Sustainability bonds enable capital-raising and investment for those projects that have both a positive impact on the environment and a positive social outcome. This study examines the stock market reaction to the announcement of sustainability bonds issuance. The present research is designed as follows: first, an event study that examines the market reaction and second, a highlight of drivers influencing this market reaction via a linear regression with cluster-robust standard errors. Overall, small and negative sample-wide reactions to sustainability bond issue announcements were found. Additionally, the study finds significant negative abnormal returns before the publication in June 2018 of The Sustainability Bond Guidelines by the International Capital Market Association. Specifically, the size of the bond issue, whether the bond is callable or not, the announcement of the issue as a single event in a day, the company’s Return on Assets, the firm’s social disclosure score, and the issuance of the bond prior or after June 2018 are statistically significant factors that influence the stock returns of issuers.

“…Overcoming the finance gap, in particular in emerging and low-income developing countries. The papers by authors from UNCTAD (Zhan & Santos, 2021) and a group of other international organizations (Stephenson et al, 2021) focus on activating instruments and creating relevant organizations and governance structures to coordinate efforts in securing and utilizing development finance. The BRI paper (Lewis et al, 2021) provides complementary insights on how funds can be channeled through a consortium of collaborating countries and institutions.…”

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals: Can multinational enterprises lead the Decade of Action?

et al. 2021

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by all UN member states and have been embraced by many multinational enterprises (MNEs) and international NGOs. They created a 'hybrid governance' platform in which companies, governments, NGOs, and knowledge institutes can work on achieving common goals through targeted action and serve as the leading global sustainable development framework until 2030. By the year 2020, however, progress towards the goals proved slow, prompting the UN to announce a 'Decade of Action'. The slow or limited adoption and implementation of the SDG Agenda by MNEs-in close interaction with government policies-is one of the root causes for delayed progress. The question is no longer 'why' MNEs should develop sustainability strategies, but rather 'how'. A number of related questions arise. What have been the roles of MNEs in progress towards the SDGs, what is needed from them in the future, and what can be the role of international business (IB) scholarship in shaping discussion and action? This Special Issue tackles these questions from four angles: (1) identifying and helping to fill theoretical gaps in IB research on the SDGs; (2) asking which SDGs and targets provide promising venues for societally relevant IB research topics; (3) assessing and helping to fill empirical gaps by using, complementing, and upgrading relevant SDG indicators; and (4) showing how IB research and policy practice can become better aligned.

“…The results of the strategic formulation will require cooperation between the government, the private sector, and the community in realizing the sustainable development of the new city area of Moncongloe-Pattalassang. Strategic policy steps and the SDGs governance system will require the cooperation of various parties, private and community support towards the sustainable development of new city areas [80][81][82]. The sustainability of the development of the new city area as an integral part of the Mamminasata Metropolitan urban system is presented in Figure 9 below.…”

The expansion of urban areas towards the development of new urban areas has an impact on changes in land use, socio-economic dynamics and a decrease in environmental quality. This study aims to analyze land use change as a determinant of environmental degradation and the spatial dynamics of metropolitan urban areas, the effect of land use change, housing development, infrastructure development, and land reclamation on the environmental degradation of the new city area, and control strategies environmental pollution and sustainable development of the new city area. This study uses a quantitative-qualitative concurrent triangulation design approach. Elaboration of data through observation, in-depth interviews, surveys, and documentation is used to describe the socio-economic community, and the decline in the environmental quality of new city area development in relation to the spatial dynamics of metropolitan urban areas. The results of the study show that the intensity of land use change coupled with an increase in socio-economic activities in the development of new city areas is positively associated with a decrease in environmental quality and segregation towards the spatial dynamics of metropolitan urban areas. Changes in land use, housing development, infrastructure development, and land reclamation simultaneously affect environmental quality degradation with a coefficient of determination of 64.96%. This study recommends strategies for controlling environmental pollution and sustainable development of new city areas for the needs of formulating urban development policies for Mamminasata Metropolitan South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
