John Elkington, Cannibals With Forks: The Triple Bottom Line of 21st Century Business
... The term 'circular economy' emerged in the 1988 publication 'The Economics of Natural Resources' by Kneese [38]. These same principles are also expressed in a slightly different form and context as the 'Triple Bottom Line' of Planet (environment), Profit (economic) and People (social), or the 3Ps, as put forward by Elkington in 1994 [40,41] and set out in Fig. 6. From this viewpoint, the significance of a holistic approach that considers environmental issues in addition to economic growth was stressed. ...
... [39]. Thus, the CE begins to be seen as a potential solution for long-term sustainable economic growth [41], according to the United Nations Environment Programme. ...
... This concept was emphasised by Ghisellini [26] who assumed the CE a solid basis for considerably changing the present business model by focusing on regenerative eco-industrial growth, as well as enhancing well-being by restored environmental integrity. These same principles are again expressed in a slightly different form and context by Elkington in the Triple Bottom Line concept [40,41]. In this latter case, the significance of a holistic approach that considers environmental issues in addition to economic growth was stressed. ...
The paper aims to enable a comprehensive definition for a Circular Economy (CE) that will support its effective introduction in the building and construction sectors. According to the European Commission (EC), the building sector in 2020 accounted for 40% of the primary energy demand in the European Union (EU) and 37% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the sector can play a crucial role in decarbonisation and hence in achieving a zero-emissions future in response to climate change. A CE aims to harmonise economic growth with environmental protection and is based on the concept of closing the loop with minimal practical waste as in a natural ecosystem. The adoption of CE concepts is therefore seen as a feasible response to climate change through the deployment of more sustainable construction processes that significantly reduce the need for natural resources by maximising recycling and reuse. However, and despite the recognition of the potential of a CE in relation to sustainability issues, the adoption of a CE model within building and construction sectors is challenging because of the wide range of aspects and priorities which are reflected in the diversity of definition resulting in a narrow and limited adoption. There are currently many definitions of CEs as related to building and construction in the literature, creating confusion and preventing effective implementation.
The study presented here intends, using a comprehensive literature review as its basis, to define the key domains of a CE on which to align a concise and accurate definition that will enable effective application in the building and construction sectors. The research also aims to identify current research gaps and barriers to contribute to the future of CE research in the building sector and thus drive the implementation of CE projects to mitigate the effects of climate change and support the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by laying the foundations for a novel and forward-looking approach to circularity based on properly established, defined and understood principles of CEs.
... It is necessary to start with humanity and this is where tourism companies become the center of attention, as they generate transformations from the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), developed by the United Nations, playing a fundamental role in achieving the related sustainability goals to economic growth, responsible consumption, using these goals as a tool for the development of the companies themselves (Sanchez-Planelles, Segarra-Oña, & Peiro-Signes, 2020). The literature review brings reading contributions on tourism corporate sustainability and consistently asserts that companies need to change their corporate culture to enable an integrated approach to environmental, social, and economic issues, a holistic approach that creates value (Woodcraft, 2015;Jeurissen, 2000). ...
... This research aims to help fill the knowledge gaps mentioned, exposing hypotheses, and examining whether there is a correlation between sustainability and tourism business dynamics for the success of a company. Based on contributions on corporate sustainability (Sanchez-Planelles et al., 2020; Eizenberg & Jabareen, 2017; Jeurissen, 2000), as well as literature on social responsibility (Firmansyah & Estutik, 2020;Chiesa & Przychodzen, 2020;Carasa, 2014), it is possible to identify relevant dimensions of the business ecosystem and a set of hypotheses was developed about the initiatives implemented within the sustainability and business dynamics aimed at the company's success. These hypotheses were tested on data collected for this study. ...
... It is possible to define it as the ability of human beings to interact with the world, preserving the environment so as not to compromise the natural resources of future generations. But, the secret is a holistic approach to the triple bottom line of sustainability, integrating it into the companies' mindset and creating shared value (Jeurissen, 2000). ...
How to cite this paper: Silvestre Graça, A. M. (2022). Management of tourism sustainability in Portuguese companies. The growing concern with sustainability and available resources leads tourism companies to give importance to the management of this area. For a perfect vision, the pillars of sustainability need to be in harmony, but research is scarce. This study is the result of an exploratory investigation, which starts from a broad literature review about corporate sustainability, management, and tourism. The objective of the investigation is to contribute to filling gaps in knowledge about the sustainability of tourism businesses and their implementation, exposing hypotheses that will answer the initial question about the existence of a relationship between sustainability and business dynamics. Based on the literature review, reflections arise about the theme that raises fundamental questions and their analysis led to the application of the quantitative method through an online survey having obtained a collection of 412 responses from entrepreneurs linked to sustainability in tourism, entrepreneurs, and company managers in Portugal allowing to obtain comparable data, universal, and subject to quantitative analysis, associated with an intentional sampling method. Empirical results demonstrate the urgency of change, awareness of sustainability in companies, and the intention to generate success, investing in a better world. The article contributes to the understanding of how to manage companies with a holistic view, having the pillars of sustainability in harmony, leading to financial success. The recommendations are based on the results obtained so that management is proactive, leading to a change in corporate governance, and the concern with the search for new approaches paves the way for new research.
... Corporate reputation, shaped by stakeholders' perceptions of product quality, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility, also plays a vital role in attracting customers and partners [32]. Furthermore, environmental performance, such as reducing carbon emissions and utilizing resources sustainably, has become a key metric amid global pressures for sustainable development [33]. On the basis of the aforementioned theoretical foundations, this research develops a theoretical model to comprehensively analyze the nexus between digital transformation, supply chain capabilities, and firm performance. ...
