Are corporate environmental activities to meet sustainable development goals (SDGs) simply greenwashing? An empirical study of environmental management control systems in Vietnamese companies from the stakeholder management perspective

The purpose of this study is to address the criticism that corporate environmental activities to meet the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) are simply greenwashing. To this end, we clarify whether and why corporate environmental activities are effective in achieving SDGs from the stakeholder management perspective. Using data on Vietnamese companies, we first empirically clarify the influence of stakeholder pressure on a company's environmental management control system (EMCS) implementation as a comprehensive approach to environmental activities and maintaining a proactive attitude toward the SDGs. Second, we examine the influence of EMCS implementation on environmental performance with or without proactive attitudes. The main findings are as follows. Companies implementing EMCSs normally improve their environmental performance, and pressure from final consumers and the government is a precondition for this accomplishment. However, if these companies incorporate the SDGs into their business targets, they can actually improve their environmental performance somewhat further, and government pressure plays an important role in this additional accomplishment. Therefore, corporate environmental activities to meet the SDGs work better than existing activities in Vietnam, refuting the criticism of greenwashing. Importantly, the Vietnamese government as a powerful stakeholder has proactively promoted domestic structural change to achieve the SDGs and has enacted many policies to encourage companies to be proactive in their environmental activities.

PERSPEKTIF AKUNTANSI MANAJEMEN LINGKUNGAN DAN PENGUNGKAPANNYA PADA NILAI PERUSAHAAN

Company development does not only focus on maximum profit but also social and environmental welfare. This is in accordance with the principle of triple botton line accounting which consists of profit, planet and people. If the triple bottom line principle is not implemented, the company's environmental management is not organized, the company's environmental performance will decline and the company's desire to protect the environment is low. With environmental management accounting (EMA), companies can identify, assign and allocate costs accurately to a product or process, so that management is able to perform efficiency. EMA facilitates management in managing companies related to environmental performance management because of the availability of information starting from the use of raw materials, energy used, and water and the results of business processes such as waste. The importance of environmental performance in increasing the value of a company motivates researchers to determine whether the company's environmental performance and environmental disclosure have an effect on firm value. By using the sample selection criteria with purposive sampling, namely manufacturing companies that participated in PROPER 2016-2018, 15 companies were obtained as samples in this study. By using the PLS warp, the results show that Environmental Management Accounting has a positive effect on firm size, Environmental Management Accounting has a positive effect on Environmental Disclosure and Environmental Disclosure has a positive effect on firm size.

Mixed methodology to analyze the relationship between maturity of environmental management and the adoption of green supply chain management in Brazil

The aim of this research is to verify the relationship between the maturity levels of environmental management and the adoption of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices by electro-electronic companies in Brazil. In this work a two-phase research was conducted, with one quantitative and the other qualitative. The quantitative phase aimed to test whether a relationship between the maturity levels of environmental management and GSCM exists, while the qualitative phase tried to detail the characteristics of this relationship. The quantitative phase was conducted through a survey with 100 Brazilian electro-electronic companies and the collected data were processed using Structural Equation Modeling. For the qualitative phase, a multiple case study was conducted with three companies located in Brazil. The results indicate that: (1) The main hypothesis was confirmed and considered statistically valid, indicating that, indeed, the maturity level of environmental management influences the adoption of GSCM practices; (2) a coevolution tends to occur between the environmental maturity and the GSCM practices; that is, the more developed is the company's environmental management, more complex GSCM practices are adopted; and (3) the GSCM internal practices tend to present a greater relative adoption than the external practices; these external practices of GSCM tend to be adopted when the company is inserted in a higher environmental stage and/or operates under a scenario of stronger normative environmental pressure. By the way, this is the first research mixing survey and case studies on GSCM in Brazil.
