Stakeholder Pressure and Sustainability Report Quality in Indonesia

2024-10-30T10:29:10+00:00

Public companies owe stakeholders a social duty. Public companies must report all work-related performance, initiatives, and accomplishments in their sustainability reports. Many legal frameworks and requirements do not require issuers, especially publicly traded companies, to publish sustainability reports separately from annual reports. This research uses environmentally sensitive companies to distinguish between primary and secondary stakeholders in this study. The regression analysis on IDX companies in an environmentally sensitive stock index was used to determine how stakeholder pressure and sustainable reporting affect them. Pressure from stakeholders improves sustainability reporting. Government and employee pressure affect sustainability reporting quality more than consumer and investor pressure. Additionally, larger companies report sustainability better. State-owned enterprises with many workers report sustainability better. Employees expect companies to care about social and environmental issues, so more employees in one company tend to get more disclosure pressure. State-owned enterprise companies are more organised and follow government regulations, especially sustainability. Employee and government pressure improve sustainability reporting quality, but consumer and investor results are insignificant. The limitation of this study is that only using a small sample size and focusing only on environmentally friendly companies limited this study. It would be better for future research to study all Indonesian industries and use better measurement for each variable used.

2024-10-30T09:53:54+00:00

Web-to-print (W2P), also known as online printing or print e-commerce, has transformed print consumption behaviour considerably. It allows print buyers to place and fulfil orders via online platforms, eliminating the need for face-to-face contact. Previous research has examined the broad spectrum of online print buying, but there is a dearth of knowledge on online printing in the context of a developing economy like Nigeria. To fill this gap, this study explores web-enabled printing in the print and graphic arts industry in Nigeria, focusing on the digital marketing activities of Nigerian online printing companies. Utilising online research methods, data (SEO rankings) on the websites of Nigerian online printing companies were analysed, along with secondary data sources. The study revealed the digital marketing strategies used by Nigerian web-to-print businesses to achieve long-term success, highlighting the relevance of an effective online promotional strategy in achieving business success and sustainable growth. The need for further research into the social media marketing practices of Nigerian online printing companies was highlighted. Furthermore, it is imperative for online companies to embrace a digital strategy that encompasses word-of-mouth marketing, search engine marketing, and social media advertising to enhance their online presence. By providing an understanding of web-to-print (W2P) adoption, this study contributes to the limited knowledge of online printing in Nigeria.

Relationship between Environmental Reporting Practices and Financial Performance of Some Select Companies in the USA: An Empirical Study

2025-02-28T03:30:25+00:00

Environmental reporting involves organizations disclosing their environmental performance to promote transparency, accountability, and sustainability. This study examines corporate environmental disclosure practices in the U.S., emphasizing their relationship with financial attributes and their impact on environmental performance. By analyzing key financial indicators like CRR, WTA, DBTA, CFTA, and ROTA - the study finds a meaningful collective relationship with environmental disclosure (ENVNDS). However, more than half of the variability (55.3%) remains unexplained, suggesting that additional factors influence ENVNDS. The weak and statistically insignificant relationship between DBTA and WTA further highlights the complexity of financial-environmental interactions. Benchmarking frameworks like GRI-302, GRI-303, GRI-305, and GRI-306 help assess corporate compliance and environmental performance. Despite some limitations, environmental reporting has become integral to corporate transparency and sustainability efforts in the U.S.A. Future research should focus on improving environmental disclosure metrics, evaluating the influence of reporting on organizational behaviour, and assessing the long-term benefits of transparency. A deeper understanding of these factors can enhance reporting frameworks and drive meaningful corporate sustainability initiatives.
