Linking Life Cycle Thinking Science and Practice
Food loss and waste prevention and reduction (FLWPR) initiatives are key for advancing sustainable agri-food systems. Yet, organizations are under growing pressure to implement data-driven sustainability management practices, while existing assessment tools often prove analytically complex and lack practical usability. The objective of this study is to develop and empirically test a comprehensive sustainability assessment tool designed to support…
Environmental assessment of food loss and waste prevention and reduction solutions
The objective of this research is to analyze the inherent complexity associated with decision-making concerning food losses and waste prevention or reduction, considering a multi-stakeholder approach and the possibility of contradictory environmental impact results derived from different solutions. This research defines six scenarios with the support of expert knowledge to assess the environmental impact of food loss and waste prevention and redu…
Free, Prior, and Informed Consent
Free, Prior, and Informed Consent ( fpic ) is crucial for the exercise of indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination, a binding human rights norm, as it provides them with the opportunity to determine how their lands and resources are developed. While numerous companies have committed to respecting fpic in their corporate policies, there continues to be a huge disconnect between public rhetoric and actions on the ground, and indigenous peopl…
A framework for assessing corporate sustainability risks along global supply chains
In today’s globalized world, characterized by complex supply chain networks, integrating sustainability supply chain risks into the corporate assessment models seems crucial. To tackle the global challenges this paper presents a Sustainability Risk Assessment Framework that allows measurement of environmental and social risks upstream and downstream, along global supply chains, using a combination of quantitative methods (environmental and social…
Analyzing the suitability of LCIA methods to foster the most beneficial food loss and waste prevention action in terms of environmental sustainability
The food value chain is responsible for significant environmental and resource pressures. 14% of the total food produced in the EU is lost or wasted along the supply chain (FAO, 2019) and 19% is disposed of when reaching the consumption stage (UNEP, 2024). Therefore, to tackle the problem of food loss and waste (FLW), it is crucial to make the agri-food system sustainable. Adopting a life cycle approach to measure and assess the impacts created b…
A comparative account of indigenous participation in extractive projects
Indigenous peoples’ right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) has been recognised as an important principle to ensure their meaningful participation in decision-making processes related to extractive projects. Yet, many companies grapple with their duty to engage in good faith consultations with indigenous peoples implied by the standard of human rights due diligence. Instead of understanding project impacts from the perspective of these …
Sustainability materiality matrices in doubt
This study builds on the research gap that arises from the consistency analysis of the GRI-materiality approach with other prioritization approaches. The main objective is to explore to what extent corporate environmental performance is consistent using two different prioritization approaches. This study employs a novel quantitative approach to assess environmental performance through the prioritization of environmental aspects by using companies…
