Coping with Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Insights from Digital Business Services
Energies. 2022. Vol. 15. No. 8. Article 2745.
Digital Business Services (DBS), industries that have grown rapidly in recent years, played
important roles in facilitating the adoption of digital technologies, as well as having applications in
innovative products, transforming business processes across the economy. If DBS firms are committed
to reducing negative environmental impacts, they should be able to make more positive contributions
to their clients’ performance; for instance, promoting the digitalization of businesses process in
ways that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and inefficient energy usage. But what are DBS
business practices, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and related topics? This study examines the
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosures of leading companies providing consultancy,
advertising/marketing, and information technology services. The plans, targets, and actions of DBS
companies with above-average ESG scores, as indexed by the Refinitiv dataset, are examined. The
results indicate that all of these firms express goals, and almost all of them have set clear targets, in
terms of moving to net zero. A wide range of relevant activities is being implemented, including
services that promote energy efficiency. The diversity of these actions suggests that these firms can
learn from each other, and that companies with lower ESG ratings have models to emulate.

Innovation has been discussed in political, academic, management and public debates for many years. It’s usually understood as a driver of change and economic development in different contexts depending on the nature of the debate. What is often neglected is society and people’s perceptions. In each debate, a handful of representatives of social groups claim ...

To create a quantitative model of the energy supply of a «hydrogen city», the city of Innopolis, located in the Republic of Tatarstan, was chosen as the base. This young settlement can rightfully be considered a unique experimental platform for testing low-carbon solutions due to a combination of three factors. Factor one: the construction was ...

This paper studies how an informed Sender communicates with an uninformed Receiver by visibly burning money. The Sender prefers higher Receiver actions, while the Receiver wants to match the true state. I characterize the full set of equilibrium payoff pairs and show that its Pareto frontier is generated by lower-censorship equilibria. In these equilibria, the ...

Banks are currently interested in improving the quality of their own processes and decision-making models. Improving processes involves automating them, i.e., replacing manual labor with automated mechanisms that improve service quality and reduce banking costs. Improving models involves increasing their accuracy and stability through the use of additional information. One possible method for this optimization ...

This study compares two estimation approaches for the stochastic volatility (SV) model,
namely quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). A simulation exercise shows that MCMC delivers markedly more accurate parameter estimates than
QML. However, QML remains substantially faster and far less computationally demanding,
which makes it attractive in large-scale empirical applications. To the best of ...
