Towards a Sustainable Future: Enterprises’ Strategic Choices and Social Value Creation Under Resource and Environmental Constraints

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Global climate change and resource and environmental pressures are reshaping the competitive landscape and survival laws of the business world. Realizing sustainable development goals is not only a strategic action at the national level but also a core issue that enterprises must address at the micro level. In this context, the behavior of enterprises has evolved from passive compliance with social responsibility to a key factor affecting their long-term competitiveness, survival, and development. This Topic aims to select a series of academic papers that analyze, based on multiple dimensions and perspectives, how enterprises internalize environmental externalities and integrate sustainable concepts into their core businesses and value chains, ultimately achieving a win–win situation between economic performance and environmental benefits. We focus on the strategic choices and social value creation activities of enterprises under resource and environmental constraints and encourage the use of rigorous empirical research methods, including but not limited to econometric analysis, case studies, game model construction, input-output analysis, and network analysis, to provide persuasive scientific evidence.
