The paper presents an overview of the history and achievements of trans-border cooperation in the Lithuania-Germany-Poland triangle in planning instruments in Construction Management, decision-making theory, application of Operational Research, and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods in Civil Engineering and sustainable development. The cooperation and results of the Colloquiums with 35 years of tradition, their multidimensional nature is underlined. The research instruments, methods, studied phenomena are reviewed and characteristic applications in engineering and economics are presented. The knowledge and combined efforts of three academic centers have created a synergy which set in motion many original methods and spectacular implementations. The Colloquium calendar and the evolution of organizational forms are presented along with the inclusion of the informal EURO Working Group on Operations Research in Sustainable Development and Civil Engineering.

Development Gap

The article considers ecological-economic obstacles to the transition to sustainable development in various territories. The limitations and gaps of the management decision-making system in the Territories have been identified, as well as the need to adequately take into account the interests of various States and social groups in order to address them. The importance of these factors is growing in the context of the widening development gap between urbanized and agricultural areas.

Science Methodology

Operations Research (OR) can be identified as the discipline that uses statistics, mathematics, computer-modelling and similar science methodology for decision making (Luss, Rosenwein, 1997). OR, powered with statistics and models, is a high potential engine for use in many areas that require evidence-based or model-based decision making. One of the most promising areas is specifically the infection outbreak management. Surprisingly, very little OR/statistics research has been aimed at infection outbreak management; usually, other general epidemiology issues were tackled in models. However, OR/statistics models for use in the infection outbreak management exist and can be effectively used in public policy and outbreak management practice. Probably, key reasons for that little involvement of OR/statistics in the infection outbreaks management is low awareness among the specialist community of OR/statistics use and benefits for their decision making. Up to the moment, there is lack of contemporary review of OR/statistics-applied models used for the infection outbreak management decision making. The present paper aimed at filling that gap and providing two benefits to involved health care managers and academics: first, developing awareness on the use and benefits of OR/statistics models for the infection outbreak management decision making, and second, for plotting the current state of affairs to highlight research opportunities for developing the field by academics and epidemic control professionals.

Scientific Achievements

Abstract The article presents a description of scientific achievements concerning Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods attained as part of the cooperation between scientific centres of Lithuania, Germany and Poland with a special emphasis on the input by Professor Edmundas K. Zavadskas and his scientific school. The cooperation, which commenced in 1986, focused on “Colloquia” — the systematic, international scientific seminars. The article aimed to summarise and popularise the achievement of these “Colloquia” in the area of MCDM as well as spotlight the outstanding theoretical and application significance of accomplishments by Prof. Zavadskas. Also, the work presents the most recent MCDM methods developed by Prof. Zavadskas that improve the accuracy of calculations and extend the area of their application.

The article examines the essence of ESG ratings, the causes and history of their origin and dissemination. It has been found that sustainable development of the companies is in the interests of both investors, companies themselves and other stakeholders, as there is a clear positive correlation between commercial success, financial performance and the efforts of businesses to implement the principles of sustainable development. One of the important tools for evaluating the effectiveness of sustainable development of companies, their risks and potential opportunities in environmental, social and corporate governance spheres are ESG ratings, which provide the conversion of large amounts of information into assessments that can be used in management decision-making. It has been defined that ESG ratings are determined by more than one hundred specialized rating agencies and companies – providers of information and financial decision-making tools. The classification and characteristics of the main ESG ratings are presented. The proposed classification differentiates ESG ratings on such attributes as the level of coverage of companies; specialization; transparency of formation methodology; information used for ratings’ preparation; scale used to rank companies. Examination of the nine best in terms of quality and usefulness international ESG ratings (RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment, Climate, Water & Forest Scores, Sustainalytics' ESG Risk Ratings, MSCI ESG Ratings, ISS ESG Governance QualityScore, ISS-Oekom Corporate Rating, Bloomberg ESG Disclosure Scores, FTSE Russell's ESG Ratings, Thomson Reuter's ESG Scores) and the first in Ukraine professional corporate sustainability rating Sustainable Ukraine allowed to establish that they differ significantly in algorithms of their formation, areas and indicators for companies’ assessment, sources of data used, etc., however, the common characteristics of the most authoritative ESG ratings are wide market coverage, transparency and correctness of the methodology used, experience and competence of specialists – developers of ratings.
