The United Nations action plan for sustainable development, named “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” represents an international governance arrangement in response to the recent environmental challenges and social inequalities. Importantly, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework sets a purpose to protect human rights, end poverty, reduce inequality, protect the planet and its natural resources, and enhance sustainable economic growth. Recently, due to the deterioration in global environmental conditions, increasing stakeholder demands, and stricter regulations and law all over the world, firms have realized the importance of integrating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their strategic orientations in order to enhance their environmental, social performances and keep sustainable development.
The increasing concern from stakeholders including the global community, managers, consumers, and media as regards global environmental issues has forced companies to adopt a proactive approach to improve their environmental practices and corporate sustainability performance. As a step toward the modern business world, the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and proactive environmental management standards can be regarded as an effective way for businesses to achieve better social, environmental, and economic performance. Better environmental management can increase corporate profitability and improves the corporate image. This can also help in reducing CO2 emissions and show a higher commitment to climate change. These broader inter-relationships, in particular links between environmental management, climate change, and sustainable development consider relevant topics to be explored.
We welcome research papers using diverse methodological and theoretical approaches and focusing on the context of Emerging and Developing Economies. We welcome different levels of aggregation of data including country-level and firm-level which use methods such as panel data analysis.
We invite submissions that address, but are not restricted to, the following issues:
• Environmental Management and Sustainable Development.
• New measure for Environmental Management
• New measure for SDGs adoption
• The interaction between environmental management and SDGs
• Socially Responsible Investment (SRI)
• Environmental management and stakeholders’ reactions to United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)
This Research Topic welcomes the following types of manuscripts: Original Research, Brief Research Report, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Policy Brief, Review, Systematic Review, Community Case Study, and Conceptual Analysis.
