“…The significance of information transparency for organizations has been extensively confirmed in prior research (Ding et al, 2022; Lin, 2016; Yu et al, 2017), as it has the potential to boost confidence, establish a good standing, minimize risk, and foster sustainable growth (Bloomfield & Wilks, 2000; Chen et al, 2023; Ospital et al, 2023). Moreover, earlier studies suggest that heightened information transparency may decrease information risk and information asymmetry between firms and investors (Yu et al, 2017; Zhou et al, 2018).…”

This study focuses on exploring the factors influencing why companies engage in greenhushing decisions in the cultural backgrounds of China and Republic of Korea. Structural equation modeling analysis indicates that in these two countries, reputational risk not only directly leads to corporate greenhushing behavior, but also exerts its influence through conservatism as a mediating factor. Reputational risk causes companies to exhibit conservatism, which in turn leads to the adoption of greenhushing behavior. Furthermore, tests for moderation effects revealed that, in the Chinese sample data, a transparent information disclosure mechanism has the ability to mitigate the impact of reputational risk on corporate greenhushing behavior, as well as to alleviate the influence of conservatism on corporate greenhushing behavior. In the South Korean sample data, a transparent information disclosure mechanism can moderate the impact of reputational risk on conservatism and corporate greenhushing behavior. Finally, the fsQCA method is tested to derive the different configurations and pathways that lead to the strong emergence of greenhushing behavior in companies in China and Republic of Korea, as well as to identify the most influential pathways. This study provides substantial theoretical support for further exploration of the causal mechanisms of corporate greenhushing behavior and promotion of cross‐cultural comparisons and learning in the international environmental management field. In addition, provides rich empirical support and theoretical guidance for corporate environmental management decision‐making and policy formulation. The findings highlight the further standardization and strengthening of transparent information disclosure mechanisms will be an important direction for future environmental policy development.

“…This information can be useful to raise awareness of the interlinkages between olive oil exports and groundwater pollution in certain areas of Argentina, such as La Rioja. Trade enables countries to outsource their production by importing products, but product transparency and traceability are key to avoiding unintended consequences [76,77].…”

Argentina stands as the leading producer and exporter of olive products in the Americas, with the province of La Rioja as its main productive area. Since the 1990s, the olive grove cultivated area and related agro-industry in La Rioja have expanded. However, the resulting wastewater has generally been neglected. The water footprint (WF) provides information about the water volume consumed and polluted by a production process. Since the 1990s, agricultural and agro-industrial activities in La Rioja have experienced substantial growth. This study aims to analyze the generation, quality, and management of Oil Mill Wastewater (OMWW) using the grey WF of chloride and nitrate as an indicator and focusing on two olive mills (OM) in La Rioja. Additionally, it seeks to examine the relationship between the international trade of provincial olive oil and the estimated grey WF. For the diagnosis of OMWW generation, a description of the production process was made coupled with flow and physico-chemical characterization. The total grey WF was 8.69 and 45.5 L water/L olive oil for OM 1 and OM 2, respectively. Nitrate was identified as the critical pollutant. The grey virtual water export related to the export of olive oil was 5569 m3 for OM 1 and 28,000 m3 for OM 2. The provincial grey virtual water export related to olive oil was 161,955 m3 with major trade destinations including Spain, the United States, and Brazil. The article analyses for the first time the grey WF of olive oil industries and assess the related grey virtual water exports. This research represents a step forward in the knowledge of wastewater management in the olive oil sector and facilitates the search for solutions to minimize negative environmental impacts while promoting cleaner production.

“…Aunque todavía no está definida la fecha de entrada en vigor de la obligatoriedad de este elemento, se espera que, como tarde, en 2030 todos los productos cuenten con el PPD (Douglass, 2023). De acuerdo con Ospital et al (2023), los principales objetivos del PPD incluyen mejorar la eficiencia de los recursos y el flujo de materiales, permitir que los consumidores y todas las partes interesadas tomen decisiones informadas con transparencia sobre el impacto del ciclo de vida de los productos, mejorar la circularidad -esto es, conocer las posibilidades de desemsamblaje de la prenda y entender las opciones que se presentan para el final de su vida útil-, ayudar a las autoridades públicas a verificar y controlar mejor la cadena de suministros y producción de los artículos. Sin duda, una parte importante para que este proyecto sea exitoso, es la recopilación de datos fiable y estandarizada, así como la voluntad de todas las partes involucradas en la cadena de producción de compartir información de manera transparente.…”

“…El PPD vincula la trazabilidad y la transparencia utilizando tecnologías digitales de información y comunicación para recopilar y proporcionar los datos recopilados sobre producto. En el caso específico de la industria textil, es sin duda un paso muy ambicioso para lograr la transparencia y fomentar la ética de la cadena de valor, dado que, en la actualidad, la única información obligatoria es la composición y la información del fabricante (Ospital et al, 2022).…”
