“…Historically, Canadian chemical, resource, and energy sector companies have been the first to release nonfinancial reports on their environmental impacts. This is consistent with previous studies that have found that industries with higher impact (e.g., environmental degradation) engage more extensively in corporate social responsibilty (CSR) reporting (Cho, Laine, Roberts, and Rodrigue, 2018;Cho and Patten, 2007;Chung and Cho, 2018;Young and Marais, 2012).…”

This study examines the progress Canada's largest companies are making in their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures. Given the introduction of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) as well as the issuance of the Task Force on Climate‐Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, our research reflects the uptake of these guidance documents by both mature and new reporters. Our analysis suggests that challenges persist—processes and progress often fail to reach investors as they are “lost in translation” when issued through third‐party ESG information providers, and reporters are also pressured to respond to a myriad of requests for information from rating and reporting agencies. Nevertheless, we note that Canada has new reporting sectors that must mature to survive the scrutiny of the markets and also hope that stock markets will respond to the recent announcement by the 181 CEOs of the U.S. Business Roundtable, who committed to lead their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders—customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders. Overall, we believe that our research will provide food for thought for companies interested in continuous improvement.

“…However, these campaigns are not always articulated as solely a crusade against pollution, but rather as conflicts in defense of land rights, sovereignty, and justice (Temper et al 2015, 2018). Prominent examples include the opposition of different IPs (e.g., Inupiat, Gwich'in) across Canada and the United States to different oil drilling plans in the Arctic (Cho et al 2018), or widespread social mobilization against pipelines such as the Dakota Access Pipeline (Donaghy and Lisenby 2018), the Enbridge Pipeline (Donaghy 2018), the Trans Mountain Pipeline (CRED 2013), or the Keystone XL Pipeline (Bradshaw 2015).…”

Indigenous peoples (IPs) worldwide are confronted by the increasing threat of pollution. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature (n = 686 studies), we present the current state of knowledge on: 1) the exposure and vulnerability of IPs to pollution; 2) the environmental, health, and cultural impacts of pollution upon IPs; and 3) IPs' contributions to prevent, control, limit, and abate pollution from local to global scales. Indigenous peoples experience large burdens of environmental pollution linked to the expansion of commodity frontiers and industrial development, including agricultural, mining, and extractive industries, as well as urban growth, waste dumping, and infrastructure and energy development. Nevertheless, IPs are contributing to limit pollution in different ways, including through environmental monitoring and global policy advocacy, as well as through local resistance toward polluting activities. This work adds to growing evidence of the breadth and depth of environmental injustices faced by IPs worldwide, and we conclude by highlighting the need to increase IPs' engagement in environmental decision-making regarding pollution control.

“…Notwithstanding the potential of Goffman's proposal for the analysis of an increasingly digital world (Vigmo & Lantz-Andersson, 2014;Leigh, 2017;Bullock, 2018;Portillo, Rudes, Viglione, & Nelson, 2013;Cho et al, 2016), there seems to be a greater plasticity in the presentation of the self in an online context, in a more fluid identity (Hanusch, 2017;Leaver & Highfield, 2018;Lyons, 2018), in which the professional, social and personal dimensions can be combined (Hanusch, 2017).…”

“…Backstage areas are, hence, like the backstage of a theatre outside the stage. Backstage allows actors to prepare their performance on stage by preparing their more formal performance to perform a role (Bute, 2016;Cain, 2012;Chen & Wang, 2018;Cho et al, 2016;Giddens, 1997;Goffman, 1993;Leigh, 2017). According to Cain (2012), -The two regions have a symbiotic relationship in that activities in the backstage allow workers to maintain appropriate behaviors during the front stage, while front stage activities provide fodder for discussions and activities in the back region‖ (p. 669).…”

Goffman’s Backstage Revisited: Conceptual Relevance in Contemporary Social Interactions

Goffman’s analytical proposal for the interpretation of situations of interaction was, according to the author himself, expressly formulated for face-to-face situations with the actors physically present. This conceptual paper aims to analyse some highlights specifically about backstage – its conceptual meaning and its potential heuristic relevance for the interpretation of social interactions in the contemporary world. For this purpose, a documentary selection geared by the concept of backstage was carried out, which allows considering that the sociological understanding of the interactions that take place in an online context could be deepened with an enhancement of Goffman’s theory considering that there is a tendency to a greater plasticity in the presentation of the self in this type of interactions with a greater identity flow.
