Renewable Energy Transition
The renewable energy transition of oil- and gas-producing countries has specific peculiarities due to the ambivalent position of these countries in the global energy market, both as producers and consumers of energy resources. This task becomes even more challenging when the share of oil and gas in the country’s GDP is very high. These circumstances pose serious challenges for long-term energy policy development and require compromising decisions to better align the existing and newly created energy policies of the country. The scale, scope, and pace of changes in the transition process must be well balanced, considering the increasing pressure of economic and environmental factors.

Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Financial Performance
In the post-epidemic era, more and more enterprises have realized the crucial significance of corporate social responsibility for enterprise development. It was found that (1) companies with good corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance show a high level of financial performance (FP); (2) the higher the media’s attention on the company, the better the CSR performance; and (3) based on the nature of the emotion, the researchers divided media attention into positive and negative reports. Positive reports weaken the positive impact of CSR on financial performance, while negative reports reinforce this positive effect. These empirical findings remain robust after controlling for endogeneity and employing alternative variable measures.