... On the flip side, the direct effect of information exchange (H3a) on firm performance was not significant (Est = 0.051, p = 0.604), which implies that while information exchange is crucial for improving operational transparency, it may not directly translate into enhanced performance outcomes. This aligns with the work of Elkington et al., [33] and Mai Anh et al., [66], who suggested that although information exchange is vital, its impact on performance is often indirect, mediated by more tangible aspects such as coordination and responsiveness. Furthermore, the indirect paths explored in hypotheses H4a and H4b, which test the mediating role of information exchange and coordination, were rejected. ...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how supply chain digital transformation (DT) affects firm performance, specifically with regard to industrial manufacturing companies in developing nations. Design/Methodology/Approach: A mixed research approach was adopted. Qualitative methods helped develop the theoretical model and measurement scales. Quantitative data were collected through surveys distributed to 166 industrial manufacturing companies in Hanoi. The final dataset consisted of 159 valid responses. The assumptions were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0. Findings: The results show that digital transformation enhances information exchange, coordination and responsiveness within supply chain. However, it does not directly improve firm performance. Coordination and responsiveness are two supply chain characteristics that have a good influence on firm performance, while information exchange has a negligible effect. Additionally, coordination plays a mediating role between digital transformation and firm performance, but the mediating role of information exchange is not supported. Research limitations/Implications: The research is geographically limited to Hanoi and may not represent all industrial firms in Vietnam. Future research should expand the dataset across regions and industries. Originality/value: This research fills a gap in the literature on digital supply chain transformation in developing economies. It also provides empirical evidence on how supply chain capabilities mediate the DT-firm performance relationship. Keywords: Digital Transformation, Supply Chain Capability, Firm Performance, Information Exchange, Coordination, Responsiveness
... This framework contests conventional business models by broadening the emphasis beyond financial returns to encompass social equality and environmental sustainability (Norman & Macdonald, 2004). TBL seeks to synchronize business objectives with overarching societal and environmental ideals, advocating for sustainability as a fundamental principle (Jeurissen, 2000). Elkington and Rowlands (1999) In his review of John Elkington and Ian Rowlands's book "Cannibals with Forks: The Triple Bottom Line of 21st Century Business," (Jeurissen, 2000) emphasizes the triple bottom line (TBL) concept as a novel method for incorporating sustainability into company strategy. ...

This study aimed to empirically investigate the factors of social entrepreneurship - namely, social mission, social innovation, and the mediating role of social networks in achieving sustainable business development within developing tourist villages. The research employed a quantitative approach, focusing on 42 tourist villages in Bantul Regency. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that social missions and social networks significantly and positively impact sustainable business development. However, social innovation did not show a significant effect on sustainable business development. Notably, social networks positively and significantly mediated the relationship between social innovation and sustainable business development. This study has several limitations. Firstly, it measured only two factors and one mediator of social entrepreneurship in addressing sustainable business development. Future research could explore other elements of social entrepreneurship, such as risk-taking. Secondly, social networking was used as a mediating variable; future studies could expand on this by incorporating HR practices. The results of this study have implications for social entrepreneurs, emphasizing the creation of relevant social and economic value for individuals and teams by addressing social and environmental needs. This approach is essential for developing creative and innovative solutions that ensure social, economic, and environmental sustainability in both normal and abnormal ecological situations.
... This approach could be especially relevant when an environmental perspective of the Triple Bottom Line is looked for (Jeurissen, 2000). ...
... Two models were tested through the fsQCA method. (Cabral & Gohr, 2023;Jeurissen, 2000;Wiebe et al., 2023). Some authors postulate that implementing CSR practices can lead to CE by improving efficiency of operations and causing a better competitive position (García et al., 2013;Camilleri, 2022;Yu et al., 2017), which is implicit in the acceptation of H1, which considers economic initiatives. ...
Seeking sustainable development, companies voluntarily implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach, considering economic, social and environmental aspects of interest to global society. Searching for sustainable development, the Circular Economy (CE) emerged as a new philosophy of life to meet the new challenges in society. This research links CSR and CE but considering jointly the Institutional and Stakeholder Theories to delimit the sustainable development framework from the EC approach driven by CSR. According to this framework, it was tested whether the CSR practices of companies positively and significantly impacts on a business orientation towards CE, through two models (Model A and Model B) each of them analyzed with two independent samples of companies in Spain. Both samples are composed of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) at two different stages of CSR adoption. The hypotheses were analyzed through a structural equation modeling‐fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (SEM‐fsQCA). The result of the SEM supports the hypothesis in both models. So, CSR practices are driving companies towards CE, incorporating propositions on stakeholders' value creation. Moreover, an fsQCA revealed combinations of relationships that ensure the consistency of obtained results, generating five configurations based on two models defined. Main contribution of this work is CSR practices of companies and their orientation towards CE can be linked. This encourages to deep in analysis about the relations between CE and CSR, and of the specific CSR practices that should be enhanced for their beneficial effect on the implementation of CE.
... To measure social sustainability in healthcare, metrics include patient satisfaction scores, discrepancies in health outcomes across population segments, and employee engagement levels. Environmental metrics might focus primarily on metrics that measure carbon footprint, reduction of waste and recycling, and energy efficiency [24]. ...
... There may be ignorance of TBL and, thus, a lack of willingness to act or a misunderstanding of the reasonability of TBL on behalf of healthcare professionals. The lack of awareness might be due to the intricacy of the formulation of TBL concepts, which demand a certain level of expertise by healthcare professionals that might only exist in some healthcare organizations [24]. ...
A triple bottom line (TBL) encompasses economic, social, and environmental dimensions, which provides a strategy for transforming contemporary healthcare systems. This study contextualized current TBL developments in healthcare under the spotlight of COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges and opportunities. The paper has five sections, including an introductory section that outlines the TBL concept and its relevance to healthcare. Following this, we provide an overview of the three pillars of the TBL, including its economic, social, and environmental dimensions as they relate to healthcare. This section also includes several case studies to illustrate TBL-based practices in diverse healthcare settings, focusing on how these were implemented and the outcomes and barriers to adopting such practices. In addition to showcasing current TBL practices, we review three significant challenges to TBL and highlight potential areas for future research, such as innovative practices, educational reform, and the need for the development of robust TBL metrics. The overarching conclusion is that the TBL provides a profound approach to conceptualizing contemporary healthcare to meet the urgent requirements for a more resilient, equitable, and environmentally responsible healthcare system.
... As presented in Figure 1, the first keyword search on online databases (EBSCO, ProQuest, Jstor, Science direct, Google Scholar and Scopus) generated 112 academic articles on demarketing published between 2000(Till February 2022. To this the journal qualifying criterion was applied, which resulted in the omission of 34 scholarly articles, thereby reducing the number of articles to 78. ...
... The Triple Bottom Line is a sustainability framework that incorporates three dimensions of business performance-social, ecological and financial. Thus, the triple bottom line has become one of the main guidelines for 21st century businesses trying to address the challenges associated with sustainability (Jeurissen, 2000). Hence, our literature review has followed 'Triple Bottom Line' (Elkington, 1997) framework to thematically contain the literature on demarketing, thereby justifying its appropriateness in addressing sustainability challenges. ...
