Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled "Sustainable Consumption Economics: Impact on the Environmental Management of Products and Services" focuses on the intersection between sustainable consumption, corporate policies, and environmental management. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for research exploring how sustainable consumption practices can influence the formulation of corporate policies and the environmental management of products and services. The articles presented are expected to address both theoretical and practical aspects, providing a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities in this field.
In the current context, sustainability is a global priority, and understanding its impact on the economy and corporate policies is crucial. This Special Issue invites the exploration of how consumption decisions influence economic and environmental sustainability, as well as the management of public, private, and social enterprises. Studies may include empirical results, policy analyses, bibliometric reviews, economic evaluations, and case studies demonstrating the impact of sustainable practices in different contexts. Papers offering practical and applicable solutions to real-world problems will be especially valued.
This Special Issue is also interested in the environmental management of products and services, exploring how companies and organizations can adopt more sustainable practices. Articles analyzing the implementation of sustainability strategies in supply chains, waste reduction, consumption management, marketing strategies, consumption economics, and efficiency measures to promote good environmental care practices will be sought. Additionally, the economic and health benefits derived from these practices will be explored, providing a comprehensive understanding of their impact.
This Special Issue is expected to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together researchers from economics, social sciences, environmental management, and other related fields. The articles should highlight how sustainable policies and practices can be effectively integrated to promote good management as well as environmental protection. Through this collaboration, the aim is to generate a robust body of knowledge that can guide future research and policies in the field of sustainable consumption.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
