“…Several studies show that the behavior of environmental innovation is different depending on the firm's listing status [26,[59][60][61][62][63]. Non-listed firms are usually controlled by a blockholder or a single owner.…”

Abstract:As the impact of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on the environment increases, there is a need for effective environmental policies to sustain their development. Under this condition, SMEs implement innovation to meet environmental regulations and to achieve environmental competitiveness in sustainability. We examine the impact of environmental innovation on labor productivity in SME manufacturers. The literature shows that complementary assets help SMEs to increase their performance in environmental innovation. Therefore, we study the interactive effects of the SMEs' business-group affiliation and the listing status on the relationship between environmental innovation and labor productivity. We add these interaction terms to multivariate regressions by using the 2010 Korea Innovation Survey. The results show that SMEs are able to use environmental innovation as a business strategy for green growth with improved labor productivity. Also, the results highlight that the business-group affiliation and the listing status as the complementary assets positively moderate the performance of the environmental innovation of the SMEs.

“…To avoid unfavourable news and influences, the management is more likely to disclose voluntary environmental and social information. Existing literature (Li & Zhang, 2010) found positive association between government ownership and the extent of social and environmental disclosure that sample companies reported. Further, Kato & Long (2006) indicated the structure of the government-ownership possess a strong connection with the pay towards social responsibility.…”

“…The first stream includes studies on developing the measures and the instruments of corporate social responsibility, involving mainly the scale of CSR based on stakeholders' perception or from institutional demand (Lu & Abeysekera, 2017;Chow & Chen, 2012;Zhang et al, 2014;Ong et al, 2016). Another stream focuses on the drivers of CSR, including testing the relevance of CSR with firm performance (Zhu & Zhang, 2015;Chen et al, 2018), corporate governance (Jo & Harjoto, 2012;Flammer et al, 2017;Hubbard et al, 2017;Harjoto & Jo, 2011), or ownership structures (Khan et al, 2013;Li & Zhang 2010;Ghazali, 2007).…”

“…State-owned firms receive close attention by the government and the public because these firms' operations and activities are often exposed and directly linked with the society and the media due to their perceived market power position and ownership structure (Li & Zhang, 2010). To avoid unfavourable news and influences, the management is more likely to disclose voluntary environmental and social information.…”

This study examines the extent of environmental and social disclosures in annual reports made by Chinese mining, utility and chemical industries. It also investigates the key drivers of the companies' environmental and social disclosures (CESD), thereby determining the motivations of the sample organisations towards corporate environmental and social responsibility. The study adopted dichotomous index to measure the extent of CESD among the three industries in their annual reports. Additionally, Ordinary Least Square was adopted to examine the determinants of CESD. By drawing on legitimacy theory, the results depict positive associations between the extent of CESD and firm size, profitability, and firm age. Engagement from industry association showed strong significance in environmental disclosure, whereas leverage was significant in social disclosures. Government ownership was found insignificant in the analysis. The study contributes with direct evidence to the extent of environmental disclosure and social disclosure made by three high-profile industries based on G3. The results showed that overall there is no significant difference between the extents of CESD of the three industries, indicating that high-profile industries behave similarly in terms of the content of information in disclosure. This study has also practical implications particularly for the regulatory body and the industry association when developing regulations and guidelines on environmental and social reports.

“…Previous studies conducted in developing countries to investigate the relationship between government ownership with CSR has been carried out in China (Li and Zhang, 2010), Malaysia (Ali, Esa and Zahari, 2012), and Indonesia (Lindrianasari, 2007). Government ownership is still common in developing countries (see Claessens et al, 2000).…”
