Semiotic Functions of Indexicality

By exploring how indexical signals interact with other semiotic components, as well as how social context affects their interpretation, this study fills a research gap and examines the complex function that these signs play in influencing meaning-making within communication. The present study employed theme analysis to look at public speeches, social media posts, and ads that promoted environmental awareness and community involvement. Themes about social action and environmental responsibility evolved, along with the identification of indexical signals. A comparative examination showed that although basic themes were shared across societies, how particular indications were interpreted differed according to social and cultural situations. Indexical signals interact with other semiotic components to create meaning, as demonstrated by semiotic analysis. This study underscores the significance of indexicality in communicating complex concepts and the necessity of employing culturally sensitive communication techniques. These results might be useful in developing messages that effectively encourage global community involvement and environmental awareness.

CFO SERVING AS BOARD SECRETARY AND ENTERPRISE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE

This study utilizes data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2020 as research samples to explore the impact of CFOs serving as board secretary on the quality of information disclosure, financing constraints, and enterprise sustainable development performance. The empirical results indicate that CFOs holding the additional role of secretary of the board significantly enhance the financial performance and environmental and social responsibility performance of companies. The quality of information disclosure and financing constraints act as mediators between the dual role of the CFO and sustainable development performance. Heterogeneity analysis finds that in non-state-owned enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises, the effects of CFOs serving concurrently as secretaries of the board on improving financial performance, environmental social responsibility performance, information disclosure quality, and alleviating financing constraints are more pronounced. The findings of this study delve into the impact of the dual role of CFOs on sustainable development performance, enrich the literature in the relevant field, and provide valuable theoretical basis and practical guidance for the selection and appointment of corporate executives, tailored for journal publication requirements.

Greenwashing or Game Changer of Corporatesustainability: Impact on Environment, Society, and Governance (ESG)

The argument raised in green washing research that the voluntary CESR (Corporate Environmental Social Responsibility) approach stimulates the spread of greenwashing is our keyfinding leading to ourtheory contribution. The voluntary idea of CESR remains popular in CESR literature and searches to be an unclear field which allows for misleading 'green' communication. As public awareness about green washing has increased over the last two decades, likewise has academic research, and there is now a significant amount of researchaddressing greenwashing issues. In this paper, we analyse and evaluate green washing research to provide a review of trends and progress in the field and an overview of the empirical andtheoretical findings reported in previous studies. As a result, we argue that greenwashing couldbe better prevented through a combination of voluntary and mandatory approaches. The freshapproach should encourage innovative and compelling corporate CESR activities while definingthe boundaries and regulations for their achievements and communication, as companies may break legislation by over stretching CESR reports. They are vulner able to the phenomena recognised in the literature as "green washing" because of their stake holders' perceptions. Consequently, this paper aims to exam in ethephenomena of green washing and trace its development in the current body of research.

Environmental Social Responsibility, Local Environmental Protection Strategy, and Corporate Financial Performance – Empirical Evidence from Heavy Pollution Industry

Abstract This article empirically examines the “responsibility-performance” interaction in the process of environmental social responsibility decision-making by enterprises, using the listed companies in the heavy pollution industry as the research sample. We also use the evolutionary game theory to construct a system dynamics model for simulation analysis to explore the evolutionary qualities of the environmental responsibility behavior of heavily polluting enterprises and its relationship with financial performance under the influence of local government environmental regulation. It finds that for environmental social responsibility, a company's expected performance surplus is more likely to promote positive interaction between responsibility and performance than a gap; for regions with relatively negative environmental strategies, environmental social responsibility provides more efficient reputation transformation and motivates companies to invest in it; more competitive industries and enterprises with forward-looking environmental strategies tend to put performance feedback into the undertaking of environmental social responsibility. Therefore, the government and regulatory authorities should urge heavy polluting enterprises to implement environmental responsibility, so that they can fully realize that emission reduction and growth can be achieved at the same time and promote the financial performance of enterprises and environmental responsibility while forming a win–win situation at the ecological level and corporate social level.

Enhancing the corporate social & environmental responsibility of Chinese energy enterprises: A view from the role of management compensation incentive

Energy enterprises are an important basis for ensuring national energy security and economic development, and their social responsibility is closely related to addressing environmental concerns such as over-exploitation of resources and excessive discharge of pollution. The casual effects of management compensation incentives on corporate social & environmental responsibility are explored based on the panel data of Chinese energy enterprises from 2010 to 2021 using the instrumental variable estimation method. The results indicate that management salary incentives can significantly promote the implementation of corporate social responsibility and environmental responsibility, while the proportion of management shareholding will reduce corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental responsibility (CER) activities. In addition, there are obvious industry differences and corporate ownership differences in the effects of management compensation incentives on CSR and CER. The negative impact of equity incentives on CSR and CER is even more pronounced in the electricity and environmental industry, and salary incentives have a greater positive effect on CSR for state-owned enterprises. The study shows that enterprises should focus on the salary incentive of managers and appropriately reduce their shareholding. The government should pay attention to the development of state-owned energy enterprises, and limit the shareholding ratio of management through policies and other incentive systems.

