Abstract

By concentrating on determining the effect of mandatory carbon disclosure on financial performance, the study assists corporate managers in effectively understanding the significance of carbon information disclosure and searching for enhanced ways of amplifying carbon disclosure. The paper examines the impact of mandatory carbon disclosure on the corporate financial performance of 45 Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed cement and mining companies considered carbon-intensive entities from 2014 to 2021. This examination is based on the legitimacy theory. To attain the critical aim of the study, panel regression analysis is conducted with the assistance of SPSS 28. Financial performance was measured by return on assets, return on equity and net profit margin. Carbon disclosure was measured by carbon disclosure scores developed by Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The study reports that all financial performance proxies are positively and significantly related to carbon disclosure. To upsurge financial performance, the sampled companies must keep extensively disclosing carbon information in their annual reports per the mandatory expectations. Therefore, this paper provides evidence that mandatory carbon disclosure is a source of better financial performance and critical for the corporate sector to accomplish sustainability.

Abstract

The importance of properly managing environmental costs cannot be underestimated. This paper investigated the relationship between environmental costs and financial performance of 45 cement and mining listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2021. Financial performance is measured by return on equity whilst environmental cost is proxied by carbon management costs, recycling costs and pollution prevention costs. Control variables such as growth, leverage, size and debt ratio are used in this study. The study applied a quantitative research approach using an ex-post facto research design. The researchers adopted a panel regression analysis. The result of the study indicates a negative and significant association between environmental costs and return on equity. It was concluded that environmental costs reduce profitability in form of return of equity of the sampled companies. This study has practical implications of motivating corporate managers to proactively manage environmental costs in order to improve corporate financial performance. Additionally, it helps to practically shape environmental policies that intend to augment environmental performance.

Abstract

The role of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) in the growth of organisations has expanded significantly in recent literature. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are crucial in global affairs and have different operating contexts, but it is unclear how their use of IFRS is of sufficient quality to satisfy various stakeholders' interests. On this question, this article investigated the managers' perceptions of IFRS practices and quality in a large NGO in Durban, South Africa. A qualitative approach was employed, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 24 purposively selected participants. The interviews were recorded and later transcribed. Robustness analysis was performed using conventional thematic content analysis. Evidence from this study showed that despite adopting IFRS accounting and financial procedures, the managers of the selected NGO found it difficult to have quality financial statements due to IFRS for SMEs failing to fit NGOs' operating context. This article established NGOs managers' perceptions of the role of IFRS in managing diverse NGOs stakeholders' interests, provided recommendations applicable to similar NGOs globally and contributed to the scholarly debates for policymakers and practitioners on using IFRS for SMEs in NGOs. This study has also provided a very robust plan for future researchers.

Abstract

Understanding the perceptions of local communities towards participatory forest management (PFM) is essential for successful improvements of PFM regarding forest conservation and livelihood improvement. However, there is a lack of research evidence on the perception of local communities for PFM intervention. To better understand the local communities’ perception of PFM, 131 households were surveyed. Data were collected through the household survey; key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussion (FGD), and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results show that the households perceived that there is no deforestation due to the intervention of PFM which leads increment of species diversity, increasing of forest coverage, increased productivity of the forest, and increase valuable species. Respondents also perceived that the PFM has opportunities to change a negative attitude to a positive through giving of power to the local community, enables bounded members, bringing the right to exclude non-PFM members, creates a sense of belongingness, and encourage the right to use the forest products. The finding demonstrated forest income was second contributor of household income among income sources. Actions such as better protection of existing forests to avoid overuse, access to alternative livelihood diversification, better access to market, access to better skills and knowledge on the collection and use of forest products and reforestation were suggested to increase the existing benefits and management of PFM. The finding of the study suggests further improvement of local communities’ perception and attitudes as well as providing alternatives to improve forest conditions and livelihood.

Abstract

Most companies make extensive use of environmental sustainability as they receive pressure to operate in an environmentally sustainable manner. Companies are struggling to implement environmental management accounting practices in their operations. Accordingly, research on environmental sustainability difficulties in the context of environmental management accounting in food and beverage manufacturing enterprises is limited. The paper investigates how the barriers to environmental sustainability influence the implementation of environmental management accounting (EMA) in the food and beverage manufacturing firms in Durban, South Africa. A quantitative research approach was applied, using convenience sampling because the data was collected during the strict regulations of the Covid-19 period. The Likert questionnaire (five-point scale) collected quantitative data and it was analyzed using SPSS, performing Pearson's correlation research and regression analysis. The Pearson's correlation coefficient findings show a statistically significant association between environmental sustainability bottlenecks and environmental management accounting in food and beverage manufacturing enterprises at (r = .250, p < 0.0005). As barriers to sustainability decrease, the implementation of environmental management accounting practices will be easier for these firms. The results of regression analysis, show the independent variable, barriers to sustainability, as a major predictor of environmental management accounting, B= 0.442, p< 0.05. It can be suggested that the SA government make the use of EMA practices mandatory for companies that have a negative impact on the environment.

Abstract

There is a significant gap in emerging nations such as Ghana on factors influencing the adoption of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), as most of these studies are conducted in advanced nations. As a result, this study investigates the factors influencing manufacturing companies in Ghana's adoption of SSCM practices. Three hundred and three 303 manufacturing firms with an annual turnover of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) were purposively selected for the study. Throughout the study, close-ended questionnaires were adopted for the data collection. Structural equation model (SEM) was used to examine empirically the factors that influence the firms’ adoption of SSCM. The study revealed that adoption of SSCM is influenced by instrumental, moral, and knowledge factors. Based on the study outcomes presented and discussed, the study concluded that instrumental, relational, moral and knowledge factors affected the adoption of SSCM practices by firms in Ghana Further studies on the subject can adopt a case study approach, as this method will be able to investigate the topic in a manner that allows for a more in-depth comprehension of the subject in a particular context.

Abstract

The South African Government has made accessibility and equity the primary focus of its health policy objectives since 1994. However, the extent to which these policies achieve their aims of lessening inequality is not synthetically documented. This study critically reviews and synthesises the literature on the nature of the South African health system, user’s satisfaction and key performance scores. The study conducted a content analysis of several research papers and policy papers in the South African health sector. The review showed that the current health system is dualistic, indicating that the public health system is not living up to the National Core Scores and that this has impacted negatively on the level of satisfaction of households. The evidence demonstrated ongoing discrepancies in access to and use of health services, notwithstanding legislative initiatives. Moreover, the review showed that user’s perceptions of the quality of public healthcare services are deteriorating in South Africa. There is evidence of treatment delays, long waiting times, acute shortages of doctors, specialists and nurses, a lack of appropriate medication and poor health services delivery. The evidence provided about the South African health system can contribute to global policy discussions about health equity on the use of health services by households from different socioeconomic backgrounds and how policies can increase access to quality health care for low-income households.

Abstract

Communication that does not run smoothly will cause miscommunication. In family communication that is carried out between parents and children, if miscommunication is not immediately resolved, there will be communication congestion. One way to solve this problem is through coaching. In this case, parents become a coach for their children, which is called a "parent coach," by using the SCORE model. This study aims to improve communication skills for parents and strengthen children's cognitive, affective, and communicative abilities. This study uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The results show that through communication based on family coaching and utilizing the score model, parents have good questioning skills so as to produce optimal performance as parents and provide opportunities for children to provide feedback to parents. and parents are trained to be good listeners. With a series of actions taken by parents through coaching sessions, parents can find out the values of life that are considered "valuable" for children.
