The Corporate Governance of Environmental Sustainability: A Review and Proposal for More Integrated Research Aguilera, Ruth V. Aragón Correa, Juan Alberto Marano, Valentina Tashman, Peter A. Corporate governance Environmental sustainability Ownership Board of directors CEO Top management team Employees We are grateful for the partial funding from the research grants ECO2016-75909-P (Spanish Ministry of Science & Education) and PID2019-106725GB-I00 (Spanish Research Agency, 10.13039/501100011033). Peter A. Tashman would like to acknowledge generous support from the Donahue Center for Business Ethics and Social Responsibility at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. As corporations’ environmental impact comes under greater scrutiny by global financial, regulatory, and societal stakeholders, management scholars have increasingly focused on the role of corporate governance as a tool for driving environmental initiatives. Still, we lack a comprehensive and systematic understanding of this emergent body of inquiry and a holistic agenda for future research. To address this gap, our integrative framework relates the key corporate governance actors to environmental sustainability outcomes from the extant literature and highlights its main methodological approaches and theoretical arguments. Our framework provides a critical analysis of what we know and points to the knowledge gaps around owners, boards of directors, CEOs, top management teams, and employees as corporate governance actors. We then highlight limitations in the existing literature as significant opportunities for further research to resolve its ambiguous conceptualizations of environmental sustainability constructs, various methodological and theoretical challenges, incomplete engagement with the global dimension of environmental sustainability, and limited analysis of how corporate governance actors may interact to shape environmental sustainability outcomes. We conclude by proposing novel approaches for addressing these issues, which we believe could generate a better way forward on studying the corporate governance of environmental sustainability. 2024-03-13T13:06:53Z 2024-03-13T13:06:53Z 2021-02 journal article Aguilera et al.
