“…In this sense, looking at policies is important. Bigo and Martin () have further noted that to effectively look at how gender diversity truly impacts firm performance, we must take into account corporate diversity policies. It is their existence and implementation that truly changes the culture of an organization and impacts social performance.…”

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between gender and environmental sustainability. Based on a sample of 296 firms, drawn from the population of US publicly traded firms over a five-year period, we empirically test whether firms that have (1) more gender diverse boards of directors and (2) more policies and practices that enable or reinforce gender diversity throughout the organization, adopted more environmentally responsible policies and practices. We find that both 'demographic' and 'structural' gender diversity are significant predictors of a firm's environmental sustainability initiatives. Our findings show gender diversity is a sustainability issue as well.

“…On the other hand, the previous inconclusive results also foster the need to rethink the role of BGD in GI theoretically. In this regard, the national level and international level (Yasser et al, 2017) institutional and resource base contexts have been found significant for their impacts in the inconclusive relationship between BGD and different variants of sustainability (Bigo & Martin, 2012; Dong et al, 2022; Landry et al, 2016) however, those studies only considers vital macro‐economic and macro‐institutional indicators (García‐Sánchez et al, 2020). Within a country's institutional settings, the variation of the BGD‐GI relationship has been overlooked at par (Galbreath, 2019).…”

This study contributes to the inconclusive literature on the relationship between board gender diversity (BGD) and green innovation (GI). It empirically examines the moderating role of normative, mimetic and coercive pressures in the relationship between BGD and GI, derived from an industry‐specific isomorphic exhibition of institutional theory. Appertaining to A‐share listed firms of China, the findings highlight the moderating effect of masculinity, environmental sensitivity, environmental regulation level and export orientation of an industry on the said relationship. Moreover, the coercive isomorphism exhibits pronounced impact with the intensity of export orientation. However, firms associated with high‐tech industries have not been confirmed for significant effect on the relationship. Thus, the findings imply that the dynamics of the corporate governance and institutional isomorphism in case of BGD and GI relationships, in the organisational field of industry, are likely both pertinent and prevalent. Moreover, the increase in the number of females on the corporate boards could enhance the green performance of a firm, subject to the fulfilment of industry specific boundary conditions, predefined by the unique set of industry specific institutional pressures. These pressures amid affiliation with a specific industry should be evaluated and controlled for, on the bases of coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphism it hatches, to device an optimum composition of the corporate board.

“…Given the fact that the tradeoff between the stakeholders' pressures is dependent upon the insistence and salience of different stakeholders, and BGD only leverages its contribution in prioritization of the goals as per the resource base of their feminine capabilities (Fatima & Elbanna, 2023; Yang et al, 2018), BGD turns out to be a double‐edged sword (Triana et al, 2014). The role of women in addressing stakeholders' demands and their impact on sustainability constructs varies depending on the country, industry, and firm level contexts (Bigo & Martin, 2012). However, the role of women in archetypical field of subnational regions has not been explored yet (Galbreath, 2019; Naveed et al, 2021).…”

Board gender diversity and corporate environmental commitment: A subnational perspective

Within the expanding literature on the interplay of corporate governance and corporate environmental behavior, this study introspects the contrastingly reported relationship between board gender diversity (BGD) and corporate environmental commitment (CEC). It empirically explores the moderating effect of coercive (regulation stringency), normative (ethical standards), and mimetic pressures (following of peers), derived from the provincial level isomorphic exhibition of neo‐institutional theory, in the A‐share Chinese listed firms. Apart from confirming the aggregate level positive association between the variables, the findings also highlight the moderating effect of subnational institutional pressures on the relationship. While ruling out the endogeneity and establishing the robustness, the findings imply that the interplay of subnational institutional isomorphism and corporate governance in the case of BGD‐CEC relationship are likely both pertinent and prevalent. Moreover, the increase in BGD enhances the CEC of a firm, subject to the fulfillment of a province's specific boundary conditions, predefined by the unique set of subnational institutional pressures.