In the context of emerging sustainability challenges, demarketing has continued to draw the attention of academicians and practitioners globally over the past few years. It is interesting to note that demarketing is as old as marketing itself, yet its application and scope have grown from the past two decades only. Kotler and Levy, (1971) has defined demarketing as “that aspect of marketing which deals with discouraging customers in general or a certain class of customers in particular on a temporary or permanent basis”. This systematic literature review attempts to enrich the discussion on demarketing research through a systematic and comprehensive review of 64 articles published between 2000 and 2022. Using TCCM framework, we present relevant theories, research contexts, study characteristics, and methodologies used in demarketing research. Our review (1) Presents a systematic and comprehensive overview of the research in demarketing over the last two decades (2) Examines studies in demarketing within the framework of ‘triple bottom line’ approach for sustainability (3) Suggests a suitable definition of demarketing considering its exorbitant application within the sustainability context (4) Identify gaps and sets agenda for future research. Our systematic literature review found that research in demarketing has been growing considerably over the past two decades, twice as much in the last decade compared to the previous decade with spill‐over to new sectors. The literature review, through the lens of ‘triple bottom line’ approach, is able to establish that demarketing can be employed to effectively address the sustainability challenges encountered by policymakers and practitioners.
... Manajemen wisata halal yang berkelanjutan (sustainable halal tourism management) mengintegrasikan prinsip-prinsip keberlanjutan ke dalam seluruh aspek pengembangan pariwisata, mulai dari perencanaan, implementasi, hingga evaluasi (Swarbrooke, 1999). Pendekatan ini tidak hanya berfokus pada pemenuhan kebutuhan wisatawan Muslim, tetapi juga memperhatikan dampak jangka panjang terhadap lingkungan, masyarakat lokal, dan ekonomi (Jeurissen, 2000). ...
Halal tourism has emerged as a rapidly growing market segment within the global tourism industry. However, its development often focuses primarily on fulfilling the basic needs of Muslim travelers, without sufficiently addressing broader sustainability considerations. This article aims to analyze both conceptual and practical literature related to the sustainable management of halal tourism, identify research gaps, and propose a comprehensive management model. Through a systematic review of relevant scholarly articles, key dimensions of sustainability—economic, social, environmental, and spiritual—are identified as essential components to be integrated into halal tourism development. The proposed model emphasizes the importance of stakeholder collaboration, the application of technology, and the preservation of Islamic values in creating authentic and responsible tourism experiences. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of how halal tourism can be managed sustainably to generate long-term benefits for communities, the environment, and the tourism industry.
... Sustainable development (SD) is frequently characterized by Elkington's triple bottom line, which emphasizes the integration of the three essential dimensions: economics, environment, and society (Jeurissen, 2000). SD must be economically feasible, ecologically sound, and socially acceptable (Yang & Shahbaz, 2024). ...
The objectives of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) underscore the significance of leveraging innovation and technology to tackle urgent global issues, including poverty, inequality, climate change, and sustainable economy. Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) exhibits notable GDP and digital economy advancements, although they also face considerable pollution. However, relatively few research has investigated ASEAN's sustainability. This paper is to examine the effects of digital technology (DT) and digital service trade (DST) on ASEAN's sustainable development, considering the moderating role of institutional quality (IQ). This study employs panel data from 10 ASEAN countries spanning 2005-2019 and utilizes feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) analysis and Panel generalized estimating equations (PGEE) analysis to evaluate the moderating influence of institutional quality on digital technology and digital service trade in influencing ASEAN's sustainable development. This study used population size and industrial value added as control variables. Empirical data showed the essential role of institutional quality in affecting sustainability. The findings demonstrate that digitalization alone is insufficient to achieve sustainability. Digital service trade can jeopardize sustainability unless it is tempered by strong intelligence, which reduces risks associated with cross-border data flows and digital inequality. The study indicates that institutional development is required before utilizing digital technologies and digital service trade for environmental and social advancement. Institutional quality and focused policy alignment are critical for transforming digital innovation and trade into equitable and long-term growth throughout ASEAN.

... In this context, learning how to adapt to the changes brought by the low-carbon transition and how to promote manufacturing enterprises to improve sustainable development performance have become urgent needs for the development of manufacturing enterprises [2]. ESG performance, also known as the "triple bottom line" of the performance of an enterprise [3,4], represents a crucial criterion for measuring a company's level of green and sustainable development [5]. ESG is becoming more and more popular since the introduction of the "dual carbon" target. ...
In the context of low-carbon transformation, manufacturing enterprises are facing great pressures, and they need to improve their capability in order to successfully respond to these changes and achieve sustainable development. Based on the concept of organizational resilience, this paper proposed the concept of carbon resilience, representing the ability of an organization to keep stable, adapt, and evolve in the context of low-carbon transformation and tried to explore the role of carbon resilience in enterprises’ environment, social, and governance performance (ESG performance) and the conditional roles of coercive pressure, normative pressure, and the mimetic pressure between companies. Empirical research selected the data of Chinese A-share-listed manufacturing companies between 2012 and 2021 as research samples. Using the regression analysis method, the theoretical model was verified. The results show that carbon resilience can promote ESG performance. Moreover, coercive pressure and normative pressure promote the relationship between carbon resilience and ESG performance, whereas mimetic pressure inhibits the relationship. This study provides managerial implications for the government, society, and manufacturing enterprises, especially laying out a realistic approach to improving ESG performance from the perspective of carbon resilience.
... To holistically assess these processes' sustainability, a life cycle perspective is essential [239], evaluating not only process impacts but also the energy and materials efficiency benefits MAF-based finishing methods contribute over a product's full lifecycle. A triple-bottom-line approach, considering economic, environmental, and social impacts [240], remains crucial for advancing the environmental sustainability of MAF and its hybrid processes within contemporary manufacturing frameworks. ...
... Although businesses aim to make the best of their CSR plans, lack of knowledge of CSR programs makes it hard to do so [111]. As businesses report their CSR plan, they act as a vehicle for public relations and create a strong corporate identity [112]. Moreover, since public disclosure of the negative social behavior of a corporation harms corporate image, a way to fix the issue is to illustrate the constructive social actions of the company [47]. ...
