CEOs and Directors’ Perspective Towards Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change
| Resumo: | This thesis applied sentiment analysis, regressions, and topic modeling to understand the perspectives of CEOs and Directors on environmental sustainability and climate change using a data set from the LinkedIn of the World Economic Forum. With Natural Language Processing, comments were analyzed to uncover sentiments, topics, and personas. Sentiment analysis identified a largely positive attitude towards this theme, with the variables Years of Experience and Asia being robustly significant, negatively, and positively associated with the sentiment, respectively. Also, there is some significance in the gender female and with the engagement on LinkedIn groups. Topic modeling, employing the Latent Dirichlet Allocation, uncovered four main topics: the urgency and need for change, the role and influence of individuals and societies in starting global changes, the focus on practical solutions for environmental problems, and the positive sentiments towards sustainable practices. These insights help understand environmental priorities concerning leaders, highlighting the role of corporate leadership in driving sustainability initiatives. These findings offer a comprehensive analysis of the perspectives of decision makers, supporting the strategy of effective engagement plans and policies for these influential stakeholders. |
