The monitoring report on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a global context involves large number of actors as it represents probably biggest change that our society is implementing. Actions at all levels, from local, regional and national to aggregation multiple countries (e.g. EU 27) are needed achieve sustainable future. This work focuses perspective (Italy) where multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) used measure current performance. A sustainability score for each region calculated set 175 indicators contained 17 SDGs. Additionally, scores disaggregated along three pillars - social (1-5, 10, 16, 17), environmental (6, 13-15) economic (7-9, 11, 12). results highlight positive performance northern regions and, particular, Trentino Alto Adige, which ranks first two considered scenarios. In addition, relevance territorial specificities emerges individual SDGs shows different leading regions. It noteworthy sub-group southern regions, contrast sub-groups. Evidently, policy actions reduce long-lasting North/South divide-yet highlighted heterogeneous dimensions calls well targeted measures necessary regain competitiveness European level, without compromising with sustainability.

The implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies has improved the flexibility entire manufacturing system. These are Internet Things (IoT), big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Additive Manufacturing (AM), advanced robotics, virtual reality, cloud computing, simulation, and among others, have arisen to improve in is becoming recognised as a unique industrial paradigm. It predicated on widespread adoption communication information technology, which would lead organisational performance flexibility. incorporation true game-changer terms customisation.

The emergence of the circular economy concept has pushed industry owners towards green supply chain and waste reduction. closed-loop originates from its purpose is to increase efficiency profitability by reducing energy consumption. Hence, in this research, an integrated bi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model developed with aim optimizing both operational strategic decisions a network. proposed benefits location-inventory-routing problem structure network, it applies carbon tax policy vehicle scheduling reduce emissions waiting time, respectively. Considering problems such as split-delivery, storage possibility, shortage, supplier selection, order allocation, heterogenous vehicles, uncertain demand led development comprehensive model. A stochastic scenario-based approach used deal uncertainty, augmented epsilon-constraint method employed solve applicability effectiveness solution for achieving are examined through implementation cable wire Iran.

Abstract Nowadays, to remain competitive, manufacturing companies must address the Industry 4.0 paradigm, particularly cyber-physical system (CPS) revolution, following sustainable challenges. Digital innovation hubs (DIHs), as ecosystems that provide technical knowhow, experimental skills, and specialist knowledge, are progressively gaining a strategic role in supporting such transition, especially European small medium enterprises (SMEs). Several projects have been funded by Commission support growth action of DIHs. However, which among four main functionalities (networking, skills training, test before investing, access funding) each DIH is capable addressing its daily still unclear. Thus, it important configure service portfolios DIHs (i.e. set services can based on characterising assets, capabilities). In this paper, data-driven business–ecosystem–skills–technology (D-BEST) reference model proposed then tested through survey. The triggers identification materialisation service-based collaboration processes their portfolio analysis supports modelling Collaborative Networks 4.0, player because ‘by-design’ characteristics. Finally, extended adoption models developed different emerging networks, flexibility interoperability be reached, fostering unique digital platform showcase offer triggering creation multiple inter- intra-communications collaborations stakeholders belonging ecosystems, favouring exchange development joint services.

Purpose A sustainability reporting framework must demonstrate that resources are fairly bought and used to support diverse life on earth within habitable ranges. The purpose of this paper is propose a principle-based measures, audits reports based outcomes impacts as part the corporate framework. Design/methodology/approach This draws United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) targets for preparing It uses Gaia Theory Distributive Justice constructs align with sustainable development principles delineate approach. Findings Frameworks promote have increasingly embraced UN SDGs but overly focus performance promoting inter-firm comparisons. introduces where firms their chosen contribution using 17 goal posts. Research limitations/implications conceptual presents theoretical future research can empirically validate enhance reporting. Practical implications implementable reporting, integrates financial economic intellectual capital frameworks. Social highlights importance acquiring distribute justice fairness. joint project between stakeholders.

The concept of Sustainable Production is evolving with changes triggered by the emergence new economic and industrial models such as Circular Economy Industry 4.0. However, most studies that currently link these concepts are based on principles defined 20 years ago. Therefore, primary aim this study to redefine should govern operations in transition towards a smart industry models. To end, an initial proposal 11 was shared world-class experts (academics practitioners) consensus sought through Delphi Panel. Ten emerged from study, which were evaluated according criteria significance, parsimony, semantic consistency empirical adequacy. Additionally, relationships between ten principles, Interpretative Structural Model (ISM) technique applied. ISM identified independent or dependent each other established principles. findings suggest Principle 5 (“Prioritize employees' well-being”), 6 (“Enhance management commitment sustainability”), 9 (“Measure optimize sustainable processes”) 10 (“Boost use technologies”) help establish ideal context enhance development rest characterize Production. presentation opens possibilities for researchers while helping managers better understand sustainability terms production and, therefore contribute achieving SDG 12.

Abstract Business organizations may be able to improve their Sustainability Performance (SP) by adopting Total Quality Management (TQM) concepts combined with Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies. This research has developed a model investigate the influence of TQM and I4.0 on SP. It also analyzes mediating role in relationship between A survey was conducted among 240 respondents employed ready-made garment (RMG) industries Bangladesh. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique used analyze collected data. Research findings show that both technologies have significant impact sustainable growth Bangladeshi RMG sector. Moreover, it is observed mediates The helps explain performance. study will provide guideline for industrial executives securing sustainability through adoption We are not aware any additional studies look at possible link TQM, I4.0, SP, as well
