“…The result implies that hiring a foreign CEOs will increase the chances that the firm will select environmentally friendly policies and consequently disclose the information. This result is consistent with prior related outcome of [65] who note that CEO nationality is one essential driver of social and environmental responsibility [68] supports the hypothesis that the level of corporate environmental disclosure is greater for firms with foreign managers.

The board of directors is responsible for making important decisions relating to corporate climate strategy. However, there is a possibility that their focus on minimizing agency costs may lead them to compromise environmental policies. This study aims to examine the impact of board diversity on the tendency that consumer goods firms listed in Nigeria will report on their environmental sustainability activities with a focus on a ten-year period (2011 to 2020). This study adopts ex-post facto research design using a population of twenty (20) consumer goods firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group's (NGX). A sample of 16 firms were selected through purposive sampling techniques and the data set which were sourced from published audited annual report were analysed using binary logistic regression analyses approach. The result reveal that CEO nationality have a positive significant effect on environmental disclosure suggesting that engaging the services of a foreign CEO can be leveraged upon in the determination of corporate goals that are associated with reducing the adverse effect of firm’s operation on the environment. The outcome is consistent with the stakeholders’ theory and reflects a sign of CEOs commitment to the demands and interests of stakeholders. In view of the foregoing, the study advocate for policies that that will accommodate hiring CEOs from different nationality. Such policies when implemented will give support to environmentally friendly discussions and deliberations which can translate to improved value for the firm. Such policy actions will be fundamental to maintaining good relationships with powerful stakeholders hence help avoid undue pressure from stakeholders.

“…Although the activity is considered relevant, it will not be used as a control variable in this study due to the way the Law Nº 10,165 of 2000 considers the activities to define the level of polluting potential. When companies operate in the international market, they tend to understand CSR differently, because in some countries the pressure from government and society, regarding environmental protection, is greater (Junquera & Ordiz, 2002;Turker, 2018;Voinea et al, 2020;Ansanelli et al, 2021). In addition, newer organizations are more willing to adopt environmental management practices (Rosario et al, 2017;Turker, 2018), and therefore the time of market performance was included.…”

Organizational culture is one of the resources used by companies to obtain competitive advantage and organizational sustainability, whether by financial, social or environmental efficiency (Chatman & O’Reilly, 2016; Dyck et al., 2019). Another resource that is being encouraged to try and achieve sustainability is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which can be facilitated or inhibited by organizational culture (Leandro & Rebelo, 2011; Shanak et al., 2020). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship of organizational culture and CSR practices on environmental performance in companies listed on [B]³ (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), São Paulo’s stock exchange. The results indicated that there are no direct relations between organizational culture, environmental performance and the mediating effect; however, at the significance level of 10%, companies with high polluting potential become more harmful to the environment when there is a predominance of market and hierarchical culture.
