The growing interest of companies, especially multinationals, large companies and national conglomerates, to show better environmental and social performance, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility policy; it is often reflected in their management structures and investment policies. In a review of different studies and surveys on the environmental performance of the business sector in five Latin American countries, it was possible to observe that companies make environmental investments mainly for three reasons: to comply with environmental and social regulations and standards, to improve their image in front of the community and to access other markets. The three reasons coincide with the same ones that companies give when asked why they have a Social Responsibility policy. In this context, this scientific contribution focuses on a bibliometric and bibliographic analysis of publications related to social responsibility in terms of economic sustainability.
The aim of this research is to show a bibliometric study of research related to the term Social Responsibility from different themes, only considering scientific contributions socialized in the Scopus database. To achieve this objective, a search is carried out in the aforementioned database, under the search criteria: "social responsibility" in the title, abstract and keywords of publications such as scientific articles, review articles, conference documents and books. The information detected is processed by the bibliometric tools of the Scopus database itself and is also analyzed with the VOSviewer software. Using this tool, text mining is performed on the information detected under the previously declared search criteria. The main results of this research focus on the following points: 1) Bibliometric analysis of the scientific contributions detected. 2) Discussion of the main research trends in the Social Responsibility theme, through the most cited contributions.
The aim of this scientific contribution is to show the ways in which efficient energy management influences the competitiveness of companies in the textile industry. To achieve this objective, the present investigation carries out a bibliographic review of the scientific contributions socialized by the Scopus database, and the information detected in the databases of the International Energy Agency (IEA) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) was analyzed in Excel spreadsheets. In this scientific contribution, the following topics of results are found: 1) Bibliometric analysis of published research related to Energy efficiency in the competitiveness of the textile industry. 2) Energy use in the textile industry and breakdown of energy use by end use. 3) Opportunities to improve energy efficiency in the textile industry. There are several options for implementing efficient energy management in textile plants, many of which are profitable. However, even cost-effective options are often not implemented in textile mills mainly due to limited information on how to implement energy efficiency measures, especially given that most textile mills are classified as small and medium-sized enterprises. Furthermore, it is a reality that these particular plants have limited resources to acquire this information. This fact means that technical knowledge on energy efficiency technologies and practices must be prepared and disseminated among textile plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
