Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today’s industry is critical to the development of technology, innovation, and information activities, as these measures will improve the efficiency of enterprises while ensuring their competitiveness [1]. It is considered that factories and enterprises should pay more attention to the environmental protection and recyclability of materials and practice corporate social responsibility. However, this is found less often in real cases. For example, carbon information disclosure is one of the most important aspects of sustainability assessment in the industries [2]; a little negligence has been shown while proving facts to the public in the case of carbon information disclosure.
In addition, it was found that leadership change was also considered an important factor for presenting carbon information disclosure [3]. It should be kept in mind that the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility always promotes corporate innovation, ensuring employees’ good health and well-being. Even in a commercial bank, if importance is given to sustainable financial supervision and a financial risk control system, it will lead to innovation. As in a previous study, green innovation for fashion brands is a sustainable approach for the textile and fashion industry [4]. Moreover, sustainable material management is also very important to how efficiently we can recycle and reuse the materials in the industry [5]. In brief, these sustainable practices help us to achieve innovation in today’s industry and sustainable development goals at the global level.
Although several research works have been completed, many challenging problems remain to be overcome, as follows:
- Approaches to promoting corporate innovation
- Social responsibility for innovation
- Corporate social responsibility
- Green marketing
- Carbon information disclosure
- Sustainable innovation
- Public policy and innovation
- Good health and well-being of employees
Thus, this Special Issue invites authors to address these new and innovative topics to fill the gaps in the research.
This Special Issue welcomes experts working in all sectors of industries desperate for sustainable development. These might include all sustainable management-related practices and efforts, including but not limited to corporate social responsibility, carbon information disclosure, sustainable innovation in the financial sector, green marketing, etc., to achieve sustainable development goals through management practices.
