“…However, this economic transition requires a colossal integration, and it begins with acting sustainable finance. Publicly disclosing a comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) will embrace investors and encourage corporate to do environmental-based reform [15]. Heretofore, corporate commitment must be driven by a certain standard, guidelines, leadership, and strategy.…”

Economy and corporate activities are significant elements relating to sustainable drawbacks. The 2030 agenda is a supremely transformational vision ensuring no one is left behind and guarantees full benefits for today and future generations. However, there is a limited understanding of their relationship and how their critical root causes them. Therefore, this study explores the complicated history of Indonesia’s sustainability within a systematic qualitative review from primeval documents to recent trends data. As a result, the pattern of nature degradation concerning nation growth has been interpreted. A corporate sustainability perspective has been designed as a problem solver. The knowledge management of sustainability and carbon management hierarchy tools have also been introduced. Hopefully, this study expresses extensive reasoning for Indonesia’s road map to a sustainable society.

Climate change increases the frequency of extreme climate events and impacts the economy and the society in a negative way. As typical climate events, temperature anomalies affect individual health and working conditions, particularly for industries that depend heavily on temperatures. Using a research setting of Chinese temperature-sensitive enterprises, we analyze the impact of temperature on labor productivity. The findings indicate an inverse U-shaped relationship between temperature and labor productivity, with labor productivity peaking at 24.90°C on average. Further analysis shows that labor productivity peaks in the eastern regions at a higher level (26.25°C) than in the central and western regions (20°C). Moreover, we note that technological innovation is crucial for enterprises to manage climate risks and maintain effective labor productivity. This study provides empirical evidence on the relationship between environmental risk and corporate operations, shedding light on the significance of corporate sustainable development against accelerating global climate change.

“…Their ESG rating criteria and selection of indicators are distinct, but they all utilize both qualitative and quantitative analyses (Widyawati 2020 ). Tao et al ( 2022 ) establish an evaluation framework and selected various measures to calculate the ESG index from three perspectives: environmental sustainability, social contribution, and corporate governance.…”

As the leading financial institutions in China, it is crucial for commercial banks to pay attention to environmental protection (E), social responsibility (S), and corporate governance (G) in order to enhance operational efficiency and to advance the high-quality development of the country’s social economy. This research explores the market share of banks as exogenous variables in the profit stage and the market and sustainability stage to investigate the efficiency of 20 listed banks in China over 2016–2020 and innovatively incorporates indicators such as green credit, social giving, executive compensation, and ESG score into the meta-dynamic two-stage SBM under the exogenous variable DEA model. The results demonstrate the following. (1) By integrating market share as an exogenous variable in the model, the efficiency estimate is more precise. (2) In overall, UCBs are the most efficient type of banks, JSCBs are the second, SOCBs are the least efficient. All three types of banks are more efficient in profit stage versus the market and sustainability stage, JSCBs perform best in the profit stage, where SOCBs perform best in the market and sustainability stage. The three different bank types’ TGR performance is comparable to their efficiency value performance. (3) SOCBs lead in ESG investment and have the best ESG performance due to their distinct state-owned background. With their ongoing dedication to profit maximization and disregard for social responsibility and sustainable development, JSCBs have the worst ESG performance. (4) Policy recommendations are made based on the study’s findings for commercial banks, stakeholders, and regulators to support ESG investment and to bring about long-term sustainable development. Finally, as ESG develops in China, future research can consider longer time scales and larger perspectives to investigate the sustainability efficiency of commercial banks themselves, as well as their role in the local economy and industrial transformation.
