Abstract:

Corporate environmental sustainability has become a critical concern, particularly in resource-intensive industries such as pharmaceuticals, where regulatory pressures and stakeholder expectations continue to rise. Despite increasing attention to green leadership, limited research has explored how environmentally responsible leadership (ERL) influences corporate environmental performance (CEP) through employee-driven sustainability behaviors. This study addresses this gap by examining... More

Abstract:

Beach groynes are structures for erosion protection along sandy coasts near inlets and  can reduce the  coastal erosion substantially, but open groynes cannot stop erosion completely because sand can be removed from the groyne compartments by cross-shore processes. Beach groynes should be designed with sufficient bypassing of sand to minimise  erosion. Regular beach maintenance is... More