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in management domains is a well-known concept that links corporate interests and environmental/community values. CSR is considered a strategic policy that offers environmental and social competitive advantages. Organizations consider that CSR-based goodwill provides a tactical competitive edge and sustainable growth. The goal of this paper is to show how CSR programs affect consumers’ purchasing intention in the context of Pakistan. In addition, the effect of customer awareness has been studied as a moderator between CSR and purchasing intention. To this end, the study has conducted a survey and gathered Pakistani customers’ responses, and structural equation modeling has been used to evaluate the results. The study concludes that CSR activities favorably affect customer purchasing intentions directly as well as indirectly through improving brand image and trust, and customer awareness of CSR activities plays a moderating role. The implications and future research directions are discussed.
... Sustainability emphasizes the equitable distribution and utilization of resources, but operationalizing fairness across generations remains challenging. In 1995, John Elkington introduced the concept of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) in his book *Cannibals with Forks: The Triple Bottom Line of 21st Century Business* (Jeurissen, 2000). Elkington's framework expanded beyond traditional financial metrics such as profit, return on investment (ROI), and shareholder value by incorporating broader environmental and social dimensions (Mark-Herbert et al., 2010). ...
This study explores the intersection of entrepreneurship and sustainability, focusing on how businesses can integrate environmental, social, and cultural considerations into their operations to drive sustainable development. By examining the role of sustainable entrepreneurship, the research highlights the transformative potential of integrating the triple bottom- line framework, which encompasses economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, and social equity. The study utilises qualitative methods, including case studies and theoretical analysis, to investigate how entrepreneurial ventures can achieve competitive advantages through sustainable practices. Key findings reveal that businesses with high entrepreneurial orientation marked by innovation, risk-taking, and proactiveness are more likely to implement sustainable strategies contributing to long- term economic growth and societal well-being. The research underscores the importance of a holistic approach that balances economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions, emphasising the need for businesses to align their strategies with sustainable development goals to ensure resilience and relevance in a rapidly changing global landscape.
... According to Elkington (1998) in his book entitled Cannibals with Forks: The Triple Bottom Line of 21st Century Business (Elkington & Rowlands, 1999), Business sustainability needs to consider three main dimensions, namely profit (economic sustainability), people (social sustainability), and planet (environmental sustainability) (Jeurissen, 2000), therefore, the author interprets that business sustainability refers to the ability of a business to continue to survive and develop in the long term by considering economic, environmental, and social aspects. The sustainability of MSMEs is also related to the capacity to innovate (Endris & Kassegn, 2022). ...
The sustainability of Bandung City MSMEs businesses is an important factor in reducing the problem of unemployment levels and improving the economy of Bandung City. Rumah BUMN Bandung is one of the government's efforts to support the sustainability of Bandung City MSMEs businesses. This research aims to find out how much influence entrepreneurship training has on the business sustainability of MSMEs fostered by Rumah BUMN Bandung. This research focuses on 96 MSMEs fostered by Rumah BUMN Bandung who have actively participated in training, programs or events at Rumah BUMN Bandung at least 3 times. This study using survey method with a descriptive and verification quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through distributing questionnaires and literature studies. The data analysis technique for this research uses simple linear regression analysis. In Addition, t-test and coefficient of determination were used to test the influence of entrepreneurship training on business sustainability. This research shows that Entrepreneurship Training can influence around 79.3% of the sustainability of UMKN businesses guided by Rumah BUMN Bandung, while 20.7% of the sustainability of UMKM businesses fostered by Rumah BUMN Bandung can be influenced by other factors such as managerial, innovative aspects and external support.
... It follows that the literature about the adoption of GTs is not fully covered by the prior studies. According to Jeurissen (2000), the sustainable integration of the economic, environmental, and social components present in manufacturing enterprises is known as the "triple bottom line" in the context of GTs. It is insufficient to concentrate solely on the environmental element of GTs to reap the most benefits. ...
... Tree fundamental aspects should generally be considered in sustainable decisions: economy, environment, and community. Tat is to say that a sustainable company is one capable of doing business with the purposes of community, environmental, and economic well-being in its operations [14]. Growing environmental concerns and their consequent pressures lead to the development and implementation of sustainable approaches during corporate decision-making. ...
The growth of world population has fueled environmental, legal, and social concerns, making governments and companies attempt to mitigate the environmental and social implications stemming from supply chain operations. The state-run Environmental Protection Agency has initially offered financial incentives (subsidies) meant to encourage supply chain managers to use cleaner technologies in order to minimize pollution. In today’s competitive markets, using green technologies remains vital. In the present project, we have examined a class of closed-loop supply chain competitive facility location-routing problems. According to the framework of the competition, one of the players, called the Leader, opens its facilities first. The second player, called the Follower, makes its decision when Leader’s location is known. Afterwards, each customer chooses an open facility based on some preference huff rules before returning the benefits to one of the two companies. The follower, under the influence of the leader’s decisions, performs the best reaction in order to obtain the maximum capture of the market. So, a bilevel mixed-integer linear programming model is formulated. The objective function at both levels includes market capture profit, fixed and operating costs, and financial incentives. A metaheuristic quantum binary particle swarm optimization (PSO) is developed via Benders decomposition algorithm to solve the proposed model. To evaluate the convergence rate and solution quality, the method is applied to some random test instances generated in the literature. The computational results indicate that the proposed method is capable of efficiently solving the model.
... Several scientists have delved into this subject, de ning the concept as "investments that allow investors to align their nancial objectives with their social values in the realms of social justice, economic development, peace, and environmental concerns" (Munoz-Torres et al., 2004). Business can be deemed sustainable when it ful lls the criteria of economic prosperity, social justice, and environmental quality (Jeurissen R., 2000). In essence, one can summarize that Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) investors blend the elements of monetary gain and ethical considerations, aiming for a collective bene t to society in the long term through their investment choices. ...
Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to exam in the impact of pro social behaviour on Indian investor intentional to participate it socially responsible investment taking attitude as mediated with special reference to all Indian states.
Design/methodology/approach: For achieving the objective of this study, the model was tested through PLS SEM software. Research Scales from the literature were used in modified version according to the suitability. Data were collected from 216 respondents.
Findings :The findings suggest that the factors of Perceived Consumer Effectiveness, Perceived Behavioral Control, and Perceived Financial Performance directly influence individuals' attitudes. These attitudes, in turn, have a significant impact on investors' intentions to engage in Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). Additionally, the study adopted the Theory of Planned Behavior framework to gain insights into SRI intentions with a focus on prosocial motivations. Therefore, the employed model for elucidating these variables yielded positive and promising results.
Originality/value:The literature supports that attitude plays a mediating role in forming intentions for green purchase behaviour only a few have examined the role of prosocial behaviour as a driver for SRI adoption intention. The current study aims to link prosocial behaviours of investors to the Theory of Planned Behaviour, a less explored approach in previous research.
