Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital transformation, rapidly advancing AI, and the expanding availability of enterprise data have opened new pathways for achieving business sustainability. This Special Issue focuses on the integration of business analytics, statistical learning, and data mining techniques to enhance corporate sustainability, optimize resource efficiency, support ESG decision-making, and strengthen resilience within global value chains.
Recent developments—including generative AI for supply‑chain forecasting, interpretable machine learning for ESG risk detection, and multi‑objective optimization for low‑carbon operations—demonstrate the growing role of data-driven intelligence in enabling sustainable business innovation. We seek high-quality research that bridges analytics and sustainability, delivering methodological advances and actionable insights for practitioners.
Topics of interest include predictive and prescriptive analytics, sustainability performance modeling, ESG assessment, anomaly detection for green compliance, and AI‑augmented decision intelligence systems. Both conceptual advances and empirical case studies across industries are welcome. This Special Issue aims to provide a rigorous foundation for the next generation of sustainable, data‑enabled enterprise systems.
