Sustainable Supplier Selection

Supplier selection is critical for sustainability management in global supply chains. In this chapter, the authors present a content analysis based literature review for global sustainable supplier selection. The supplier selection is investigated along four dimensions, namely economic, environmental, social, and global. The results of the study yield that environmental and social criteria are often used together for supplier selection whereas global risk criteria are rarely used, even less as we move along multiple tiers of the supply chain. From the review, the authors also identified the top criteria along these four dimensions for global sustainable supplier selection. Along the economic dimension, the top three criteria are quality, cost, and general supplier characteristics. The social dimension has employees, transparency and engagement, and local communities' influence as the top criteria. Along the environmental dimension, the top criteria are pollution and hazardous emissions, standards and management systems, green product and design, and green competencies and processes. The top criteria along the global dimension are distance, other risks, and politics and economy.

New Perspective

Taking Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei as an example, it analyzes the comprehensive competitiveness of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. It selects four dimensions: economic dimension, social dimension, environmental dimension, and technological dimension. From a new perspective, it explores the application of niche theory in regional synergy. Based on the analysis of the ecological niche, the coordination degree model of the composite system is further used to calculate the status quo of the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2013 to 2019. The results show that Beijing has the highest ecological niche, followed by Tianjin, and Hebei is the weakest. In 2019, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is at a good level of coordination, with the social subsystem having the highest order and the technological subsystem having the lowest order. Based on this, it is proposed that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions should be scientifically positioned, the overall need to be aligned with international trends, and the internal planning should be integrated to further enhance the level of cooperation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

ABSTRACT This paper develops and analyzes a taxonomy that divides the Federative Units of Brazil into groups with similar characteristics, distributed over the indicators of the four dimensions of sustainable development described by the Dashboard of Sustainability method. The research methodology adopted was multivariate analysis by interdependence technique through cluster analysis. The results suggest that on average, the federal units contribute differently to the different dimensions of sustainable development of the country and form distinct groups. Brazil’s sustainable development index has an environmental dimension with a strong contribution from the grouping of states in the North and Northeast regions. The social dimension is positively influenced by the grouping composed of the federative units of the South and Midwest regions. In contrast, the economic dimension is positively influenced by all federal units, however, in a different way. The institutional dimension was mainly influenced by Ceará and Bahia (Northeast region), all South and Southeast states and the Federal District, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul (Center-West region), all components of a single grouping.

Balancing the social, economic and environmental priorities for public health is at the core of the United Nations (UN) approaches to sustainable development, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The four dimensions of sustainable diets are often presented as health, society, economics, and the environment. Although sustainable diet research has focused on health and the environment, the social and economic dimensions of sustainable diets and food systems should not be forgotten. Some research priorities and sociocultural indicators for sustainable healthy diets and food systems are outlined in this report. The present goal is to improve integration of the social dimension into research on food and nutrition security.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that determine two forms of crowdfunding campaign success: success in securing the necessary financial resources and personal success in terms of the entrepreneur’s satisfaction. Specifically, it studies factors linked to the relationship between entrepreneurs and funders (co-creation and feedback) and factors linked to the campaign’s content (dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR)). Design/methodology/approach An empirical study of 52 crowdfunding entrepreneurs was conducted. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was performed. Findings For financial and personal success, all factors, except the social dimension of CSR, are necessary conditions. Two configurations are sufficient for entrepreneurs to achieve financial success. The first configuration that is sufficient for personal success is the same as the first configuration for financial success. The second configuration for personal success is similar to the second configuration for financial success, except that it also includes financial success itself. Research limitations/implications Entrepreneurs should invest in CSR and seek to improve the quality of their relationships with their funders. Crowdfunding platforms should design and manage co-creation and feedback tools that are capable of providing deep knowledge of users’ opinions and concerns whilst generating value. The limitations of this study are that only the reward-based crowdfunding model was considered, and the data covered just two platforms. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by presenting empirical analysis of the factors that influence financial success and personal success in reward-based crowdfunding. It examines aspects that strictly refer to the content of the project and aspects that refer to the entrepreneur–funder relationship. Specifically, the roles of the four dimensions of CSR were considered. Moreover, the fsQCA method provides a fresh approach to research in this area.

