This article presents the results of analyzing environmental impact indicators thirteen ceramic tile adhesives (CTAs). The analyzed data came from ten third-party-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) created in 2016–2022. paper examines seven for modules A1–A3 (cradle-to-gate). Significant differences were observed between values indicators, which, case Global Warming Potential (GWP), differed by almost 270% most extreme case. For depletion abiotic resources (elements) (ADPe), products nearly fourteen thousand times. Results are discussed perspective CTAs’ manufacturer assessing product. analysis focused on issues such as historical dimension data, which is basis Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), need their constant updating, and subject uncertainty—usually wholly omitted considerations construction products. also evaluated terms planned introduction new 3+ assessment system connection with future amendment Construction Products Regulation (CPR). showed that, despite EPDs functioning a decade, obligatory sustainability using did not create conditions its proper occurrence. without obtaining reliable CTAs, correct AVCP possible, consumer able to make choices.

Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is going through a critical period that challenges its capacity to respond and environmental crises, which could be associated with the growing Hypocrisy (CH) phenomenon. This study aims identify theoretical perspectives of scientific literature on CH as contemporary phenomenon concerning CSR. Design/methodology/approach We adopted sequential mixed-method approach in this study. First, we conducted bibliometric analysis publications Web Science database. Subsequently, performed content Findings The review revealed two main research paths: first deals perceptions hypocrisy; second relates company’s for disclosure. In addition, found researchers use different expressions refer gap between discourse action organisations. Some authors suggest subtle differences these terms, while others them interchangeably. causes vary according facets hypocrisy negative implications reputation credibility companies. Originality/value contributes understanding dissociation CSR statements practices. To end, it combines collates studied from sides using numerous designations.

One of the most important trends in today’s construction is energy efficiency. Nowadays, undergoing a revolution thanks to modern technologies. Technological innovations not only speed up process but also improve quality, durability, and safety structure, ensure efficiency, as well aesthetics comfort use. Modern technologies, such photovoltaic panels heat pumps, can produce their own electricity for buildings’ needs with minimal use fossil fuels. This leads economic benefits, has positive impact on environment. Furthermore, choosing right materials key factor sustainable construction. Concrete, steel other traditional building materials, although durable, have negative environment due high consumption during production. study employed SWOT-TOWS analysis determine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats basic used building. Its purpose was compile all evaluate them using same technological, environmental, socio-economic indicators. The results allowed comparison terms usability provided opportunity strategies further application, thereby filling research gap this area. Taking into account care natural environment, article presents current world. Using SWOT analysis, advantages disadvantages were indicated, economic, social, legal, technological barriers development discussed. Particular attention paid pro-ecological technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Enterprises in the prefabricated building supply chain (PBSC) only share information according to their interests, which is bound cause conflicts of interest and reduce efficiency operations. To promote sharing (IS) PBSC, it necessary construct an evolutionary game model that fits realistic network. In this paper, based on integration existing research, 13 influencing factors IS PBSC are analyzed comprehensively from perspective ecology theory. addition, due complexity uncertainty enterprise interaction network structure affect decision. Therefore, paper builds under a scale-free network, conducts numerical simulation analysis with MATLAB 2017 software analyze evolution law different situations. The results show (1) when scale large, density sharers generally increases, speed steady state slows down; (2) eight can increase sharers’ density, five inhibit it, but have no significant effect reach state. Based results, proposes countermeasures suggestions such as strengthening support policy environment social environment, setting up demonstration benchmark leading construction enterprises, establishing directional resource database, improving technologies risk management systems provide scientific basis for government supervision decision making.