... It encompasses the balanced integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations. The triple bottom line (TBL), an influential concept introduced in 1997, evaluates the performance of organisations based on these three pillars [4], providing a holistic perspective that transcends singular metrics. Therefore, sustainable manufacturing has grown into a prominent topic of discussion between business stakeholders around the world. ...
Foundation industries, encompassing metals, ceramics, cement, paper, chemicals, and glass, play a vital role in driving industrial economies. Despite their pivotal role, a comprehensive understanding of shared processes and their impact on resource utilisation remains elusive. This study employs a novel approach, leveraging an adapted Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM), to unveil the core processes commonly utilised among these industries. These processes are then evaluated based on their influence on energy consumption and CO2 emission. The investigation revealed 18 common processes categorised by their processing principles, their expected outcomes, and the equipment used. Remarkably, these processes emerge as significant contributors to both energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Notably, pyroprocessing emerged as a prevalent practice in five out of the six sectors, while the production of dried products and crushers and mills were the most frequently encountered outcomes and equipment used, respectively. This paper discusses the implications of these findings for foundation industries, emphasising potential areas for enhancing manufacturing operations to reduce environmental damage and facilitate knowledge transfer among the various sectors. Furthermore, the study identifies shared abatement options that can be collectively implemented across industries to achieve more substantial reductions in environmental footprint. By identifying and prioritising the most impactful processes in foundation industries, this study provides a strategic footing for advancing sustainable and efficient manufacturing practices within these critical sectors.
... The initial discussion on sustainability revolved around the utilization of critical thinking, with a focal point on maintaining a dynamic balance among the social, economic, and environmental dimensions to construct a more promising future [36][37][38][39]. ...
The pursuit of a sustainable future necessitates the integration of critical thinking into environmental education, as it plays a crucial role in equipping individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to address complex environmental challenges. This article aims to examine the significance of critical thinking in the educational framework for cultivating ecological culture. By exploring the relationship between critical thinking skills and sustainable practices, the study analyzes how critical thinking abilities can contribute to creating a solid foundation for a sustainable future. This article presents the findings of a sociological survey conducted between March and June 2023, focusing on assessing the development of environmental culture competencies among residents of Yekaterinburg City (N = 250). The survey utilized a Google Form as the data collection tool. Statistical analysis was performed using the Vortex program version 10.0. The study findings indicate a significant level of ownership and shared responsibility among residents, suggesting their active engagement as catalysts for positive change in fostering a sustainable and equitable society. The findings of the study revealed that the city’s ecological situation is considered one of the most urgent issues by the citizens of Yekaterinburg. The article proposes a model of ecological culture in academic disciplines and presents a structured approach to raising environmental awareness in conjunction with the integration of critical thinking into academic disciplines.
... The term is also a natural topic of study for economics as it incorporates management of resources where economics addresses the scarcity of resources by its theory. In general meaning, sustainability is referred to as the interrelationships between the environment, economy, and society (Hutchins & Sutherland, 2008;Jeurissen, 2000). In other arguments, sustainability means having a real commitment to green practices and developing a new innovative business model (Smith & Sharicz, 2011). ...
Social entrepreneurship has been an emerging topic of discussion and a topic of research in the last couple of decades yet there are confusion over the social enterprise, non-profit entity, and business entity with corporate social responsibility. With a serious threat to global economic recession, loss of jobs, loss of clean environment and balanced eco-system, we have witnessed a serious threat rising ever than before. With the struggle we have in front of us to deal with, there is also another rising emerging hope in the business world.
This chapter proposes a clear concept and view on social entrepreneurship with a highlight on its elements that makes social enterprise not only unique but because of the social purpose, values, and mission it serves, it aims in achieving sustainability. The chapter presents various points that social enterprise is the way forward for sustainability in the future and therefore has to be promoted. It provides a basis for why social enterprises are different from other business entities, and how general business entities also can serve the purpose and incorporate the model to become a social enterprise in the long run to achieve sustainability.
... Sustainable development (SD) is gaining traction in a variety of societal contexts. Organizations strive to implement sustainable practices in their processes and product design in order to increase competitiveness (Padilla-Lozano and Collazzo, 2022), which is now judged not only by financial performance and market share, but also by how stakeholders are managed and natural resources are used rationally (Greenland et al., 2022;Jeurissen, 2000). ...
Research on sustainability in project management has been prolific in fields of knowledge such as business, environmental sciences and engineering. There are attempts in the literature to consolidate this knowledge, but there are no comprehensive studies using integrative approaches that combine bibliometric softwares and systematic content analysis. The objective of this study is twofold: (i) to identify and discuss the evolution of themes that relate sustainability and project management; (ii) propose a research agenda to advance knowledge in this interconnected area. The Science Mapping Analysis Software Tool (SciMAT) was used to analyze a sample of 851 articles defined through the PRISMA protocol. The study covered three time periods: 2007 to 2011, 2012 to 2016 and 2017 to May/2023. For each period, a longitudinal maps, strategic diagrams and cluster networks generated by SciMAT were analyzed with the support of content analysis. Sustainable construction project management it is an important topic throughout the development of the area, with great influence in all clusters. Cross-cutting themes were identified, which have the potential to become motor themes in the coming years, with an emphasis on competencies needed by managers to lead sustainable projects. The research agenda includes themes related to decision support systems, new sustainability frameworks and paradigms (circular economy, digital transformation and industry 5.0), smart cities and industry 4.0. The findings and discussions of this study can support future researchers as well as managers who wish to incorporate sustainability aspects into projects activities.
... They are formulated as separate and connected entities (Giddings et al., 2002). (Jeurissen, 2000) describes the essence of sustainable development based on a "triple bottom line" that emphasizes economic stability, ecological sustainability, and social equality -an aspect that businesses have a tendency to disregard. Some other scholars have also explained the relationship between the three issues based on the "triple bottom line" model (Fuentes et al., 2019;Holden & Linnerud, 2007;. ...
This study aims to investigate and evaluate the status of sustainable development in the Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang provinces over a decade (2011-2020) using the quantitative analysis approach of the entropy weight TOPSIS method. Based on the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plans, this research analyzes the three provinces' social, economic, and environmental development using data collected from relevant economic and social sectors in China. The findings demonstrate that the sustainable development levels in the respective regions of these three provinces have improved, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the study period. Drawing upon the 14th Five-Year Plan promulgated in 2021, the report provides recommendations for future social, economic, and environmental development in the examined region. The study's results have implications for similar regions seeking to achieve sustainable development goals.