The emergence of sustainable tourism has led to a new tourism concept called ecotourism. Ecotourism has the principle of environmental preservation and the local communities’ welfare produces a significant impact on indigenous people in the area. This is because the local community is involved in managing sustainable tourism. Women who are part of the community have the same opportunities as men in accessing opportunities from ecotourism activities. Based on empirical research results, tourism activities create alternative jobs for women to be more independent economically, including the fact that the participation of women in tourism activities has a positive impact on them socially. Empowering women is an important part of community welfare efforts in the scope of tourism, so that women’s empowerment is important in the tourism development process. This study aims to analyze the ongoing empowerment of women and what factors are the drivers and barriers to empowerment in Indrayanti Beach as one of the leading destinations in Gunungkidul Regency as seen from four dimensions (economic, social, political, and psychological). The mixed-method approach has been used in research. It was found that the level of women’s empowerment in Indrayanti Beach had shown a good enough score with the highest average score in the economic dimension, namely 7.64, where women economically have received a positive impact from Indrayanti Beach. The lowest average score is on the political dimension, with a value of 5.82. Women politically still do not have awareness if their role is important for the sustainability of Indrayanti Beach tourism. For the social dimension, the average is 6.81, and the psychological dimension on average is 7.47, where women feel socially and psychologically empowered quite well. The main driver of women’s empowerment is the opportunity and permission from their families to participate in tourism activities. The main obstacle to women’s empowerment is the low self-confidence due to skills that have not been maximized.

<p>Peatlands become one of the potential resources that could be developed as an area of rice farming to improve national food security. Agricultural cultivation in peatlands, if not managed well, will contribute to environmental destruction and land degradation, which will ultimately affect land productivity. As a first step in preparing the development of rice farming, research on the application of technology has conducted. This research included water management, which consists of:  without water management or control (A0), <em>macak-macak</em> water management (A1) and intermittent water management (A2). Moreover, research on pesticide application was also conducted which consist of: without pesticide application or control (P0), Paraquat herbicide application at the time of tillage (P1), Fenobucarb insecticide applications every week (P2), Fenobucarb insecticide applications every two weeks (P3), Difenoconazole fungicide applications every week (P4), Difenoconazole fungicide applications every two week (P5).  This study aims to determine the level of sustainability of rice farming in peatlands, and the dominant factors that influence by considering economic, social and environmental through a Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) approach. The analysis shows a quite sustainable level, with score for each dimension is 53.13 for the economic dimension, 69.49 for the ecological dimension and 61.79 for the social dimension. The dominant factors to be considered for the sustainability of rice farming in peatlands are changes in the level of decomposition of organic matter, farming purpose and outreach intensity.</p>

Increasing Demand

Inordinate municipal solid waste issues and ever increasing demand for electricity, the Thai government formulated the Power Development Plan focusing on supporting the use of renewable energy to generate electricity and using measures to promote the purchase of electricity from very small power producers. This support indubitably leads to the question as to whether Very Small Municipal Solid Waste Power Plants (VSMSWPPs) are sustainable or not. Thus, this study aims to develop a framework and key success factors for evaluating governance and sustainability of VSMSWPPs in Thailand. It consists of documentary research and interviews with professionals, policy makers, practitioners and power plant owners conducted to develop the framework and determine the key success factors. Subsequently, the framework and factors were assessed by 12 experts. The good governance and sustainability concepts were selected as a framework and used to construct key success factors to evaluate the performance of VSMSWPPs. The framework contains four dimensions and each dimension had key success factors as follows: (1) Governance dimension with 7 key success factors; (2) Economic dimension with 8 key success factors; (3) Social dimension with 5 key success factors; and (4) Environmental dimension with 7 key success factors: at total of 27 key success factors.