Villages are the initial milestone for developing a country, if a village is strong it will have an impact on economic sustainability, for this reason it is necessary to map village potential so that later it can be developed and connected to environmental social responsibility (TJSL) programs. To build a village, potential data is needed, later this will become the basis for pentahelic collaboration to build villages. By looking at socio-economic aspects consisting of education level, employment, income, expenditure, waste management and the environment. The peripheral villages are dominated by oil palm plantations and the people also work as oil palm farmers. A small number work in the government, trade and private sectors. Other results are also in the agricultural sector, but very few people are involved in this field. The commodities produced include cassava and vegetables. They process the sweet potatoes into chips, tape, fried foods and others. The large area of plantation land should be supported by the availability of organic fertilizer but currently they only use manufactured chemical fertilizer. In the future, it is necessary to encourage the development of organic fertilizer production for the environmentally friendly fertilizer needs of the plantation and agricultural sectors.

Effects of climate policy uncertainty on green innovation in Chinese enterprises

Climate policy uncertainty is an important factor for green innovation in Chinese enterprises. Drawing on data of officially listed enterprises in China from 2011 to 2020 this paper empirically tests the impact and mechanism of climate policy uncertainty on enterprises green innovation. Climate policy uncertainty has a significant negative impact on enterprises green innovation. Increasing climate policy uncertainty will inhibit enterprises green innovation. The intrinsic mechanism shows that the mediation effects of government green subsidies, environmental social responsibility, and financing constraints are significant. Increasing climate policy uncertainty inhibits green innovation by reducing government green subsidies, constraining enterprises to fulfilling their environmental social responsibility and raising financing constraints. All levels of the government in China should pay close attention to the impact of changes in the United States climate policies on enterprises.

Research on the Impact of Green Credit Policy on Corporate Environmental Social Responsibility

Since the 1970s, my country's industrialization process has continued to advance. However, with the improvement of economic level, the contradiction between my country's economic growth and environmental protection has become increasingly prominent. Green development has become an important principle guiding the high-quality development of my country's economy in the new era. In response to increasingly severe environmental problems, my country promulgated the "Green Credit Guidelines" in 2012, requiring financial institutions to include enterprises' environmental performance into credit review standards, implement differentiated credit interest rates for different enterprises, and raise the threshold for corporate loans. Penal high-interest credit is issued to highly polluting enterprises to limit the blind expansion of pollution-intensive industries. Since debt financing from banks and other financial institutions is the main source of funds for Chinese enterprises, changes in credit principles will inevitably affect the business and development strategies of enterprises. Then, can the green credit policy promote high-polluting enterprises to undertake environmental and social responsibilities? This issue deserves our in-depth study. This article designs a quasi-experimental based on the "Green Credit Guidelines" promulgated in 2012, constructs a difference-in-difference model to study the impact of green credit policies on corporate environmental responsibility levels, and analyzes the transmission mechanism of this impact. At the same time, it analyzes the differentiated impact of the "Green Credit Guidelines" on corporate environmental social responsibility under different enterprise sizes, proportions of institutional investors, regional legal environments, and factor market development levels.

Personal protective equipment waste management behavior of undergraduates in Xi'an City based on extended theory of value-identity-personal norm model

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed people’s lives, with the most prominent change being the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In this study, we used the extended Value-Identity-Personal (VIP) norm model to empirically analyze the influencing factors of Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) among college students in Xi 'an, China, while considering the usage of PPE as an example of PEB. We proposed nine hypothetical questions, and the VIP model was established through the SmartPLS software to test the valid questionnaires of 414 college students. The verification results indicated that all the nine hypotheses were supported statistically, with personal environmental social responsibility and personal norms showing the most significant direct impact on PEB; notably, personal norms were also strongly influenced by environmental personal social responsibility. Biosphere values affected PEB indirectly, through self-identity and individual norms. This study proposes viable countermeasures and suggestions for college students to improve PEB; our findings can serve as a reference for policymakers and stakeholders to ensure the effective waste management of personal safety equipment.

Why Do Employees Show Pro-Environmental Behaviors? A Perspective of Environment Social Responsibility.

This research uses social identity theory to propose that environmental social responsibility perceptions influence green commitment, and then influence pro-environmental behaviors, which are moderated by institutional pressure. Data were collected from 100 employees of technology firms in Taiwan, and the results support all hypotheses. This research chose technology firms as empirical data because Taiwan's technological level is known to the world, which can reduce sampling errors caused by the lack of environmental knowledge. Finally, this research not only advances the literature on sustainability issues in organizational management but also provides a paradigm to help firms implement pro-environmental behaviors to achieve competitive advantage and sustainable development goals.

The Impact of adopting Balanced Score card- Environmental Social Responsibility Indicator in achieving qualified financial projects (Central Bank of Iraq CBI as a case study)

Problem Statement: economic environment differs than before, due to the rapid strategic changes and high level of demand for qualified services and/ or goods, that leads to another sense of competing among businesses, especially in last decades of 20th century, business environment involved in globalization to response and satisfy customers depending on the interaction between society as (external environment) and business’s infrastructure as (internal environment). These changes need a rapid response that means using new systems in planning strategies, organizing, leading and controlling as well to sustain and survive.
 Methodology: it is a descriptive paper that analyze the results through depending on non- experimental design through three (retrospective, longitudinal, and cross- sectional) indicators to examine environmental social responsibility ESP as one of balanced score card perspectives. Results: there is a positive impact of adopting ESRP to achieve qualified financial projects. Conclusion: the interlinkage between external environment (society) and internal one (business infrastructure) is very tight, but the horizon to understand this tight relationship is still fuzzy, due to the dynamic changes of those interlinkages and more efforts have to be done to enrich this phenomenon.
