Non-financial reporting (NFR) has become crucial to corporate sustainability strategies as companies demonstrate their commitment the environmental, social, and governance actions outlined in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda 2030. Among various mandatory NFR initiatives, Sustainability Reporting (SR) emerged a widely adopted practice by worldwide. A gap that study addresses is theoretical perspectives on SR context of SDG. Then we conduct bibliometric science mapping analysis research trends precisely map SDGs which also current literature. We find an exponential increase number publications citations SR, particularly after 2015, coincides with increased public awareness scrutiny SDGs. At country level, Australia leads total 13 SDGs, followed UK, Spain, Italy, each address 12 Emerging economies such Indonesia, Malaysia, India have contributions since 2019. keyword co-occurrence identified three main clusters: stakeholder engagement, governance, accountability; sustainable development goals climate change; global initiatives. All clusters had highly cited related SDG 8 (decent work), 9 (industry innovation), (responsible consumption). This highlights interdisciplinary nature its relevance multiple The distinctive utilized social network examine based publications, affirmed centrality 12. prominence percentile, indicates momentum particular topic, identify future topics align These include cause-related marketing, environmentally preferable purchasing decisions, environmental management systems, education for sustainability, green computing.

Abstract Purpose This paper aims to analyse the adoption of sustainable development goals (SDGs) disclosure via lens diffusion innovations theory, legitimacy theory and planned behaviour presents insights into perceptions held by preparers on their decision adopt or reject SDG disclosure. Design/methodology/approach uses a mixed-methods approach, combining content statistical analysis as well interviews, examine preparer perceptions. Findings The reveals low, but growing Although is perceived relatively advantageous for variety reasons, incompatibility complexity may limit Trialability observability disclosure, other hand, support hinder Research limitations/implications generated not be generalisable across all populations. A smaller sample companies were interviewed. Practical implications offers insight attitudes which must altered if greater achieved United Nations 2030 deadline. Social Sustainability reporting (SR) has pivotal role play in supporting achievement SDGs, accounting are particularly needed. raises issues that should considered both practitioners, succeed. Originality/value contributes application an underutilised theoretical framework SR research, first longitudinal provide evidence over time extension similar studies innovations.

Recycling of different industrial wastes as supplement of cement for sustainable production of mortar

Journal of Building Engineering, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 86, С. 108765 - 108765

Опубликована: Фев. 11, 2024

Day by day, soaring demand for natural resource devouring and CO2-producing material, cement in the construction industry, poses enormous ecological risk, accelerating requirement of an alternative or supplementary cementitious material (SCM). In contrast, retrieval a massive amount industrial waste needs proper attention to alleviate environmental burden. This research aims utilize three common wastes: recycled concrete dust (RCD), ladle furnace slag (LFS), pyrolysis carbon black (PCB) as SCM cement-based composites, offering sustainable approach towards green atmosphere. The study experimentally compares performance 13 different mortar mixes, substituting ordinary Portland (OPC) with varying weight percentages (0% control, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) each waste. Including chemical composition analysis OPC binders; several physical properties, mechanical particularly compressive strength, flexural capacity, strength at elevated temperatures, activity index (SAI), durability characteristics are performed on afore-mentioned mixes. Moreover, failure pattern, microstructure, presence substances composites examined. investigation also highlights strength-CO2 emission measure economic viability considering processing charges. results satisfy ASTM standard requirements all minimum 75% SAI was achieved cases except 20% replacement level PCB. Compared conventional control mix, 5% RCD blended exhibited 9% higher strength. PCB showed continuing decline reduction up 45% level. Incorporating 10% SCM, improved obtained terms (+7.9%), (+11.7%), 800 °C (+22%), ratio (+15%), economy (+9.1%) while compromising workability (−62.7%) durability.

Quality Education as a Sustainable Development Goal in the Context of 2030 Agenda: Bibliometric Approach

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 12(15), С. 5884 - 5884

Опубликована: Июль 22, 2020

Quality education is understood as one of the most powerful and proven drivers for ensuring sustainable development, which can be applied in various educational contexts, formal non-formal, generate multiple benefits general public. Given its relevance, this article presents a bibliometric approach scientific production generated around Sustainable Development Goal (SPG) 4 that seeks to “Ensure inclusive quality all promote lifelong learning” priority objective 2030 Agenda. To develop research, literature search was conducted Web Science Scopus databases. The final sample 240 publications. data were analyzed ten variables: year publication, type document, area indexation, periodical publications, productive authors, institutions, countries, languages, cited articles, key words. findings study indicate education, within Goals, gaining with 2019 being highest production. This growing theme transmitted mainly through articles papers English, there are no research groups or authors broad background conclusion important necessary know reality on subject able make proposals lines development.
