Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue titled “Integrated Approaches for Enterprise Sustainability” I invite the submission of papers that foster discussion on improving enterprise sustainability. The development and implementation of new solutions that will lead to sustainable development requires a systematic approach and cooperation between various groups of stakeholders, including businesses, consumers, politicians, the world of science and non-governmental organizations. Therefore I invite to the Special Issue not only researchers from academia but also decision-makers from industry and policy-makers from governmental organizations. This call is intentionally broad in order to address a wide range of topics and combine management as well as engineering knowledge to deal with the multifaceted nature of sustainability. Theoretical and applied research papers focused on organizational forms, business models, management concepts as well as technological solutions (smart technologies, Industry 4.0 technologies) that might support enterprise sustainability are especially welcome. Suitable topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Corporate social responsibility management
- Stakeholder management
- CSR reporting, integrated reporting
- Sustainable manufacturing
- Sustainable Industry 4.0
- Risk management
- Circular economy
- Sustainable smart technologies
- Life cycle thinking
- Sustainable supply chain management
- Sustainable procurement
- Safety, environmental and social responsibility in extractive industry
- Socially responsible leadership
- Sustainable consumption and production patterns
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic we have to face with nowadays force us to rethink social responsibility of companies and risk management issues again. Thus research contributions that refer to this special crisis situation are of utmost importance.
