“…With regard to energy retrofit, the province of Bozen can be characterized as a highly regulated territorial system revolving around the knowledge and cultural leadership developed by the provincial energy certification agency, Casaclima, by many considered the most relevant national initiative in environmentally sustainable building (Marrone, 2017). Since 2014 Casaclima has been the Agency for energy and climate issues for the Province of Bozen, further embedding its expertise in the territorial institutional system.…”

“…The Casaclima certification distinguishes itself from other certifications because it is based upon a strict calculation protocol and a control over the whole process of building -from the project to the building site to the finished building (Marrone, 2017). Moreover, it stands out for the particular attention paid to the intervention on the entire building envelope, aimed at pursuing the goal of energy efficiency through the improvement of global thermal insulation.…”

“…To address this issue, the industry is shifting toward using renewable energy technologies and energy-efficient practices (Mohanty and Moreira, 2014), nevertheless, Hilty (2011) warns that under current economic conditions, the use of ICTs may not lead to dematerialization and could have negative environmental consequences. Moreover, the strong connection between sustainability and digital technologies is highlighted by several scholars who emphasise how the ICT industry has the potential to have a significant indirect impact on global sustainability (Marrone and Raimo, 2021), including energy consumption, data privacy and security, and governance and transparency (Berawi, 2020). ICT companies should consider societal factors such as workplace conditions, diversity, employee engagement, a sense of belonging, heightened vigilance towards human rights violations by ICT service providers, and accidental disclosure of consumers' personal information, with a focus on addressing harmful stereotypes and fostering digital confidence among women (Grishunin et al, 2022).…”

Our days are characterized by two intertwined phenomena, digital technologies and sustainability concerns, which have significantly changed our lives. The growing attention of stakeholders on sustainability has resulted in a greater demand for transparency about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, but, although the significance of ESG disclosure is widely acknowledged by businesses, the extent of ESG disclosure varies considerably between firms. This study, using agency theory as the theoretical basis, aims to examine the effect of various characteristics of boards of directors, such as gender diversity, independence, size, average age, frequency of meetings, tenure, and membership in high-tech industries, on the level of ESG disclosure. The empirical analysis is conducted using an OLS regression model on a cross-sectional sample of 863 firms. The findings show that board characteristics such as gender diversity, independence, and size, as well as membership in the high-tech sector, positively impact the level of ESG disclosure. Surprisingly, board members' average age positively influences ESG disclosure level, whereas board tenure has a negative influence. This study offers substantial implications for policymakers, regulators, and organizations committed to promoting sustainability and social responsibility.

Disastrous events raise issues about the territories and the affected population's future. Providing adequate housing for displaced people is both a challenge and a crucial point for any post-disaster policy. In this paper we will focus on the effects of long-term permanent housing solutions on displaced people. Anticipated data consist of the research we have conducted previously on the emergency housing solutions destined for displaced people from the Central Italy earthquake of 2016 who could not leave the territory. In our paper, we will briefly introduce the methodology and first results of our ongoing research, which extends the one we conducted in the earthquake area. Through ethnographic methodological tools and some interviews with actors involved in the emergency process, our main objective is to explore how the models of social interaction are reproduced and transformed in SAE areas. Small and medium-sized villages consist of single-family and earthquake-resistant houses, which will offer housing to the displaced population until the end of the reconstruction. We look forward to understanding how the brand new forms of settlement and social aggregation will affect the reconfiguration of social bonds. The new housing solutions push people to experience more frequent face-to-face interaction and with the challenge of community recovery. Then, the research intends to investigate whether, and how, the community recovery can lead to the formation of social capital and how it can be configured as a significant element capable of affecting the adaptive abilities, therefore resilient, of individuals, families and local community. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKBeyond the breaking of normal social systems, the destruction of places and, sometimes, of human lives, disasters often involve the loss of houses. As a place of refuge and protection, the house must be a central point in the action of governments that, following a disaster, are required to provide a rapid and effective response to this need. Major international agencies dealing with emergency management, such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-HABITAT) or the International Federation of Red Cross and the Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) consider the right to post-disaster accommodation related to the more general right of individuals to adequate housing, as enshrined in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or in Article 11 of the International Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) [5]. Despite its recognized centrality, the topic of housing has become an integral part of disaster research only very recently.Quarantelli [6], [7] identifies four typologies of post-disaster accommodation. The first one is emergency sheltering, i.e. those places where displaced people find shelter for a short time, usually for a few hours after the disaster. These are often spontaneous solutions, arising from immediate needs, and can include schools, gyms, churches, airpo...
