This study delves into Jaipur Rugs' innovative "MANCHAHA" initiative, showcasing its impact on sustainable development goals (SDGs) through a qualitative case study approach. By engaging underprivileged weavers and artisans in remote areas and facilitating their access to global markets, Jaipur Rugs empowers marginalised communities. The "MANCHAHA" collection creatively repurposes waste yarn into unique carpets, aligning with sustainability objectives and promoting weavers' talents. Despite initial challenges, the initiative has garnered global recognition and positively impacted SDGs such as Responsible Consumption, Gender Equality, and Poverty Reduction. The study underscores Jaipur Rugs' model of merging traditional techniques with innovation to drive societal advancement and sustainability. Theoretical implications highlight stakeholder engagement, while practical implications emphasise inclusive value chains and corporate social responsibility in achieving SDGs through innovative and sustainable practices.

Aim: In this paper we demonstrate an outline strategy for Indonesia to move its electrical generation from fossil fuels to renewable sources in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions whilst avoiding excessive costs. The modelling here is based on assumed present fossil fuel generating plants.Design / Research methods: We have modelled a representative electrical generation system based on burning coal, oil and gas, and by replacing retiring stations with photovoltaic cells and wind turbines we have considered the cost and carbon dioxide implications over a 30 year period. Additionally the modelling is extended to increasing the Indonesian installed electrical capacity.Conclusions / findings: The results show that Indonesia could meet its carbon dioxide emission reduction targets in an economic way by a phased strategy of introducing renewable energy sources. These results are preliminary and will be refined in a future article where we will include the detail of actual existing power stations, with their capacity and anticipated end of life date.Originality / values of the article: There has been, and continues to be, a general resistance to the adoption of renewable energy. This paper shows the economic benefit that accompanies carbon dioxide reduction thus presents a new aspect to the consideration of carbon reduction, Implications of the research:Indonesia faces difficulties in providing electricity whilst meeting its climate change obligations. This research points to a viable economic strategy which may not only meet those obligations, but actually increase electrical provision across the country.Key words: Sustainable development, climate change, carbon emissions, renewable energy JEL: C51,L94,Q01,Q42 Doi:

This study aims to investigate the effects of sustainable supply chain management strategies of the companies on mitigation of risk damages and long-term resilience through the evaluation of stock abnormal returns of companies listed on the stock markets based on the evidence from the context of COVID-19 pandemic. The empirical analysis was conducted for 63 companies listed on Vietnamese stock market, where plays as an example for emerging stock markets. The data were collected from the quarterly official financial statements of 63 companies between January 2020 and March 2023. Various regression models, including Ordinary Least Squares, Fixed Effects Model, Random Effects Model, and Generalized Least Squares were explored. Found results indicated that the implementing sustainable supply chain management strategies might help to mitigate the negative impact on stock price volatility during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has not been the critical tool to improve the companies’ resilience ability in post pandemic yet.

Despite the fact that forest tourism is becoming more and more popular every year, we still know little about the real participant numbers, apart from local estimates. However, 30-31 million visitor days were estimated in the forests managed by Pilisi Parkerdő Ltd. in 2020. (Pilisi Parkerdő Ltd., 2020), but temporal and spatial distribution is missing. We conducted our research based on live visitor counts in Bakony Mountains with the aim of collecting data for the forest tourism service providers. With the results, it becomes possible for the service provider to determine development directions that meet the needs, as well as to introduce sustainable visitor management in the future. On the demand (visitor) side, targeted and demand-oriented developments increase the experience factor of the time spent in the forest. On the supply (service provider) side, knowing the motivations makes the performance of public welfare tasks more efficient, which directly contributes to improving the sector’s image.
