In the age of technological innovation, various types of data are available with the advance of information technologies, and data is seen as one of the most valuable commodities in managing automation systems [13, 68]. In this sense, financial markets and technological evolution have become related to every human activity in the past few decades. Big data technology has become an integral part of the financial services industry and will continue to drive future innovation [12]. Financial innovations are also considered the fastest emerging issues in financial services. More specifically, they cover a variety of financial businesses such as online peer-to-peer lending, crowd-funding platforms, SME finance, wealth management and asset management platforms, trading management, crypto-currency, money/remittance transfer, mobile payments platforms, and so on. All of these services create thousands of pieces of data every day. Therefore,

“…For example, CSR contributions were remarkable and then helped vulnerable people to survive in society after various natural disasters and human failures ensued around the world such as the 2004 Asian Tsunami (Chong, 2009;Fernando, 2010), the 2005 Hurricane Katrina in the United States (Johnson et al, 2011;M. Zhao et al, 2015), the 2006 Central Java Earthquake in Indonesia (Hendarto, 2009), the 2008 Hurricane Ike in the United States (Wang, 2009), the Weather Damaged Crop in 2008 in the United States (Johnson et al, 2011), the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China (M.

Over the past few months, first China, and now the whole world has been grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in businesses, employees, customers, communities, and each other. The people worldwide are strongly committed to working together and supporting each other in every way possible during this critical period filled with fear and uncertainty. Grounded on stakeholder theory and corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature, the study attempts to explore business responses to the COVID-19 pandemic to support its vital stakeholders such as employees, customers, communities, and society as a whole through CSR initiatives. The study based on the contemporary phenomenon considered multi-items as data sources such as press releases, newsletters, and letters to shareholders, which were retrieved from the top 25 (the sample) corporations of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens-2019 (the population) in the United States’ respective websites on the internet. The outcomes of this research report that sampled companies show respect to their employees and focus on stewardship relations between corporations and customers and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will have a significant theoretical application and practical implication on business duty to society and future research on CSR as a strong arm to deal with a critical disaster like the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Several studies have also determined various barriers to sustainable boiler operation, which are relevant in the context of the Bangladeshi apparel industry. For instance, Hasan et al [40] identified boiler explosions as a significant cause of industrial fire in apparel factories. A boiler explosion due to unsafe operation can cause fire and loss of life, hampering social and economic sustainability.…”

et al. 2023

The efficiency with which conventional boilers perform, in terms of sustainability, is affected by a variety of factors. Unsustainable boiler operating practices are still surprisingly frequent in developing countries, resulting in environmental liabilities and catastrophic accidents. It is a serious problem in developing countries like Bangladesh, where boilers are utilized extensively in the apparel manufacturing sector. However, no research has yet examined the challenges or barriers associated with sustainable boiler operation in the apparel manufacturing sector. This study, thereby, utilizes an integrated MCDM approach, combining the fuzzy theory and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method, to identify, prioritize, and explore the relations among the barriers to sustainable boiler operation in the apparel manufacturing industry, from an emerging economy perspective. The barriers were initially identified from the literature and a visual survey of 127 factories. After expert validation, thirteen barriers were finally selected to be analyzed utilizing the fuzzy DEMATEL method. The study findings revealed that ’Absence of water treatment facilities’, ’Fossil fuel burning and GHG emissions’, and ’Excessive consumption of groundwater’ are the three most prominent barriers to sustainable boiler operation. The cause-effect relations among the barriers suggest that ’Inadequate compliance with safety and hazard regulations’ is the most influential and ’Fossil fuel burning and GHG emissions’ is the most influenced barrier. This study is expected to guide the managers and policymakers of the apparel manufacturing sector in successfully overcoming the barriers to sustainable boiler operation, thus mitigating the operational hazards and achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
