英文摘要: Nexus thinking represents a novel approach to managing sustainability challenges, but little is known about how and to what extent it is being employed by companies. By examining documents from 14 companies identified as “comprehensive-disclosers,” this paper reveals important insights into corporate responses to multiple, interconnected sustainability issues or “nexus challenges”. Using qualitative content analysis of companies’ responses to the CDP (formerly, Carbon Disclosure Project) climate change, water, forests and supply chain surveys as well as their sustainability reports, we find that while companies largely continue with silo-based approaches to addressing sustainable development challenges, some are beginning to employ more integrated approaches suggestive of embryonic “nexus thinking.” Our research provides the first empirical evidence of its kind and contributes to broader debates on the utility of the nexus concept in corporate environmental governance and policymaking. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Citation statistics:
