ABSTRACT In a global business environment where ethical lapses increasingly undermine corporate credibility, can enhanced governance mechanisms and CSR engagement drive behavior? This study explores the intricate relationship between attributes Business Ethical Practices (BEP), examining how moderates this across 386 manufacturing firms in BRICS countries from 2010 to 2022. Grounded Stakeholder Agency Theories, research investigates three core strands: diversity, structural, process attributes. Using Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator, findings reveal that gender diversity age positively influence BEP, while national has negative association, raising concerns about alignment foreign board members with local standards. Board independence size significantly enhance practices, CEO duality negatively affects emphasizing importance independent oversight. Among attributes, meetings tenure contribute meeting attendance shows suggesting mere presence without meaningful participation may not guarantee outcomes. Notably, amplifies positive effects mitigates influences, reinforcing its critical role as enhancer. Heterogeneity analyses types (Job Shop, Batch, Continuous Process, Mass Production) confirmed consistency these findings. Furthermore, robustness tests, including cluster analysis, sensitivity endogeneity controls, validated reliability results. The provides targeted policy recommendations advocating for stronger mandates, deeper integration, training, practical implications emphasize comprehensive frameworks long‐term sustainability.

ABSTRACT In an era where sustainability has transitioned from being optional to essential, how can firms transform governance and financing strategies lead the transition toward a circular economy (CE)? This study makes vital contribution evolving fields of CE, sustainability, corporate by investigating dynamic interplay between firm structures (FGS), (FS), technological innovation (TI) in enhancing CE performance across US, China, Japan. Grounded Resource‐Based View Agency Theory, examines four critical dimensions: leadership, composition, diversity, structure alongside debt equity strategies. To ensure methodological rigor, panel models Generalized Method Moments (GMM) estimator are employed, complemented instrumental variable approaches. Drawing on comprehensive dataset 461 2000 2022, findings reveal significant regional disparities FGS FS influence performance, with TI emerging as pivotal moderating factor. The further highlights heterogeneous effects ownership types Low‐CE High‐CE performers, emphasizing importance contextual institutional factors adoption. These robust findings, validated through extensive endogeneity sensitivity tests, offer actionable insights for policymakers, leaders, practitioners, stressing need innovative reforms, strategic mechanisms, technology‐driven solutions accelerate global sustainable model.

ABSTRACT This study contributes to the literature on sustainability, innovation, and corporate governance by advancing understanding of circular economy (CE) through an analysis firm‐level sustainability targets, board dynamics, stakeholder pressure, digital transformation within firms in MENA region. Drawing resource‐based, stakeholder, innovation theories, we developed models linking targets dynamics CE performance, with pressure as a mediator moderator. We tested these hypotheses using data from 647 publicly listed manufacturing companies region, spanning 2010–2022. By employing robust econometric techniques, found strong evidence that embedding incentives executive compensation implementing structured initiatives significantly enhance performance. Additionally, effective boardroom characteristics positively influence adoption, while mediates relationship between Similarly, reinforces governance, strengthening role driving adoption. Finally, our findings highlight regional performance‐based differences how implement outcomes. The results remain consistent after multiple robustness tests, including rolling window analysis, sensitivity endogeneity tests. emphasize need for incentive‐driven policies integrate principles into promote sustainability‐linked compensation, diversity, support initiatives. Policymakers should also standardize reporting frameworks align global commitments, ensuring transparency, accountability, long‐term
