Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability has become a central concern for organizations navigating complex environmental, social, and economic challenges. In response to growing regulatory pressures, stakeholder expectations, and planetary boundaries, businesses are rethinking their strategies, operations, and value propositions. Achieving sustainability requires more than technical solutions—it involves transformative change in organizational culture, governance models, and stakeholder engagement practices.
This Special Issue seeks to explore how organizations integrate sustainability into their strategic and operational frameworks. We invite contributions that examine tools, processes, and practices for implementing sustainable innovation, measuring environmental and social impacts, and fostering circular economy principles. Interdisciplinary perspectives and real-world case studies are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Organizational transformation for sustainability;
- Sustainable business models and innovation;
- Circular economy and resource efficiency;
- ESG (environmental, social, and governance) frameworks;
- Stakeholder engagement and social responsibility;
- Green technologies and operational practices;
- Sustainability metrics and impact assessment.
We look forward to your contributions.
