Using panel data of S&P 1500 firms from 2005 to 2024, I investigate the effect of a firm's effort to reduce biodiversity impact on sustainable business practices. I uncover strong evidence that firms engaging in biodiversity impact reduction practices have Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores that are, on average, 13.42 points higher than those that do not. I further document that firms having the capacity to reduce environmental costs through environmental technologies have a mediating role in the relationship between biodiversity impact reduction and ESG performance. My study contributes to the corporate biodiversity and environmental management literature and offers policy‐relevant insights into how biodiversity‐related disclosures are perceived in ESG assessments.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 (Life on Land) (SDG 15: LoL) has gained renewed importance as biodiversity and land conservation emerge as strategic imperatives for sustainable business practices. I use logistic regression to investigate corporate environmental initiatives' influence on advancing SDG 15. Framing my arguments within the corporate environmental reputation framework and building on the resource‐based view and dynamic capability theory, I propose that environmental initiatives, namely: biodiversity impact reduction, environmental restoration, environmental expenditure, environmental supply chain management, and environmental partnership, have positive effects on supporting SDG 15. The study findings reveal the strategic role of environmental initiatives in advancing SDG 15, offering insights for corporations and policymakers seeking to align business practices with SDG 15. Further, I document that the effect of environmental expenditure and environmental partnerships on SDG 15 is more pronounced when there is an absence of biodiversity impact reduction, environmental restoration, and environmental supply chain management.

Firms are increasingly integrating United Nations Development Goals 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Climate action) as a part of their sustainability strategies. However, prior research has rarely examined how these SDGs interact as a unified capability rather than as isolated practices. Drawing on the Strategic Green Synergy (SGS) framework, the firm's integrative capability to align environmental identity (who we are), green innovation (what we do), and green disclosure (what we communicate) to generate superior corporate social responsibility (CSR) outcomes. Employing panel data of US firms from 2015 to 2024, this study reconceptualises eco‐innovation as an internal operational capability that facilitates the translation of green strategy into CSR. This relationship is mediated by green innovation products and is intensified in sustainability reporting firms. The study findings suggest that innovating green products is crucial, an under‐theorised mechanism advancing SDGs 12 and 13, shaping the association between green strategy orientation and CSR.

Employing FTSE Russell's unique Green Revenues data on S&P 1500 firms from 2016 to 2024, this study examines the long‐term effects of a corporate strategic shift toward green strategy, proxied by green revenue reporting, on corporate sustainability performance. Using ordinary least squares, complemented by the treatment model, the study's findings reveal that adopting a strategic shift to green strategy has a persistently positive effect on firm‐level sustainability performance. The treatment effects of green revenue reporting are exceptionally robust with firm‐level controls. This study further documents that the environmental innovation score mediates the relationship between green strategy and sustainability performance. Given the study's various novelties, the hypothesis is empirically robust and is of significant value to future studies.

This study explores the role of willingness and membership in global environmental engagement, focusing on how these factors influence environmental action across diverse global populations. Using a combination of latent class analysis and logistic regression models, we examine the impact of the willingness to contribute financially, environmental membership, and trust in people, alongside demographic variables such as gender, age, and education level. Our findings highlight the significant role of environmental membership and the willingness to act in shaping behaviours, with gender and trust further influencing engagement patterns. This promotes the UN’s sustainable goals, primarily Climate Action. These insights contribute to understanding the drivers of environmental activism globally.
