“…Anand and Sen (2017) observed that the implication of this is that we cannot be allowed to abuse and plunder our common stock of natural assets and resources by using them up or contaminating them as we wish thereby violating the rights and the interests of the future generations. Möller, Bizer, Krüger & Kubach (2014) argued that the concept of sustainability includes components that constantly assert that present generation should ensure that future generations are not environmentally, economically or socially burdened to increase its present well-being. But the term sustainability is broadly used to indicate programs, initiatives and actions aimed at the preservation of a particular resource.…”

Most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have witnessed challenges with their financial stability, as most of their non-financial companies could not balance their performance. The study examined the effect of sustainability practices on financial stability of listed non-financial companies in SSA, using CAMEL parameter. Within the framework of ex-post facto research design, 183 non-financial companies Listed on the exchanges of Ghana, Nigeria and Johannesburg, South Africa as at December 31, 2020 constituted the population from which purposive sampling technique was used to draw a sample of 20 firms based on pre-determined criteria. Data covered 10 years period from 2011 to 2020 were analysed via Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation techniques. The study concluded that Size and age significantly enhanced the effect of sustainability practices on the CAMEL ratio of the firms. Hence, strict monitoring and low risk profile on the part of the directors of corporate non-financial companies were recommended. Keywords: Sustainability practice, Financial Stability, Economic Value Added, CAMEL Parameters ratio.

“…This interaction is, in fact, an implicit interdependency. We should, therefore, think of the SDGs as a system of interacting components, rather than simply a collection of goals and indicators [4,5,6].…”

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development issued by the United Nations is an important guide by which for countries to achieve common economic, social and environmental development. Important progress has been made in the evaluation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Hainan Island; nevertheless, there is still a lack of understanding around the trade-offs and synergies between the SDGs. Studying the trade-offs and synergies between Hainan Island’s sustainable development goals is of great significance for the coordinated development of these goals and the promotion of the construction of free trade ports. Therefore, based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Assessment System and the existing SDG indicator system on Hainan Island, this paper identifies and quantifies the trade-offs and synergies within and between SDGs and targets on the county scale. Based on the different impacts of different spatial, dimensional and geographical directions, the results show the following: (1) Hainan Province made good progress on multiple SDGs between 2015 and 2021. (2) The most significant synergies between SDGs exist between SDG1 (No Poverty) and SDG10 (Reduce Inequalities), while the most significant trade-offs exist between SDG2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG4 (Quality Education). (3) Obvious spatial characteristics in trade-offs and synergies exist, with the highest level of synergy being in the Haikou and Sanya Economic Circles and their surrounding areas, and in the central region of Hainan Island which has a higher level of trade-offs. (4) The synergistic effect between the SDG targets and indicators in Hainan is much greater than the trade-off effect: the four aspects of people's livelihood improvement, economic development, resource utilization and environmental quality all show synergistic effects in different regions.

“…The emergence and awareness of environmental sustainability has brought to fore the current pressure on organisations to be pragmatic and integrate ecological responsibility in organisational processes and operations (Möller et al 2014). Transforming modern organisations toward ecological consciousness requires transformational managers who are imbued with environmental values including carbon ethics (Egri & Herman, 2000).…”

This paper evaluates the association between top management academic background and the extent of corporate green energy investment. The approach is quantitative and data collection was from the sustainability reports of twenty companies from the FTSE/JSE Responsible Investing Index. Using a cross-sectional data, findings from a linear regression analysis show a significant association (at a p value of less than 0.001) between top managements’ academic background and percentage of green energy investment within the sample of companies. Therefore, within the limits of this study, the findings provide a clue to show that managers’ academic background may have an influence on the level of corporate green energy investment. This paper opens an agenda for a follow-up research to expand the length and breadth of this research area to find out the most likely group of top managements’ academic discipline that may favour more green energy investment. It contributes to the literature on corporate green energy investment by initiating the idea of relating green energy investment with top managements’ background.
