“…In the wake of China's commitment to peak its carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, known as the 'Dual Carbon' targets 21 , 22 , the nation has been steering its industries towards more sustainable practices. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2020, initiated an action plan to expedite the electrification of public sector vehicles, including construction machinery and heavy trucks, thereby aligning with the national agenda to mitigate carbon emissions.…”

The burgeoning development of railway construction in plateau regions of southwest China necessitates innovative and environmentally sustainable approaches, particularly in the realm of tunnel construction, where the transfer of muck poses significant operational and environmental challenges. This research, pivoting around the application and configuration of electric muck transfer equipment in plateau railway tunnels, seeks to dissect the potentialities and impediments of transitioning from conventional diesel-powered machinery to electric alternatives, with a spotlight on mitigating environmental impacts and enhancing operational efficiency. Through an analytical lens, the study employs a case study methodology, leveraging data and insights from existing electric equipment models and their applications, provided by major manufacturers in China, to weave a comprehensive narrative around the practicalities, specifications, and challenges embedded in the adoption of electric machinery in plateau environments. The findings unveil a nuanced landscape, where the environmental and operational advantages of electric equipment are juxtaposed against a backdrop of technological, financial, and infrastructural hurdles, thereby crafting a complex tapestry of opportunities and challenges. The research further extrapolates policy recommendations and practical guidelines, advocating for a harmonized amalgamation of governmental policies, technological advancements, and strategic planning to navigate through the identified challenges and optimize the integration of electric equipment in tunnel construction practices. Envisaging future research pathways, the study underscores the criticality of perpetuating technological innovations, policy adaptations, and interdisciplinary research to further refine and enhance the application of electric muck transfer equipment in plateau railway tunnel projects, thereby contributing to the broader narrative of sustainable construction practices in challenging terrains.

“…Given that China's industrial sector has been at the forefront of climate change debates for decades, and as one of the world's largest emitter of GHG, China is an interesting case for this study as we pay special attention to the manufacturing industries in China. According to Qunhui (2021) [27], China has been the world's largest manufacturing hub with over 220 types of industrial products listed in the UN industrial classification [28]. Given this, the activities of these companies have significant social, economic, and environmental implications.…”

Board Characteristics and Corporate Sustainability Reporting: Evidence from Chinese Listed Companies

et al. 2023

This paper investigates the impact of board characteristics (such as board size, board independence, CEO Duality, board meetings, and committee) on corporate sustainability reporting (CSR) in China. Unlike previous studies, we examine this relationship in light of the three pillars of corporate sustainability reporting: economic, environmental, and social. Using both the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and Dynamics Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) empirical models, our data, which comprises 9842 firm-year observations from both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges covering the 2006–2019 fiscal periods, reveals that board independence, a larger board size, and a board sustainability committee promote CSR in the three CSR pillars. However, the study shows that CEO duality is more likely to impede CSR. While the current study seems to provide some understanding regarding the relationship between board characteristics and corporate sustainability reporting to corporate boards, regulators, and practitioners interested in advancing the course of CSR, some significant knowledge gaps still need to be explored in future studies. Future research may consider other board characteristics as well as explore other CSR indices like integrated reporting and triple-bottom-line approaches.

“…The issue regarding controlling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a collective challenge globally, and how to mitigate carbon emissions effectively to curb the global warming trend has become a popular concern. Many countries are initiating to pursue carbon neutrality to confront global warming, i.e., to restrain GHG emissions into the atmosphere ( Fan et al, 2022 ). The United Kingdom leads the way in proclaiming net zero carbon emissions by 2050.…”
