Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing urgency to address climate change and meet sustainable development goals has compelled organizations to integrate sustainability into their core operations. Concurrently, the digital revolution has generated vast amounts of data, offering unprecedented opportunities to optimize processes and strategies. This Special Issue aims to explore the critical intersection of Data-Driven Decision-Making (DDDM) and corporate sustainability. We seek contributions that investigate how data analytics, artificial intelligence, and Big Data technologies can be leveraged to create more efficient, resilient, and environmentally sound business systems. The objective is to highlight innovative methodologies and practical applications that enable organizations not only to measure and report their sustainability performance but also to drive meaningful improvements in areas such as supply chain management, the circular economy, resource optimization, and carbon footprint reduction. We invite the submission of original research articles, case studies, and comprehensive reviews that advance both theory and practice in this vital and emerging field.
Dr. José Luís Reis