... New venture sustainability plays a huge role in the long-term development of new ventures and is an important foundation for social progress and economic stability. There is currently no consensus in academia on the concept of new venture sustainability [36].Ronald et al. [37] argue that new venture sustainability refers to the performance of new ventures in balancing the social, economic and environmental aspects. Salzmann [38] points out that sustainability requires the consideration of many factors, such as environment, society and profit. ...
New ventures often face the challenge of resource scarcity, and how to overcome the resource constraint problem and improve new venture sustainability has been a long-standing concern of scholars and practitioners. Most existing studies have explored the impact on the financial performance of new ventures of a single factor, and few studies have focused on the impact of the configuration effect of multiple factors on new venture sustainability. In this paper, based on the configuration theory and resource orchestration theory, we use fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) with a sample of 189 entrepreneurs to explore the mechanisms driving the configuration effects of multiple factors of entrepreneurial decision-making logic, resource bundling, and environmental uncertainty on new venture sustainability. The empirical results show that the paths to achieve high new venture sustainability are diverse and equivalent, and effectuation is a core antecedent condition in all paths. There are four conditional configurations of the drivers of high sustainability in new ventures, including dual-logic resource integration, market-driven resource integration, means–resource innovation in emerging markets, and resource-rich or resource-creating integration under dual logic.
... The TBL is typically used to assess corporate sustainability; this idea was established by Jeurissen (2000). TBL has three different aspects: economic, social, and environmental. ...
One of the key drivers of the Indonesian economy is small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Especially in overcoming the crisis caused by COVID-19. However, SMEs also need a competitive advantage to be able to compete with larger companies. One of the competitive advantages can be obtained through innovation in eco-design (Vihma & Moora, 2020). This study examines the factors which influence SMEs’ intention to adopt eco-design. The quadruple bottom line (QBL) method forms the foundation for these elements (Simons et al., 2017). It is the evolution of the triple bottom line (TBL) with the additional factor of purpose, besides three existing factors: people, planet, and profit. In addition, using the theoretical framework of planned behavior and social cognitive theory, we also investigate the variables that affect purpose. In this work, structural equation modeling partial least squares is used as a quantitative method. A questionnaire is used to gather the primary data, SMART PLS 3 software is used for data processing, and SME entrepreneurs are selected as respondents. According to the findings, attitude, and self-efficacy significantly influenced purpose. People, planet, and purpose influence SMEs’ intention to adopt eco-design.
... To understand not only the environmental effects, the triple bottom line concept should be introduced. By using triple bottom line approach, the social and financial implications can be assessed beside the environmental effects [20]. ...
Climate change is one of the most actual and important environmental problems of humanity. The effects of changing weather are increasingly perceptible and have significant impact not only on society but also on economy through damages, problems regarding supply systems or even with health issues. The main reason behind climate change is the increased anthropogenic activity and the related emission of greenhouse gases (GHG's). Climate protection develops to the largest project of mankind ever. In order to ensure the success of a project it is essential to use the right indicators. Road transportation is a good example where three different levels of indicators of CO2e emission are commonly used. Tank-to-Wheel (TTW), Well-to-Wheel (WTW) and Lifecycle-Assessment (LCA). The authors of this article made findings about effects beyond the LCA methodology in order to ensure the success of the decarbonisation efforts. The paper investigates the development of CO2-intensity as a measure of the effectivity of decarbonization measures and discusses its applicability as an extended indicator to understand carbon emissions better. This paper has the focus on one critical indicator: the specific CO2 abatement cost, which should be mandatory for the prioritization of the decarbonisation measures. The results of the analysed examples indicate that the "hidden" carbon dioxide content of expenditures should be considered during the evaluation of decarbonization measures. The proposed extended analyzing method of carbon footprint will be part of the new methodology of multilevel sustainability and gives a supplementary evaluation opportunity to understand carbon-emissions better and targeting the full-scale optimum in spite of reaching sub-optimal solutions.

This study aims to examine the effect of biological asset intensity and green accounting on Financial Performance. Quantitative research method with Multiple Linear Regression model is used as an analytical tool. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique as many as 90 years of agricultural companies. The results empirically prove that Biological Asset Intensity has no effect on Financial Performance in agricultural companies, Green Accounting has an influence on financial performance of agricultural companies, there is no relationship between Biological Asset Intensity and Green Accounting, and Biological Asset Intensity and Green Accounting together have an influence on the Financial Performance of agricultural companies listed on the IDX in 2017-2019.
... While economists have been contributing to the discussion of various aspects of sustainability for decades, only recently the term "sustainability economics" was used explicitly in the ecological, environmental, and resource economics community [24]. At a very general level, scholars agree that the central component of sustainability is best described by linking the three dimensions: economy, environment, and society [25][26][27][28]. For years, scientists have been defining the concept of social development with the use of three principles of economic prosperity, environmental integrity, and social equity, and underline that all need to be supported to ensure sustainable economic development [29]. ...
Social enterprises today are a worldwide phenomenon that has had a major impact on local communities and societies. Apart from pursuing their mission within the market, social enterprises are closely linked through scientific theories with the concept of sustainable development. In practice, they are linked with pursuing so-called sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. It is a universal call to action to end poverty. One of the ways of fighting against poverty is providing people excluded from the labor market with decent jobs. It is one of the main aims of many social enterprises. The aim of this paper is to identify internal and external conditions influencing the functioning and development of social enterprises operating in the Warmia and Mazury region, which is underdeveloped according to the EU taxonomy. This paper used survey research conducted among social enterprises in the region of Warmia and Mazury. In the context of sustainable development as a concept, this paper identifies the scale of influence of the analyzed social enterprises on restoring people who are professionally excluded into the labor market. This paper indicates that not only financial and legal issues limit the development of social enterprises, but also elements such as the insufficient number of people willing to do social work or the level of creativity of the employed staff. It has been established that among analyzed enterprises, the level of received support is associated with the number of created workplaces, but it is not connected with gained income, nor is the volume of employment within the analyzed social enterprises correlated with gained income.
... The goals gave rise to the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). John Elkington has a new managerial paradigm in the next century, i.e., the concept of sustainable business (Jeurissen, 2000). A business is said to be sustainable if it can fulfill three aspects of the triple bottom line, which are economic, environmental, and social. ...
