“…The AveTen and EnvTra variables were included because of the scarcity of research on the influence of board members' experience on business performance [123] and the importance of environmental management training in corporate environmental action [95], respectively. Research is lacking in this area, even though board members' experience and education are closely related to business performance [127] and hence environmental performance [101].…”

The tourism sector is a driver of economic development characterised by its environmental impact. It is a prevalent part of the 2030 Agenda, given its potential to help meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the same time, board gender diversity is considered essential for companies to implement environmentally sustainable initiatives. However, analysis of the relationship between the role of women on boards and environmental performance has been neglected in the tourism literature. This paper adopts a novel approach to the study of this sector by analysing the relationship between gender diversity on the board of directors and companies’ environmental practices. A fixed effects model is estimated using an international sample of 120 listed tourism companies for the period 2002 to 2019. The results show that boards that are more gender diverse and have a greater female presence are associated with poorer environmental performance and a weaker implementation of policies and practices to reduce resource use and emissions. However, board gender diversity aids performance in environmental innovation.

“…Signaling theory suggests CSR as an indicator of healthy financial performance, with increased CSR engagement beneficial for multiple stakeholders (Wu et al, 2020 cited in Kaur & Singh, 2021). Tejerina‐Gaite and Fernández‐Temprano (2020) emphasize the board as an amalgamation of individual competencies, acting as collective social capital to drive organizational efficiency. The alignment between managerial competence and the strategic objectives behind CSP can ultimately shape firm value (Cho & Lee, 2017).…”

Despite the growing literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), little is known about how the board of directors' competence can affect the CSR‐financial performance relationship during severe uncertainties such as the COVID‐19 outbreak. This paper focuses on exploring the mediating role of CSR in the connection between board competence and corporate financial performance amidst global uncertainties. The sample consists of Jordanian companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. Data were analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling. The findings show that boards' CSR competence has a direct and indirect positive impact on financial performance. Therefore, boards of directors' CSR competence can be seen as enablers for CSR activities. In this regard, companies could invest more in qualifying board directors to be socially responsible and enhance their role in improving corporate financial performance. This study identifies and provides empirical evidence on a critical enabler of CSR activities (i.e., boards of directors' CSR competence) from a developing country perspective. This, in turn, could widen the management and other stakeholders' understanding of CSR‐enhancing factors and therefore increase its efficiency. We provide theoretical and practical implications to guide regulators and businesses to ensure sustainable development.
