The paucity of research analysing thematic persistence in public sustainability limits our understanding of how this field of research evolves and reconfigures itself. The

present paper addresses this gap through a longitudinal bibliometric analysis of 692 publications processed with SciMAT. [...]

Mining is one of the foundations of economic development but has historically been associated with severe socioenvironmental impacts, such as ecosystem degradation, displacement

of traditional communities, and large-scale disasters. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a central role as a mechanism for legitimizing [...]

Unlike Industry 4.0, which primarily emphasized automation and efficiency, Industry 5.0 marks a transition toward human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. One of the

key challenges for Industry 5.0 innovation ecosystems lies in integrating technological progress with social equity, environmental responsibility, and active human [...]

Green innovation (GI) has emerged as a critical research domain, motivated by its essential function of harmonising economic productivity with environmental sustainability.

The adoption of green services, including green production systems, sustainable value chain practices, and circular economic models, is gaining increasing academic [...]

Based on stakeholder agency theory, this structured literature review included 89 empirical quantitative studies published between 2013 and the present on the complex relationship

between financial auditors and corporate social responsibility (CSR) outcomes. We created a research framework based on DeFond and Zhang's (2014) taxonomy and the [...]

Scope 3 emissions have been proposed as a critical metric for evaluating corporate carbon footprint, identifying emission sources, and developing mitigation solutions. Yet,

widespread corporate reporting of Scope 3 emissions remains limited, highlighting a critical gap in both research and practice. [...]

National and supranational institutions are establishing emission trading systems and control schemes in an attempt to manage stakeholders' willingness to engage with regulatory

systems and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Nonetheless, despite the national and supranational focus on carbon neutrality, little research has been centered [...]

Amid growing climate risks and increasingly fierce market competition, whether firms can achieve a win-win for economic returns and environmental benefits through climate risk

disclosure (CRD) has become a salient issue for both academia and practitioners. Focusing on China's A-share listed companies, this study constructs a firm-level [...]

The circular economy is gaining traction as a transformative approach to address climate change and the shortcomings of the linear economic model, which is defined by unsustainable

production and consumption patterns. This study explores the implementation of circularity principles in the Spanish automotive industry, with particular attention [...]

Based on resource dependence theory (RDT), this study focuses on the impact of the geographical positioning of environmental background officials in a supply chain on focal

firms' green innovation. We argue that officials' spatial locations, rather than merely their environmental expertise, influence the dependence between firms and [...]
