This study\u00a0analyzes the effect of negative environmental media coverage on procurement decisions using\u00a0data from 495 major Chinese newspapers from 2001 to 2021. We observe significant reductions\u00a0in purchases from suppliers negatively portrayed, especially after the 2015 Paris Agreement\u00a0and from state-owned media. Coverage from state outlets also leads to more regulatory actions,\u00a0indicating a regulatory risk channel affecting supply chain strategies. Our analysis shows that\u00a0the impact of media is stronger with high-circulation outlets, severe reports, minimal bias,\u00a0robust governance, and lower switching costs. This study underscores the role of media,\u00a0particularly state-owned, in driving corporate accountability in ESG practices within supply\u00a0chains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Media as a Reinforcer of ESG Regulatory Risk: Evidence from Supply Chains Date: 13 November 2024 Time: 11:30 \u2013 12:30 Venue: FDC.1.18 If you&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2024\/11\/11\/finance-research-seminar-professor-gonul-colak\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[118,6],"tags":[47,210],"class_list":["post-16958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-research","tag-finance","tag-research-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16958"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16958\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16969,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16958\/revisions\/16969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
