Assessing the Materiality of Value-Chain Emissios for Organizational Decarbonization Strategy Development: a Case Study of the Automotive Industry See

Industrial decarbonization strategies increasingly require organizations to measure emissions throughout their entire value chain, not just from direct operational sources. While corporate greenhouse gas accounting frameworks offer structured reporting methods, the significance of upstream supply-chain emissions is&...

Ontology- and Data-Driven Circularity Assessment of Waste-Derived Rigid PVC-u: A Micro–Macro Decision Framework for Sustainable Recycling and Smart Manufacturing See

The circularity of waste-derived rigid unplasticised poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-u) is constrained by heterogeneous waste-stream sources, degraded material quality, legacy additives, and inconsistent decision criteria spanning technical, environmental, and economic aspects. In this work, we developed an ontology...

Effects of Key Processing Parameters on Microstructure Features and Mechanical Properties of Die-Cast Aluminium Alloy Wheels Assisted with AI and Intelligent Prediction See

Effects of key processing parameters including ingate velocity (IV) and intensification pressure (IP), on the average/maximum sizes, volume fraction and fractal dimension of defects/porosities and grain size, and mechanical properties of die-cast Al7SiMnMg alloy wheels, were investigated by exper...

Racialised Conditional Capital Conversion: Race, Class and the Limits of Recognition in Elite Organisations See

This paper examines how racial inequality persists within organisations alongside career advancement among racialised professionals. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with fifty Chinese professionals in Australia's Big Four firms, we examine how race shapes the recognition and conversion of economic, ...

Billable Hours and Work Flexibility: Navigating the Paradox in Law Firms See

Flexible work promises control over where and when work is performed, yet organisations still need credible performance evidence at a distance. Drawing on 30 interviews with women lawyers in UK‐based international firms, we examine how billable hours mediate these demands. Records of bi...

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder: Female solidarity and CEO–employee pay gap See

Drawing on an international sample of 20,576 observations between 2002 and 2021, we find that greater female employment is positively associated with a higher salary gap, implying that firms employing more women are more prone to a higher salary gap. However, a greater proportion&#...

Environmental Disclosure Versus Environmental Performance: Implications for Corporate Financial Performance and Risk See

Environmental considerations shape corporate strategy, risk management, and firm valuation. Yet, empirical evidence on the links between environmental performance, environmental disclosures and corporate financial performance is mixed and often omits risk implications. We develop a holistic framework to ex...
