“…The small but still relevant significance of gender differences as concerns average expectations about EN are in line with feminist environmentalism and eco-feminist theories (Agarwal, 1992;Perkins, 2007;O'Hara, 2009;Veuthey and Gerber, 2010). According to eco-feminist theories, women would typically be more concerned than men about balancing economic goals with the needs for environmental conservation, due to specific and significant connections between women and nature (Veuthey and Gerber, 2010).…”

The literature on business ethics, corporate social responsibility and sustainability includes many studies on gender differences, however the results are often contrasting. In particular, there has not yet been full agreement on the role and significance of gender differences in customer expectations and perceptions of responsible corporate conduct. An extensive review of the research on the subject reveals that the published studies have not dealt with the substantive significance of gender differences, and as a result, the size of such differences is unknown. The current study analyses both the statistical and the substantive significance of gender differences in customer expectations and perceptions of corporate responsibility, also examining the influence of age and education. The analysis is carried out on a remarkably large sample of 908 clients, pertaining to 12 of the largest Italian banks. The overall resultsshow that there is a small substantive difference between women's and men's average expectations, with women showing higher average values than men. This result holds generally true with variation of education levels and age groups. Young females show the highest average values of expectations, and the significance of gender differences decreases with age. In contrast, the perception of corporate social responsibility does not show significant gender differences, either at the general level or when the analyses are repeated by education levels and age groups. The paper introduces the use of a standardized measure of effect size for analysing the substantive significance of gender differences in customer expectations and perceptions of corporate social responsibility. This novel approach increases results reliability and, accordingly, the effectiveness of company or policy maker strategies in designing, planning, implementing and assessing sustainability initiatives.

“…This has been challenged by activists and scholars arguing for a materialist ecofeminism. This materialist current is studied by feminist environmentalism (Agarwal 1992), feminist political ecology (Rocheleau et al 1996), socialist or materialist ecofeminism (Mellor 1997;Merchant 1992), ecofeminist political economy (Mellor 2006) and feminist ecological economics (O'Hara 2009;Perkins 2007;Perkins and Kuiper 2005;Waring 1988).…”

In their own battles and strategy meetings since the early 1980s, EJOs (environmental justice organizations) and their networks have introduced several concepts to political ecology that have also been taken up by academics and policy makers. In this paper, we explain the contexts in which such notions have arisen, providing definitions of a wide array of concepts and slogans related to environmental inequities and sustainability, and explore the connections and relations between them. These concepts include: environmental justice, ecological debt, popular epidemiology, environmental racism, climate justice, environmentalism of the poor, water justice, biopiracy, food sovereignty, "green deserts", "peasant agriculture cools downs the Earth", land grabbing, Ogonization and Yasunization, resource caps, corporate accountability, ecocide, and indigenous territorial rights, among others. We examine how activists have coined these notions and built demands around them, and how academic research has in turn further applied them and supplied other related concepts, working in a mutually reinforcing way with EJOs. We argue that these processes and dynamics build an activist-led and co-produced social sustainability science, furthering both academic scholarship and activism on environmental justice. Keywords: Political ecology, environmental justice organizations, environmentalism of the poor, ecological debt, activist knowledge RésuméDepuis le début des années 80, à travers leurs propres luttes et réunions stratégiques, les EJOS (Organisations de Justice Environnementale) et leurs réseaux ont introduit quelques concepts différents d'écologie politique qui ont été repris par le monde académique et par les décideurs politiques. Dans cet article, nous expliquons les contextes qui ont promu l'émergence de ces concepts, et offrons des définitions pour un large ensemble de concepts et de slogans lies aux inégalités environnementales et à la protection durable de l'environnement, et nous explorons les connections entre eux. Ces concepts incluent: La justice environnementale, la dette écologique, l'épidémiologie populaire, le racisme environnemental, la justice climatique, l'environnementalisme des pauvres, la justice hydrique, la bio-piraterie, la souveraineté alimentaire, «les déserts verts», «l'agriculture paysanne rafraichit la terre», la prise des terres (land grabbing), l'Ogonisation et la Yasunisation, les plafonds de ressources, la responsabilité des entreprises, l'écocide, les droits indigènes territoriaux, et quelques autres. Nous examinons comment les activistes ont inventé ces termes, construit des demandes autour d'eux, et comment la recherche académique les a appliqués, et ensuite comment elle a offert de nouveaux concepts, travaillant de manière symbiotique avec les EJOS. Nous argumentons que ces processus et dynamiques construisent une science du développement durable conduite et co-produite par les activistes, ce qui renforce ainsi la littérature académique et l'activisme sur la justice environnementale....

“…Chapter 2 Environmental and gender security will both be elusive as long as economic systems based on the unsustainable assumption that production and consumption can and should continuously grow have primacy (Victor and Jackson 2015;Nelson 2009;Perkins 2007). A core insight of scholarship in this field is that classic economic models are framed by priorities that are stereotyped as male and reflect masculinist assumptions about how to measure economic activity (Box 3.7) (Gibson-Graham 2006;Elson 1998;Waring 1998).…”

“…Time poverty and unpaid labour, care and domestic work: In the past two decades feminist theorists and ecological economists have engaged with the conundrum of how to make a democratic and equityenhancing transition to an economy based on less material throughput (Perkins 2007;Eichler 1999;Elson 1998). One important element in this effort is to demand a more realistic accounting of what labour -and materials -it takes to keep economies running and communities and families functioning.…”