Sustainability reports are a medium for companies to expose their seriousness in addressing environmental issues. Companies, especially those listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, are required by OJK through POJK 51 to present a sustainability report. This study analyzed energy sector companies listed on the Stock Exchange as a sample. As a result, there were nine companies included in the analysis. This study implemented content analysis. Eight main keywords will be used to analyze the sustainability report. The research compared the extent of the sustainability report under POJK 51 and the adequacy of its scope based on the GRI series 300. The data was limited to reports from 2020 since the implementation of POJK 51 was started effectively as of January 1, 2020. The results showed that all the analyzed companies had prepared the sustainability report, but the report's contents were not entirely followed POJK 51 and GRI series 300.
... Business is sustainable when it lives up to the "triple bottom line" of economic prosperity, environmental quality and social justice. The three bottom lines are interrelated, interdependent, and partly in conflict" [48] (p. 229). ...
Promoting the concept and principles of sustainable development at the micro level requires that industrial companies understand and improve approaches to managing corporate sustainability. Currently, economics does not provide a universal definition of what corporate sustainability is. With regard to the mining sector, corporate sustainability issues reflecting the viability, value, and sustainable development potential of companies have not yet been studied extensively. The article discusses the conceptual foundations of corporate sustainability; the characteristics and a classification of approaches to defining corporate sustainability; and the relationship between corporate sustainability, sustainable development at the micro level, and circular economy. By analyzing the example of Russia, the influence of the mining industry on the environmental, economic, and social development of both a country with a resource-based economy and individual mining regions is shown from the viewpoint of sustainability. The distinguishing features of mining companies, which include natural capital and mineral assets, are studied in the context of promoting corporate sustainability. It is proven that the effective corporate management of ESG factors results in environmental and social influence that goes in line with sustainable development requirements and serves as a foundation for corporate sustainability. A refined definition of corporate sustainability has been formulated, the specific features of corporate sustainability management in mining companies have been determined, and the specific features of corporate social responsibility have been studied. The issue of integrating circular economy elements into the corporate sustainability concept is discussed, and it is claimed that the inclusion of circular business models in the corporate strategies of mining companies will contribute to their corporate sustainable development and boost their contribution to the achievement of sustainable development goals.
This study examines the implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in the Indonesian sports shoe industry and its impact on the company's competitive advantage. The objectives of the study were to analyze GSCM practices implemented by the Indonesian sports shoe industry, identify factors that influence the success of GSCM implementation, and measure its impact on the company's environmental performance and competitive advantage. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method on 120 APRISINDO member sports shoe companies. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software. The results showed that the implementation of GSCM including green purchasing, eco-design, green manufacturing, and reverse logistics had a significant positive effect on environmental performance (β=0.672, p<0.01) and competitive advantage (β=0.583, p<0.01). The main supporting factors for the success of GSCM were top management commitment, green technology capabilities, and collaboration with suppliers. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions to the development of GSCM in the Indonesian sports shoe industry.
This research deals with the optimization of the machining process using a model based on criterial functional dependence hypothesis. The basis of this hypothesis is the assertion that for each production process of a given product with many input parameters, at given known requirements and conditions, it is possible to determine the minimum/maximum local extremum, that is, to find the most suitable conditions under which the criterion is achieved. To verify the optimization model, three different cutting tools (cutting inserts) were compared within the criteria functions set for cutting force Fc, process power P, and surface roughness characteristics Rz, all with two independent variables—cutting speed vc and feed f. The technology of turning with longitudinal external machining of the cylindrical surface was selected as the operation for the experiment. Taking into account the importance of individual criteria for real practice and the minimum extreme values achieved (a surface roughness Rz = 2.2 μm and cutting power p = 14,700 W at vc = 145 m/min and f = 0.8 mm), the tool with a linear cutting edge (LCE) designed at the authors’ workplace appeared as the most suitable tool for machining operation under the given conditions when compared with commercially produced cutting tools TCMT 16T308-PR 4035 and CNMG 120408-WM 4025.
This study analyzes the influence of internal control systems, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and resource efficiency on sustainability performance in food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2023 period. The research employs a quantitative approach with purposive sampling of 10 companies that consistently publish annual and sustainability reports. Secondary data from financial statements and sustainability reports were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that internal control systems positively impact sustainability performance, demonstrating that risk management and financial transparency enhance corporate sustainability. CSR also has a positive effect, suggesting that corporate social engagement strengthens business reputation. Resource efficiency significantly contributes to sustainability by optimizing energy and raw materials while reducing production waste. These three variables collectively influence corporate sustainability performance. This study recommends that companies strengthen internal control systems, enhance CSR initiatives, and optimize resource utilization to ensure business sustainability and competitiveness in the food and beverage manufacturing industry.
The European City of Science (ECS) is a prestigious designation awarded by EuroScience to a city. The study employed a qualitative methodology, conducting four focus group interviews with 33 residents of Katowice to derive strategic directions for engaging residents in scientific processes and urban development. The findings indicate that residents perceive knowledge positively and stress the importance of its acquisition and expansion through various scientific events, including interactive exhibitions, city games, science centers, and cultural and sports events. The study results showed that most participants were unaware of the ECS Katowice 2024 initiative. Those who were aware had positive associations with the project. The results highlighted the importance of tailored communication strategies to enhance economic literacy and social engagement in science within the urban context. The findings provided valuable insights for city policymakers, aiding them in making informed decisions regarding investments in education, science, and innovation. The study highlights the role of participatory research methods in understanding public attitudes towards science and urban development, contributing to the broader discourse on science communication and public engagement.
This study explores the adoption and effects of innovative materials and advanced technologies on sustainable construction practices in Nigeria. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to collect comprehensive data from 255 construction professionals, achieving an 85% response rate. The findings indicate that recycled materials and green concrete are the most frequently utilized innovative materials, primarily due to their environmental advantages and cost-effectiveness. Building Information Modeling (BIM) and prefabrication emerge as the most widely adopted advanced technologies, enhancing efficiency, reducing waste, and improving project quality. Additionally, regression analysis reveals the complex nature of adopting sustainable construction practices, with cost emerging as a significant barrier for many firms. Despite these positive developments, challenges such as high initial costs, lack of awareness, insufficient regulatory support, and limited availability of sustainable materials impede wider adoption. The study highlights the necessity for targeted interventions, including financial incentives, stronger regulatory frameworks, and comprehensive education and training programs, to foster sustainable construction practices. The findings have substantial implications for policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers, offering a foundation for future research and practical strategies to advance sustainability in Nigeria's construction sector.
