Summary: This study explores the impact of societal trust on corporate environmental strategy, particularly on the likelihood of achieving ISO 14001 certification. The negative effect of societal trust on ISO 14001 certification is more pronounced for firms collaborating closely with environmental groups, but weaker in higher market uncertainty. These findings contribute significantly to both academic and practical fields.

Summary: Drawing on upper echelon theory, this study examines the impact of top management team (TMT) gender diversity on the adoption of environmental standards in emerging countries. The study also investigates how this impact is influenced by women executives' personal attributes, as well as organizational and institutional conditions. The findings suggest that the proportion of women in TMTs is positively related to the likelihood of ISO 14001 certification and renewal, and this relationship is strengthened by high institutional gender parity, women executives' power, and CSR committees.

Summary: Despite general interest in the circular economy, organizations face difficulties in implementing circular practices. Developing absorptive capacity (ACAP) can promote circularity within organizations. The study highlights the relationship between ACAP and organizational performance, and demonstrates that ACAP significantly facilitates the implementation of a circular economy and internalization of an environmental management system (EMS), leading to improved overall performance. The research expands academic literature by framing the circular economy with ACAP theory and offers insights for practitioners on identifying opportunities from a circular economy and the effect of internalizing EMSs on economic performance, environmental performance, and reputation.

Summary: The scarcity of conventional fossil energy resources and environmental pollution have led to the increasing trade of solar energy products in China. This study investigates the impact of voluntary environmental regulation on China's solar energy industry trade flows. By analyzing panel data of Chinese solar energy industry exports to 46 countries from 2002 to 2020 using a fixed effect regression model, the results indicate that the voluntary environmental regulation of export destination countries has a significant positive effect on China's exports, while the bilateral gap in voluntary environmental regulation has a negative effect. Moreover, reducing the bilateral gap in voluntary environmental regulation has a greater promoting effect on exports to developed countries compared to developing countries, indicating country heterogeneity. Additionally, increased trade friction weakens the role of host countries' voluntary environmental regulations in promoting exports. The implication of this study is that voluntary environmental regulation has economic effects such as demand effect, information effect, and common language effect, which are crucial for the sustainable and stable development of solar energy trade.

Summary: Environmental concerns in the construction sector necessitate meaningful measures, but the implementation of environmental management systems (EMS) in the US construction sector is slow. This study explores US stakeholders' views on the benefits and barriers of EMS implementation, comparing them internationally. Results show that EMS benefits include improved public perception, reduced waste levels, and improved environmental standards, while barriers include subcontractor cooperation, resistance to change, and additional employee training. This work highlights the potential impact of EMS implementation in the US construction sector and the obstacles that need to be addressed.

Summary: This article examines the implementation of environmental objectives in ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) in organizations. The study reveals that employees and customers are rarely involved in setting environmental objectives, which are primarily determined by top managers and environmental managers. The most common objectives focus on energy/climate, waste, and water consumption, while objectives related to biodiversity, lifecycle assessments, and design are less utilized.

Summary: This study reveals two main problems arising from the use of GRI guidelines through a case study of Hydro-Quebec and the Cree community: first, how these guidelines frame the sustainability reporting discourse, leaving aspects of organizational sustainability performance in shadows; second, how they are ontologically driven by a Western view of nature, silencing alternative ontologies in organizational sustainability performance reporting.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of alternative filtering materials and bed aeration on the retention of nutrients and fecal bacteria in woodchip bedded stand-off pads for cows. The results showed that the alternative biofilters were more efficient in removing COD, SS, TN, and NO3-N, while conventional biofilters were more efficient for PO4-P removal. Aeration did not have a significant effect under the tested temperature conditions.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: In this study, an electron beam excitation multi-wavelength ultraviolet (EBE-MW-UV) system was established and found to have significantly higher microbial inactivation effects compared to single-wavelength UV-LEDs in water. Mechanism analysis revealed that EBE-MW-UV damaged microbial DNA and proteins, and generated additional reactive oxygen species, leading to microbial inactivation.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of an air-lift bio-electrochemical reactor (ALBER) with a continuous feeding regime to enhance nitrogen removal from synthetic wastewater. The effect of temperature, hydraulic retention time (HRT), N -NH+4 /TN ratio, and current density on the reactor performance was investigated, and the ALBER achieved a maximum TN removal of 73%. The results suggest that the ALBER has potential for treating industrial wastewater at low temperatures.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
