A Novel Environmental, Social, and Governance Performance Assessment Model for the Global Oil and Gas Sector
The environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practice is now mainstream in business strategy across various business domains, including the oil and gas (O&G) sector. The O&G sector faces increasing pressure to align with global sustainability goals, making a comprehensive ESG assessment a strategic priority. However, developing a comprehensive ESG performance assessment model for the O&G sector, considering both qualitative and quantitative da…
Comprehensive ESG Assessment Framework for Metro Industry: A Softmax Enhanced Hybrid Weighting Method
This study seeks to answer how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) indicators can be selected, weighted, and interpreted for the metro industry, while generic ESG frameworks are unable to explore sustainability challenges for the metro industry. Using 2022–2024 operational and ESG disclosure data from two leading metro operators in Asia and Europe, this study develops a sector‐specific ESG indicator system and applies a softmax‐enhanced h…
An Innovative Social Life Cycle Decision‐Making Model for Assessing Social Sustainability: A Case of Green Hydrogen Production
The energy sector is shifting to clean energy sources to achieve the goal of global carbon neutrality. Green hydrogen is considered a key player in decarbonizing various sectors due to its high energy density and environmentally friendly combustion. However, the social implications of green hydrogen production (GHP) remain underexplored. Particularly, there is a lack of studies on developing a comprehensive social life cycle decision support fram…
Carbon Reduction Strategies for the Leather Supply Chain: Implications for Climate Change Mitigation Policy Toward Carbon Neutrality
Due to climate change, businesses are being forced to restructure their strategies to align with the United Nations roadmap for carbon neutrality. Emerging economies are under increased pressure, especially in manufacturing and processing sectors such as leather, which exacerbate climate impacts from carbon emissions and waste generation. To mitigate climate impacts, a sustainable leather supply chain must be ensured, considering carbon reduction…
Sustainable circularity performance indicators to optimize waste management at company level
The circular economy is one of the new challenges for companies that want to achieve sustainability objectives. Although many recommendations in the scientific debate confirm the importance of sustainable circularity performance evaluation and underline the difficulty within companies to simultaneously evaluate social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainability. To solve this gap, experimental research has been conducted in an Italian …
Uncomfortable knowledge in sustainability science: Essays in honor of David Pimentel (1925–2019)
Transboundary impacts on SDG progress across Chinese cities: A spatial econometric analysis
A comprehensive review on energy poverty: Definition, measurement, socioeconomic impact and its alleviation for carbon neutrality
Energy poverty is widely recognized as a significant societal and political challenge worldwide, impacting the quality of life for people in both developed and developing countries. This paper begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the definition of energy poverty, categorizing various measurement methods, and highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, a bibliometric analysis is conducted, which covers a wi…
A multi-stage optimisation-based decision-making framework for sustainable hybrid energy system in the residential sector
Integrating renewables into existing energy infrastructure to construct hybrid energy systems (HES) plays a vital role for advancing energy sustainability. While various approaches, such as energy systems analysis and linear or non-linear optimisation, have been employed to achieve energy sustainability mainly at the national or city level, there has been a lack of focus on achieving energy sustainability in the residential sector through a holis…
Leveraging environmental, social, and governance strategies for sustainable tannery solid waste management towards achieving sustainable development goals
Tannery solid waste (TSW) management is vital for promoting sustainable development in the leather industry. However, sustainable management of TSW is challenging as it contains hazardous chemicals. Implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices can support managing TSW towards achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, it is not easy to implement ESG practices for TSW management since numerous challenges exist i…
Synergies and trade‐offs across sustainable development goals: A novel method incorporating indirect interactions analysis
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) are presented as significantly interacted. Yet most studies only investigated the direct interactions of SDG targets, and indirect interactions, that is, the interlinkages transmitted through one or more mediums, should also be considered to obtain more accurate interaction estimation and more scientific policy decisions. We first made a methodological contribution by proposing a plus‐minus decision‐making…
