“…Conceptual work in terms of these ethics may not directly translate into new concepts, methods, and models for a sustainable economy. However, they provide an essential basis for an ethics-based theory of sustainable economics (Becker, 2023).…”

“…It is a concept that allows the company to have a sort of moral contract that governs relationships within the company and with its stakeholders. However, the development of such a broad and integrative new ethical foundation requires going beyond traditional ethics to move toward the ethics of sustainability (Becker, 2023). A sustainable economy requires a new, broader ethical foundation that includes the moral status and wellbeing of nature, people, and future generations (El Amri et al, 2020a; 2020b).…”

“…The systematic study of standards, values, goodness, and justice is sometimes called ethics. Current applied ethics domains generally concentrate on viewpoints like the relationship between humans and nature, global interactions, or relationships with future generations (Becker, 2023). The company is outlining the guidelines intended to permit the integration of a stance that causes the company to take on additional social or environmental duties due to the State's disengagement from the business, demonstrating its growing concern for ethics.…”

The article contains the results of the analysis of the world’s scientific achievements and theoretical generalizations regarding the functions of ethics in business organizations, the range of its application in management, and its role and place in ensuring the effectiveness of the company’s economic activity. This study considers ethics not as an obstacle to business development that requires additional resources but as a relationship based on trust and cooperation that determines the firm’s strategy and competitive advantages. The article summarizes approaches to integrating ethics into management practice and considers the taxonomy of management ethics in organizations. Using the example of a family business, the article identifies general mechanisms for reconciling ethical principles and economic efficiency of a company so that care about ethical responsibility has a favorable impact on fulfilling the main mission – making a profit. The ethical practices of family and non-family businesses are compared. Although family businesses do not always have a formal code of ethics, they are more likely to model ethical behaviour through their actions; family values and their transmission from generation to generation play a significant role in shaping ethical practices in this business; family businesses become more involved in social activities and feel responsible to the community; their image and reputation are an absolute priority. Based on the theory of legitimacy, the article examines the concept of socio-emotional wealth using the example of the family business, which includes values related to emotions and non-financial aspects of business that meet the emotional needs of the family (identity, ability to influence the family and perpetuate the family dynasty). The article considers ethics an integral element of a company’s social capital. It summarizes the approaches and stages of ethical policy formation, through which ethical standards are specified and implemented through formal and informal rules and procedures established by individuals and organizations. While forming an ethical policy, it is important to start from the components of the company’s context (culture, values, internal regulations), choose a business model that is consistent with values and ethical principles, and formalize the procedures for the transition from individual ethical behaviour of managers (loyalty, honesty, ethics, fidelity) to the creation of collective ethics (dissemination of these values within the company). The article provides recommendations for the successful integration of ethical policy: coordination between ethics and corporate image, between ethics and company performance, and coordination of mechanisms for formalizing ethics and corporate culture.

“…Työn tekemisen tavan kautta määrittyvä vastuullisuus ei kuitenkaan kerro tyhjentävästi, tapahtuuko toiminta yhden planeetan rajat huomioon ottaen ja globaalilla tasolla sosiaalisesti oikeudenmukaisesti. Kestävä talous ja työelämä edellyttävät uudenlaista eettistä perustaa, joka irrottautuu kapeasta hyötyyn, tehokkuuteen ja kasvuun pohjautuvasta hyvinvointiajattelusta ja ottaa systemaattisesti huomioon luonnon, maailman ihmisten ja tulevaisuuden elämän tarpeet (Becker 2023). Sosioekologisen maailmankuvan läpi katsottuna tulevaisuuden vastuullisuuden keskiössä ei siten ole enää se, miten jokin asia tuotetaan, vaan se, mitä asioita tuotetaan.…”

Sosiaalipedagogiikka on tieteenala ja käytäntö, jolle on ominaista täyden ihmisyyden tavoittelu sosiaalisessa todellisuudessa. Sen tehtävänä on perinteisesti ollut yksilön ja yhteiskunnan välisen suhteen rakentaminen. Nykyaikana sosiaaliset kysymykset kietoutuvat yhä enemmän yhteen ekologisten ongelmien kanssa. Tässä katsauksessa kiinnostuksen kohteenamme on sosiaalipedagogiikan planetaarinen tulkinta, jonka mukaan ihmiset, yhteisöt ja yhteiskunnat ymmärretään biosfäärin alajärjestelmiksi. Planetaarisen sosiaalipedagogiikan teoria perustuu sosioekologiseen maailmankuvaan, jossa ihmisen tilallinen, ajallinen ja eettinen maailmassa oleminen tuodaan yhteistarkasteluun transformatiivisen oppimisen viitekehyksessä. Näin rakentuvaa pedagogiikkaa voidaan soveltaa erilaisiin oppimisprosesseihin formaalissa, nonformaalissa ja informaalissa kontekstissa. Sovellamme tässä katsauksessa planetaarisen sosiaalipedagogiikan teoriaa työn ja ammatillisen osaamisen kontekstiin. Tulkintamme mukaan yhteiskuntaa uudistava työ ja ammatillinen osaaminen perustuvat systeemiseen ymmärrykseen, kestävän tulevaisuuden rakentamiseen ja planetaarisen hyvinvoinnin edistämiseen.

“…The modern world faces environmental problems and anthropogenic climate change, forcing global institutions and local governments to develop climate change adaptation and mitigation policies [1][2][3]. In the near future, these current policies may transform the actions of people in a local territory to meet their needs [4,5], and a set of these actions can be defined as social practices [6]. However, it is still unclear whether social practices are becoming more environmentally friendly, and how they could be changed to overcome the environmental crisis.…”

Green practices are social practices that aim to harmonize the relations between people and the natural environment. They may involve minimizing the use of resources and the generation of waste and emissions. Detecting green practices in social media posts helps to understand which green practices are currently common and to develop recommendations on the scaling of green practices to reduce environmental problems. This paper describes GreenRu, a novel Russian social media dataset for detecting the mentions of green practices related to waste management. It has a sentence-level markup and consists of 1326 posts collected in Russian online communities. The total number of mentions of green waste practices is 3765. The paper assessed the effectiveness of the multi-label and one-versus-rest BERT-based models for detecting the mentions of green practices in social media posts and compared several data augmentation methods in terms of both classification metrics and human evaluation. To augment the dataset, a backtranslation method and generative language models, such as RuGPT, RuT5, and ChatGPT, were used in this study. The results enable researchers to monitor the green waste practices on social networks and develop environmental policies. Additionally, GreenRu can support machine learning models to analyze social media content, assess the prevalence and effectiveness of green waste practices, and identify ways to expand them.
