Abstract:

Today, the dynamic development of the world economy leads to an aggravation of the ecological situation. Climate change, water shortage, soil erosion, genetic and electromagnetic pollution and so lead to the fact that countries and the international community have to find new ways to reduce ekodestruktyvnoho human impact on nature. In this regard, each state independently develops methods for greening business.

Abstract:

For almost 40 years researchers have been trying to identify the relationship between corporate environmental and corporate economic performance. Neither theoretical debate nor empirical studies investigating the relationship show conclusive results. Within a field research seminar at Technische Universität Dresden, nine students conducted a meta-analysis of 124 studies to assess different aspects of the relationship between corporate economic and corporate environmental performance. In the first part of our paper, we analyze and present the theoretical background based on a review of literatu

The mitigation of supply chain uncertainty within transport operations can minimise the risk of disruptions in the delivery process, so transport resources can be utilised in the most efficient and least polluting manner. The overall aim of this thesis is to link the uncertainties originating within the supply chain and externally with the economic and environmental performance of road freight transport operations and also to identify potential mitigation tools and/or approaches to minimise their effects.

Abstract:

We extend the dual sourcing model based on the newsvendor framework by considering the environmental impact of transport. In our context, dual sourcing means that a company, e.g. a retailer, uses an offshore and an onshore supplier. We include environmental regulations for transport in the model. Firstly, emission taxes for the transport from the offshore source are considered. It can be shown that with increasing emissions taxes the company sources less from offshore. This improves the environmental performance but the economic performance (expected profit) is severely harmed. Secondly,

The continued global reliance on fossil fuels with impact on resource depletion, human health, atmospheric pollution and environmental degradation has necessitated a global drive to integrate renewable fuels such as biodiesels.

Their use in energy generation could diversify the world’s energy mix, reduce fossil fuel dependence, reduce emissions and energy cost to bring about other economic benefits, especially for developing economies and rural communities with lac

The recent history of energy systems is succinctly summarized as building enough energy extraction, conversion, and delivery infrastructure to meet growing energy demand. Among the benefits of this energy systems framework, we observe that access to modern energy services helps to improve peoples’ standards of living and energy consumption has been positively correlated with gross domestic product. Among the draw backs of focusing solely on the supply side of energy extraction, conversion, delivery, and consumption are concerns regarding inefficient energy consumption (i.e. over-consumption of

Burning fossil fuels contributes largely to the release of CO2 emissions, which CO2 accounted for 84% of the total UK greenhouse emissions in 2009.

Renewable energy is the production of energy using fuels that are produced and sourced sustainably.

In the current energy conjunction, with an expected growth of energy consumption in a context of fossil fuel depletion, more focus is being placed on renewable energy sources (RES) for electricity generation.

Abstract:

Les opérateurs économiques sont confrontés à un fort accroissement de la concurrence combiné à des préoccupations sociales et environnementales désormais devenues indispensables. De ce constat, il semble que la performance qu’elle soit de type économique, social ou environnemental, soit devenue une valeur intrinsèque qui s’intègre ponctuellement à des obligations, ou engendre des obligations. Elle sera parfois extérieure au contrat et imposée par le droit lui-même. En ce sens, le législateur impose que la rémunération de certains dirigeants de sociétés soit obligatoirement indexée sur des crit

Abstract:

The world has seen unparalleled pressure put on the public sector to improve the speed and quality of service delivery, whilst simultaneously employing measures to cut the costs. South Africa and the Eastern Cape have not been immune to this as there have been complaints and demonstrations from various national and provincial stakeholders demanding more and improved services. The Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEDEAT) in particular has employed the services of public entities in its quest to realise government’s socio-economic developmental objectives an

Abstract:

Ce travail de thèse a pour objectif d’examiner les déterminants de l’éco-innovation et les barrières qui lui font obstacle ainsi que d’évaluer son impact sur la performance environnementale, sur la performance économique en termes de croissance et de rentabilité et sur la réputation des entreprises. La démarche adoptée comporte deux parties ; la première présente l’état de l’art du phénomène de l’éco-innovation accompagné de la présentation des spécificités de la Tunisie, qui est notre terrain d’investigation alors que la seconde, d’ordre empirique, comporte une enquête réalisée auprès de 159

Abstract:

Backup diesel generator (DG) systems continue to be a heavily polluting and costly solution for institutions with unreliable grid connections. These systems slow economic growth and accelerate climate change. Photovoltaic (PV), energy storage (ES), grid connected, DG – Hybrid Energy Systems (HESs) or, PV-HESs, can alleviate overwhelming costs and harmful emissions incurred from traditional back-up DG systems and improve the reliability of power supply. However, from project conception to end of lifetime, PV-HESs face significant barriers of uncertainty and variable operating conditions. The fi

Abstract:

Mestrado em Gestão e Estratégia Industrial<br>Com o aumento da concorrência e pressão para uma maior sustentabilidade ambiental é cada vez mais importante recorrer a práticas internas de forma a obter reconhecimento no mercado e uma performance mais sustentável. O presente estudo pretende analisar a relação entre as práticas internas de sustentabilidade e a performance sustentável, medida de acordo com as três dimensões do modelo de Triple bottom line (TBL), a performance ambiental, económica e social. Adicionalmente, o estudo avalia como é que a certificação pela norma ISO 14001 afeta estas r

Abstract:

Os princípios e as práticas de Produção Enxuta e de Produção mais Limpa contribuem para a geração de valores com perspectivas diferentes. São valores focados respectivamente em sustentabilidade econômica e em sustentabilidade ambiental que, alcançados complementarmente podem contribuir para a satisfação dos stakeholders de forma mais sustentável. Estudos apresentam compatibilidades entre a Produção Enxuta e as diferentes abordagens de Sustentabilidade Ambiental, contudo, poucas pesquisas exploram empiricamente as relações entre estes constructos, mostrando uma lacuna a ser preenchida no meio a
