostrado que las personas han ido incrementando su conciencia ambiental, aún existe una brecha entre la intención de cuidar el medio ambiente, denominado conciencia ambiental y el comportamiento del ser humano (Zhang et al, 2023); bajo este contexto, y considerando que sin lugar a dudas las prácticas de sostenibilidad generan múltiples beneficios, se plantea como pregunta de investigación: ¿Cuáles son las estrategias que impulsan a la sostenibilidad?¿Cómo podrían aplicarse estas al entorno educativo?…”

Las prácticas sostenibles son acciones que pretenden minimizar el impacto negativo hacia el medio ambiente, la sociedad, economía, promoviendo así la conservación de los recursos naturales y equidad social. Se plantea como pregunta de investigación: ¿Cuáles son las estrategias que impulsan a la sostenibilidad? ¿Cómo podrían aplicarse estas al entorno educativo? Para enfrentar el desafío del cambio climático y promover la participación ciudadana en la protección del medio ambiente, es fundamental implementar una serie de acciones y estrategias. Según la revisión de la literatura realizada, los autores recomiendan: establecer un sistema de tarifa de recolección de residuos, fomentar la conservación de la naturaleza desde casa y en la escuela, realizar evaluaciones iniciales de los desechos generados, organizar actividades de educación y concientización, instalar dispositivos de ahorro de agua y captación de agua, y evaluar el uso de materiales que reduzcan el consumo de papel y otros recursos.
