The rapid increasing number of automobile products has brought great convenience to people’s living, but it has also caused serious environmental issues, waste of resources and energy shortage during its whole lifecycle. Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) refers to the company’s responsibility to avoid damage to the natural environment derived from its corporate social responsibility (CSR), and it plays an important role in solving resource and environmental problems. However, due to various internal and external reasons, it is difficult for the automobile manufacturing industry to find the key drivers for the implementation of CER. This research proposes a model framework that uses the fuzzy decision-making test and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) method to analyze the drivers of CER from the perspective of the triple bottom line (TBL) of economy, environment and society. Firstly, the common drivers of CER are collected using literature review and questionnaire survey methods. Secondly, the key drivers are analyzed by using the fuzzy DEMATEL. Finally, the proposed approach was verified through a case study. The research results show that some effective measures to implement CER can be provided for the government, the automobile manufacturing industry and the public to promote sustainable development of Chinese Auto Manufacturing Industry (CAMI).

This chapter describes the current situation of the chemical manufacturing industry and looks to the future demands on the sector such as: for sustainability, the advent of new bio-based feedstocks for improved energy management and the implications of these demands on the sector. These implications include definitions of sustainability criteria for the chemical manufacturing industry and the need for transparent reporting following the Triple Bottom Line approach. The important role of chemical (or more generally, process) engineers in delivering bio-based sustainable solutions is emphasised, but this also suggests that a new way of thinking about the discipline is required. Indeed, there are arguments that the demand for a sustainable chemical manufacturing sector could bring about the next paradigm shift in the discipline with concomitant education implications.

ABSTRACT.Current firm performance is not only measured by economic term (single bottom line) but alsoby social and environmental (triple bottom line). Purposes of this research are analyzing of TBL disclosureand influences factors, by using sample of companies in Indonesia and Japan.This paper investigates Triple Bottom Line (TBL) disclosure of 50 of the largest Indonesian andJapanese companies by using secondary data. Twenty two disclosure criteria were developed for each of theTBL disclosure areas: economic, social, and enviromental. Disclosure information was examined in annualreports, separate or stand-alone report and company‟s website. Regression analysis has been used to examinethe determinants of TBL disclosure practice empirically.Our result indicated that, for total of TBL disclosure (combining economic, social and environmentalcatagories), the extent of reporting is higher for firm with larger size and higher liquidity, and special forenvironmental disclosure for firm with membership in the manufacturing industry for Indonesian companies.Futher analysis indicated that the results of the total TBL disclosure are primarily driven by non-economicdisclosures. We also found that the extent of overall TBL disclosure is higher for Japanese firms, withenvironmental disclosure being the main key. This result could be attributed to the different national culturesand to the regulation environment between Indonesian and Japan.Keywords: TBL, economic, social, environment, Indonesia, Japan

This study aims to determine the application of environmental accounting in terms of the Triple Bottom Line concept at H. M. Djafar Harun District Hospital in North Kolaka Regency. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. Data collection uses primary and secondary data with in-depth interviews with informants who are in the area of H. M. Djafar Harun District Hospital in North Kolaka Regency. The results showed that the environmental accounting carried out by H. M. Djafar Harun District Hospital in North Kolaka Regency generally met the triple bottom line concept which included three main elements, namely profit, people and planet. Economic responsibility (profit) can be seen in health products produced from other health service activities that have been developed. Environmental responsibility (planet) can be seen from CSR programs in the environmental field that are actually carried out to save and preserve the environment such as planting trees and landfills. Social responsibility (people) is actually implemented through CSR activities in the provision of health facilities. This means that the principle of sustainable development which states that people and the environment are an integral part of the wheels of business turnover has been done by H. M. Djafar Harun District Hospital in North Kolaka Regency.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the dimensions for “sustainability-oriented hospitality service innovation (SOHSI)” in the context of food and beverage (F&B) industry. For this to be done, the relationship between service innovation dimensions and the triple bottom line (TBL) dimensions (including social, environmental and economic aspects of sustainability) is investigated. Design/methodology/approach In this study, primarily a detailed literature review was carried out to specify the dimensions of service innovation in hospitality industry and sustainability as well. Then, fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, was used to reveal the causal relationship within these dimensions. Findings A framework is presented to help F&B organizations make their innovative services more sustainable. F&B servicing companies should focus especially on “environmental entrepreneurship,” “interior design” and “brand management” dimensions to get benefit underway to gain competitive advantage. Originality/value In hospitality industry where competition is increasing every day, it is necessary to create brand-new services or offer renowned services via diversified ways, to step forward from competitors. In this regard, it is important for companies to ensure that every innovative service should be sustainable. Until now, researchers have mostly studied environmental dimension of sustainable service innovation. However, there are no studies evaluating sustainability concept with the TBL approach. Therefore, this study contributes to the field of sustainability in hospitality service innovation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the agile manufacturing barriers (AMBs) for establishing a cause and effect relationship among them. Design/methodology/approach A methodology is proposed using fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to capture multiple experts’ qualitative judgments for mitigating the impact of the AMBs. In order to validate the proposed methodology, it is applied to an Indian automobile manufacturing company. Findings Out of 36 AMBs identified through literature review, 20 AMBs are found to be relevant to the case company. Five AMBs (i.e. lack of resource reconfiguration, inefficient conflicting management styles, imperfect market knowledge, inadequate information handling and improper strategic plan) were identified as significant cause group where the case company has to put efforts and resources. Also the impact relationship matrix for each AMB has been developed to visualize its interactions (i.e. influencing and influenced) among other AMBs. Research limitations/implications The results obtained are specific to the Indian automobile manufacturing company and it cannot be generalized for every manufacturing company or any other sector. However, the proposed approach can be a basis and provide a platform to understand and analyze the interactions between AMBs. Practical implications The proposed methodology will show the appropriate areas for allocating efforts and resources to mitigate the impact of AMBs for successful implementation of agile manufacturing. Originality/value According to the authors’ knowledge, no work is reported in the literature that proposes a framework using fuzzy DEMATEL for the analysis of AMBs in Indian automobile manufacturing company.

Although the research on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) has attached increasing attention in recent years, the definition and measurement of CSR in the construction industry are still not sufficient. This paper reviewed previous literatures on the definition and measurement of CSR. Then, the study defined and constructed the index of corporate social responsibility in the construction industry based on the classic theory of triple bottom line and stakeholder theory. At last, the study put forward the further research of CSR in the construction industry of China.