  La gestión del deporte contemporáneo gira en torno a la performance organizacional y su consecuencia en la performance deportiva. Se diseñó un estudio de casos, ex post facto, un análisis retrospectivo (2000-2019) de una unidad organizacional (Federación Española de Bádminton, FESBA) de naturaleza preferentemente cualitativa, que interactúa con predicciones estadísticas y análisis de las evoluciones temporales. El estudio contempla cinco dimensiones (Económica, Deportiva, Social, Organizativa y Difusión) y veinticinco variables. La dimensión social, económica, organización de competiciones nacionales, calidad de los resultados y difusión se muestran como indicadores claves (dimensiones palancas). La dimensión económica correlaciona con licencias de deportistas, número de clubes y competiciones nacionales organizadas (Rho=.964, .967 y .904 respectivamente). La dimensión organizativa tuvo una consecuencia directa en un aumento de las competiciones nacionales, consiguiendo un mayor interés por el seguimiento del bádminton en los canales de difusión (Rho=.838). Se han apreciado crecimientos estables en la dimensión social. Es a partir de 2014 cuando se acentúa esta evolución, coincidiendo con una estrategia audiovisual por parte de FESBA y una proyección de la figura de Carolina Marín. Los recursos de la FESBA han permitido obtener un mayor número de practicantes generando más licencias escolares, en un sistema de competiciones nacionales, con un incremento de la variable calidad de resultados, simultáneamente con un mayor número de licencias federadas y clubes. Esta afirmación interactúa con el efecto de difusión en TV y medios. Se demuestra la sincronía entre la evolución de los datos analizados y el desempeño materializado en los distintos programas desarrollados por FESBA.  Abstract. The management of contemporary sports is based on organizational performance and its consequence in sports performance. An ex post facto case study was designed, a retrospective analysis (2000-2019) of an organizational unit (Spanish Badminton Federation, FESBA) of apreferably qualitative nature, which interacts with statistical predictions and analysis of temporal evolutions. The study includes five dimensions (Economic, Sports, Social, Organizational and Dissemination) and twenty-five variables. The social and economic dimensions, the organization of national competitions, the quality of the results and the dissemination are shown as key indicators (leverage dimensions). The economic dimension correlates with sportsman's licenses, number of clubs and organized national competitions (Rho = .964, .967 and .904 respectively). The organizational dimension had a direct consequence in anncrease in national competitions, achieving a greater interest in broadcast channels (Rho = .838). Stable growth has been observed in the social dimension. It is from 2014 when this evolution is accentuated, coinciding with an audiovisual strategy by FESBA and a projection of the figure of Carolina Marín. The resources of the FESBA have made it possible to obtain a greater number of practitioners generating more school licenses, in a system of national competitions, with an increase in the variable quality of results, simultaneously with a greater number of official licenses and clubs. This statement interacts with the broadcast effect on TV and the media. The synchrony between the evolution of the data analyzed and the performance materialized in the different programs developed by FESBA is demonstrated.

Cities play an important role in the development of economies, generating wealth and well-being for citizens, providing better, energy efficient and sustainable services and giving residents their rightful place as the cornerstone of city management. Spain has a quite unique example of a smart city, Vitoria-Gasteiz. This is an emblematic city for Europe, which awarded this municipality the title of European Green Capital 2012. This paper seeks to analyse the best sustainable practices through a case study based on content analysis of this city's website. In the social dimension, the results highlight the promotion of resident participation through municipal services, to ensure public debate and transparency. In the environmental dimension, the city has a sustainable mobility plan that aims to reverse the trend towards an increased use of private vehicles by promoting the use of buses, trams and bicycles. Finally, in the economic dimension, the findings underscore the city's economic rigour, transparency in management and economic recovery.
