“…Figure 5 shows that survey and case study research methods are the most frequently used method for investigating SR, accounting for 29% and 25%, respectively. This finding appears consistent with the need for robust empirical evidence to argue the narratives and policy development on SR in the third sector and validate theoretical underpinning of the relevance of SR in the sector [78,[86][87][88]. Having been used by 20% of the surveyed articles, content analysis was the third most frequently used method.…”

“…Based on this, country-level analysis of studies on SR in NGOs may help to provide some clarifications, awareness, and relevant insights on the extent of the understanding and the advancement of sustainability by the sector. The table above was presented on the basis that a country should have at least a score of one and must have a minimum of two institutions and two authors [78]. This was implemented in order to manage the high number of authors and countries covered in the study.…”

Understanding Sustainability Reporting in Non-Governmental Organisations: A Systematic Review of Reporting Practices, Drivers, Barriers and Paths for Future Research

NGOs are expected by their social mission not only to assess but to report on sustainability issues in response to the growing public awareness of the sustainability agendas. Since NGOs are globally renowned as watchdogs for advancing socio-economic development and sustainable societies, research on their efforts in this regard will help develop recommendations on how they can be better positioned as the watchdog. The purpose of this article is to review and assess the understanding of sustainability (reporting) in NGO literature as well as the barriers and drivers. The study investigates various practices of sustainability and identifies the drivers and barriers in sustainability reporting (SR). The authors reviewed 61 articles published between 2010 and 2020 on sustainability and assessed the strengths and weaknesses in the understanding of sustainability in literature as well as the reporting phenomenon in NGOs. The misconceptions in the definition of SR tend to weaken its relevance and applicability, and the reporting process is often focused on demonstrating the legitimacy of NGOs rather than improving their performance. As such, it provides more evidence in support of the need for a more holistic and all-inclusive definition that will aid regulation and enforcement. We also found that, although it is often assumed all NGOs share similar objectives, it is not always the case as there are as diverse objectives as there are numbers of NGOs and their reporting pattern varies in accordance with this diversity. The review makes a case for a more comprehensive definition of SR suitable for NGOs using four elements as well as providing suggestions for where research in this area might focus to enhance the overall body of knowledge. The study contributes to theory and practice by introducing new elements guiding the definition of SR in NGOs which supports accountability and proper functioning of a circular economy and promotes sustainable development.

“…This perception also extends to nuclear cogeneration processes and has so far affected investor attitudes to the nuclear hydrogen business. Table 6 examines the applicability of various infrastructure financing mechanisms prevalent around the world to nuclear hydrogen projects and identifies the main hurdles along each pathway 58‐64 . Each country implementing such a project would ultimately have to evolve a mechanism based on its economic scenario, prevailing regulations and government policies.…”

Summary Hydrogen production via water splitting using nuclear electricity is one of the most promising, mature and near‐term deployable low carbon routes to establishing the hydrogen economy in nuclear‐equipped nations. Hydrogen has enormous potential to decarbonize multiple industrial sectors, including the hard‐to‐abate industries, which release significant quantities of greenhouse gases every year. Both nuclear and renewables can be used as energy sources for green hydrogen production, but presently, the focus is on renewables, possibly because of the high upfront capital investment for nuclear power projects and the skewed perception of risk and safety issues surrounding nuclear energy. In this work, the rationale for supporting the deployment and growth of the nuclear‐driven hydrogen supply sector is established from the perspective of the power plant owner and the potential off‐take industries that will require large quantities of low carbon hydrogen for decarbonizing some or all of their operations. The status of the technology alternatives, their techno‐commercial features, the enabling mechanisms for project deployment, and the potential barriers along the way are analysed, and key recommendations for near‐term policy action are provided.

“…This research paper helps to measure the various contributions made by researchers' countries of origin, and the active contributors to research on reputational risks in banks during the 11 years period covered by this study (i.e., 2010 to 2020). To assess the contributions of countries and researchers to reputational risks research of banks, we followed contemporary literature review studies (e.g., Akomea-Frimpong, Adeabah, Ofosu, & Tenakwah, 2021) and adopted the score matrix formula by Howard, Cole and Maxwell (1987) presented as presented below.…”