The swift emergence of sustainability as a critical corporate requirement has altered the landscape of Human Resource Management (HRM). As firms throughout the world adopt Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, there is a growing need to align Sustainable Human Resource Management (Sustainable HRM) with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter underscores the transformative potential of integrating Sustainable HRM with SDGs through targeted capacity building and skill development for ESG implementation. By fostering a workforce that is not only technically proficient but also ethically driven and adaptable, organizations can ensure resilience and long-term success in an increasingly sustainability-focused global market. This alignment with SDGs is not just a compliance measure but a strategic imperative that positions organizations as leaders in the global push for sustainability, ultimately contributing to a more equitable, and sustainable world.
Global cooperation and a strong United Nations (UN) system are needed to implement shared global goals such as the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. For the first time, we present a new index of Nation-States’ support for UN-based multilateralism (UN-Mi) based on the principles established in the UN Charter in 1945. We use six headline indicators and follow best practices to verify the statistical validity and robustness of our construct. Our findings suggest that there are significant differences in countries’ support for UN-based multilateralism. Some large economic powers showcase low and declining support for UN-based multilateralism. The poor performance of the United States and some of its allies suggests that the concepts of “Rules-Based-International Order” and “UN-based multilateralism” are truly distinct, and arguably, even opposite, frameworks. Our statistical analysis confirms that the UN-Mi captures something different than other existing constructs that aim to capture, for instance, the size of diplomatic networks or people's confidence in the UN.
Dynamic dial-a-ride problems (DDARPs) involve designing routes and schedules for customers with specific origins and destinations. While the optimization of DDARPs has been extensively examined, these analyses often focus solely on economic decisions. The recent literature emphasizes the inclusion of social and environmental factors in addition to economic considerations for a sustainable transportation system. This paper provides a conceptual review that identifies and classifies the most common DDARP objectives in the three dimensions of the Triple-Bottom-Line (3BL) approach of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social. This study analyzes the interconnections among different objectives and provides insights into multi-objective approaches used in transportation problems. The findings demonstrate the interconnectedness of objectives from different dimensions and highlight the involvement of various stakeholders in decision-making. The results show that optimizing one objective may have implications for other objectives, suggesting a trade-off to be considered. The results reveal that social objectives boost the economic dimension by improving service quality; however, environmental objectives negatively impact the economic dimension. Additionally, a geographical analysis was conducted, which revealed continent-wise variations in research focus and contributions. Future studies should focus more on the social and environmental dimensions to promote a sustainable transportation system.
Using a multi‐layer review based on stakeholder, institutional and legitimacy theories, the current study presents and empirically analyses a novel conceptual framework addressing the relationship between sustainable development practices, internationalization and students' satisfaction in public higher education institutions. Based on participants' self‐perception, a questionnaire was distributed to 738 students at seven Portuguese public higher education institutions. Structural equation modeling was utilized to estimate the multivariate causal relationships. The evidence shows that SDP are positively, directly, and significantly related to internationalization and students' satisfaction. Students' satisfaction is directly and significantly associated with internationalization, also revealing a moderating effect on the relationship between sustainable development practices and internationalization. To achieve legitimacy among their stakeholders, public higher education institutions must build an institutional commitment to sustainability by adopting and disseminating sustainable development practices with actions on a livable campus.
It may seem obvious that the interests of social justice should always align with environmental justice on a limited planet Earth. Unfortunately, this is far from the case in practice, even in the Anthropocene. This essay provides a new cognitive mapping of how ideologically charged discourse splits the interests of people and planet. It offers a pragmatic, semantic, and spatial analysis of how arguments for planetary protection can infelicitously turn into justifications for broadening social inequalities (and the inverse). As such, it presents an implicit critique of holist theories. In striving to demonstrate the fundamental unity of society and the environemnt risk, holistic thinking leaves critics with an impoverished critical toolbox incapable of differentiating between transparently fraudulent greenwashing and scientifically supportable, but ideologically charged, claims. This text is focused on the spatial dimension of Anthropocene ideology. It places a particular focus on the growing place and rhetorical function of outer space within the Anthropocene economy. It illustrates that the promise of extraterrestrial growth, at least when this growth is contextualized against a zoned extraterrestrial space, has emerged as a potent means of justifying inequality in the name of planetary well-being, and so also of justifying the gospel of growth despite our increasing awareness of the limits of our planet.
Despite the increasing need for Post-Disaster and Post-Conflict (PDPC) sheltering, and the rising number of humanitarian architects, there is a vague understanding of how “sustainable” shelters in PDPC situations are being addressed in the literature. Therefore, this paper aims at mapping and analyzing the current status and development trends in research that associates sustainability and shelters in PDPC situations during the past four decades (1982–2022) using a bibliometric analysis. This was fulfilled using VOSviewer to identify and visualize literature development trends, active journals, productive authors, contributing countries, influential institutions, and keyword networks. The findings identified four phases of the development process: no recognition (1982–2002), initiation (2003–2012), rapid growth (2013–2017), and accelerated growth (2018–2022). In terms of publications, the “International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction” and “Sustainability” are the key journals publishing in the field, whereas Gibson and Habert are the most publishing authors. The United States of America was found to be the leading country in the research field, albeit Université de Montréal in Canada was the most active in terms of institutions. The study suggests the promotion of social and economic standards in addition to the environmental while developing sustainable shelter solutions. It also advises shelter professionals from both public and private sectors to improve their collaborations with all related stakeholders.

The article describes a possible approach to solution of the problem of forming an information-logical structure of the strategic management of an organization based on the principles of the process approach. The methodological basis of the study is the concept that strategic tasks are best solved using framework templates for identifying, establishing, maintaining, controlling, and improving strategic management processes. As a result, the prerequisites for building simulation system-dynamic models based on business intelligence and big data analytics are formulated, which meets the demand for ways to transform complex data into sensitive, ready-to-use information and optimize strategic decision-making processes. It is proposed to reformat corporate reporting according to “the fivefold bottom line” principle, which, in addition to financial, social and environmental results, provides for the disclosure of data related to the loyalty of different categories of stakeholders and the organizational culture of the company. The article presents a model of the eco-environment and a cause-and-effect diagram of the strategic management process in a modern organization. The scientific novelty of the results obtained lies in the development of the strategic management theory in the context of the requirements for its process maturity. It is concluded that the models and tools of the process approach can best solve the problem of improving strategic management in a modern organization.KeywordsStrategic managementProcess approachSystem dynamics
