“…However, various studies suggest that the board of directors' effectiveness depends upon whether they are outside directors, independent of management, and able to act in the shareholders' best interests, or insiders, indebted to CEOs for their employment [72]. The previous literature shows that outside directors on the board defend shareholders' rights better than inside directors [48,49,[73][74][75]. Further, shareholders and corporations fall into a "tragedy of the horizon" due to not considering their long-term environmental and social sustainability [76].…”

Environmental performance is a key aspect of business for both shareholders and stakeholders. However, it is necessary to examine whether current practices in corporate governance protect the key interests of shareholders and environmental stakeholders. This study examines how corporate governance affects a company’s sustainability and environmental performance. The study takes a novel approach by dividing businesses into three categories based on various business scenarios for environmental sustainability and evaluating the effect of corporate governance on each scenario in businesses. According to the study, corporate governance is a relative phenomenon whose effectiveness depends on assumptions about how long a company can continue operating under its current environmental conditions. Empirical results show that corporate governance is only effective in business-as-usual environmentally sustainable or highly environmentally sustainable scenarios.

“…Specifically, Goal 12 aims to halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains by 2030 2 . Achieving this target is crucial not only for food security but also for climate change mitigation, as food waste is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (Ahmad et al, 2023). India's challenges in post-harvest management are common.…”

This research delved into India's substantial post-harvest losses, highlighting the consequential effects on the country's food and nutritional security. Despite its position as a leading global agricultural producer, India faces pronounced food wastage, largely attributed to suboptimal post-harvest management and infrastructure. The study's objectives were to quantify these losses, ascertain their repercussions on food security, and evaluate the prevailing state of post-harvest facilities. Leveraging secondary data from governmental agencies, including the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer’s Welfare and the National Centre for Cold Chain Development, the research juxtaposed horticultural data against WHO benchmarks, scrutinized wastage rates of key agricultural products, and gauged the efficacy of the existing cold chain mechanisms. The results revealed a significant increase in agricultural yield, yet a substantial fraction remains unutilized, with perishables like fruits and vegetables bearing the brunt of the wastage. The primary culprits identified were the insufficiency of cold chain amenities and ineffective post-harvest practices. With India's population trajectory on an upward curve, addressing these post-harvest challenges is imperative for fortifying food security. The research accentuates the pressing need for technological advancements, bolstered investments in post-harvest infrastructure, and strategic policy overhauls to curtail these losses and enhance India's food security framework.
