“…Educator professional training that builds the capacities of educators to initiate education for the SDGs (UNESCO, 2020) is therefore needed to translate curricular guidelines into usable pedagogies. The need for educator training in social and environmental matters has been highlighted as a gap in the provision of skills for the fourth industrial revolution to learners in a study of public and private Technical Education Institutions (Srivastava et al, 2022). It would make sense to train the educators of every educational sector on how to use the framework we developed to define sustainability visions around the SDGs and select competences.…”

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is hypothesized to enable the transition to a sustainable future as envisioned by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To demonstrate the potential of ESD to facilitate such a transition, research was carried out between 2018 and 2020, using a systems thinking approach to enable educational communities develop their own visions around the SDGs through a participatory process of localization of sustainability goals and targets and an alignment with formal educational outcomes. Three case studies implemented in a university and two schools in the UK were evaluated as to their capacity to facilitate these transitions through the development of sustainability competences in their learners. Findings from the application of the systemic framework for transitions toward the SDGs through ESD and assessment tools for sustainability competence attainment in learners are discussed in depth. Important barriers and enablers of the process are identified, as well as leverage points to increase the effectiveness of interventions. This work aims to inform education practitioners and community stakeholders about the potential of ESD and practices they can adapt to their own needs and circumstances.

“…Low-carbon behavior is different from the behavioral patterns of transport infrastructure in the past, and the promotion of low-carbon behavior requires capital investment and resources, so market feedback is particularly important. Deepak Kumar Srivastava et al highlight the fact that socioeconomic factors in the workplace are essential for the successful adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies [ 40 ]. If there is a general market preference for low carbon behavior, there will be more scope for sustainable low carbon operation and the payback period will be shorter; conversely, if the market preference is not favorable, this will mean that it will be more difficult to pay back the investment and companies will need to change their operating strategies quickly.…”

Excellence in corporate culture is the key to achieving sustainable business development. Sustainability can be a source of success, innovation and profitability for a company, driving the achievement of low-carbon goals for transport infrastructure enterprises. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between corporate culture and corporate sustainability from the perspective of transport infrastructure enterprises, and to identify which corporate culture factors may have an impact on the sustainable low carbon development of transport infrastructure enterprises. To achieve this, we constructed a structural equation model based on 351 cases in Hunan Province and examined the relationship between corporate culture and sustainable low-carbon development using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings suggest that corporate values and corporate culture management capabilities play an important role in promoting sustainable development of transport infrastructure enterprises at the economic and low-carbon levels.

“…In particular, one of the purposes of the supply chain is to manage the processes and the transactions between buyers and suppliers, optimizing costs and times but at the same time guaranteeing high quality of the service and the products supplied (Mukhuty et al 2022 ). This scenario includes the new Industry 4.0 plans that are based on the connection among new technologies automating different procedures in order to optimize manufacturing and logistics processes of each company in the ecosystem (Li et al 2021a ; Srivastava et al 2022 ). Indeed, the effective and efficient supply chain management improves the coordination between supply and demand by reducing costs (Ketokivi and Mahoney 2020 ).…”

Blockchain as enabling factor for implementing RFID and IoT technologies in VMI: a simulation on the Parmigiano Reggiano supply chain

et al. 2022

Blockchain has recently been associated to Supply Chain Management to solve several problems and change operations management processes. The study proposes to analyse three different scenarios of the Parmigiano Reggiano supply chain considering blockchain technology as an enabler for the use of other technologies such as RFID and the Internet of Things (IoT) and for the exploitation of the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) strategy. The study is based on the evaluation of three agent-based simulation scenarios, a traditional "as is" scenario, a second "to be" scenario implementing emerging technologies including blockchain, and a third “to be” scenario that combines the second one with the VMI optimization strategy. The results show how the combined adoption of these technologies improves the procurement process and customer satisfaction. Findings highlight the impacts that the different scenarios have on the supply chain operations in a quantitative way and allows to evaluate the changes in supply chain processes. By employing emerging technologies, order management activities are more automated and time to order and lead time order preparation are reduced. However, to achieve these performances, other data capture tools such as RFID and IoT are needed. Finally, the introduction of the VMI strategy, when enabled by blockchain technology, improves the procurement performances and significantly reduces unfilled orders.
