“…The sustainability subject is a reality and a necessity for everyone in all areas, as environmental aggressions that cause climate change keep on growing, and due to the necessity to take measures to overcome such situations (Faraz et al, 2021; Labuschagne et al, 2005; Lee et al, 2013). The application of sustainability in management has been considered of great importance for the success of the business, giving rise to a series of studies whose have identified positive correlations between sustainability, the company's success and company's image (Hansen et al, 2009; Teixeira et al, 2021; Teixeira et al, 2022). This reason, combined with the goals set by the United Nations (Sustainable Development Goals (2015)); Diaz‐Sarachaga, 2021), can explain the reason why sustainability and sustainable development have become the focus for many companies.…”

Companies face new challenges needing to find ways to stand out from the competitors. All companies face new projects, which need to be managed assertively and faster, launching new products on the market ahead of competitors. This strategy requires enormous dexterity and agility within teams, which are increasingly multifaceted, multidisciplinary, and multifunctional. However, teams need to conciliate appar-

“…There are some limitations in using carbon emission indicators directly as explained variables for research because the result does not reflect the proper balance between economic development and the environment. Similar to the contribution that lean technologies can make to sustainable development, the technological changes brought about by the digital economy should also aim to achieve sustainable development [ 16 , 17 ]. Sustainable development theories emphasize promoting economic development without exceeding the carrying capacity of the earth, to ensure ecological sustainability [ 18 ].…”

The digital economy plays a dual role in the process of global carbon emissions decoupling; for this reason, its overall impact direction and mechanism are worth discussing. This paper attempts to answer the question of the role of the digital economy, based on a review of the existing literature. By constructing a panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model, this paper empirically tests the effect of the digital economy on carbon emissions decoupling, based on panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2019. In order to study the impact mechanism of the digital economy on carbon emissions decoupling, the mediating effect of industrial structure optimization is analyzed through a mediating effect model; the moderating effect is also explored by analyzing the network centrality characteristics of the digital economy. The core-periphery analysis method is adopted to group the samples to test the impact heterogeneity of the digital economy on carbon emissions decoupling. Based on this empirical analysis, the following conclusions are drawn. First, the digital economy has a promoting effect on carbon emissions decoupling, but this effect gradually weakens with the development of the digital economy. Second, the digital economy can promote carbon emissions decoupling through industrial structure optimization, and network centrality has a positive moderating effect on this mechanism. Third, heterogeneity exists in the promoting effect of the digital economy on carbon emissions decoupling, which is reflected in the different intensities of the promotion effect between the core nodes and the peripheral nodes in the network; the attenuation range of the promotion effect is also different when the regime switches.

The balanced development and management of sustainability demands the alignment of Corporate Sustainability (CS) strategy with management systems so that sustainability can be effectively inserted into all organizational levels and thus promote stakeholder engagement. Therefore, to support the development of CS, the structure, processes, indicators, and instructions of Integrated Management System (IMS) can be used. This study aims to propose guidelines for the alignment of CS and IMS, based on the cross analysis of seven case studies. This objective was achieved through the identification of elements that can positively or negatively impact the alignment of CS with the IMS, which served as the basis for proposing the guidelines to build a bridge for CS development from the IMS. This work brought as a scientific contribution the upgrade of the block of knowledge on the contributions between IMS and CS, bringing some validation of knowledge from scientific articles in the real context of industrial companies, and additions and refinements to the state of the art on the subject. In addition, the applied contribution of the results stands out, which will provide managers with a framework to intervene in organizations with structural modifications that will make them greener, socially appropriate and more profitable, thus promoting the achievement of the global goals of sustainable development proposed in Agenda 2030.
