“…The second study [66] examined the business model's recycling role and ESG links using a case study of a Catalan bicentennial company, a leader in copper recycling technology. Based on sustainability reporting and interviews, an analysis of the business model was conducted and the ESG performance was observed from 2015-2018.…”

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration as a socially responsible investment (SRI) from a financial perspective has been discussed extensively. However, few studies discuss its impact on firms’ internal operations from the perspective of sustainable development (SD). This study aims to examine the integration of ESG into the currently prevailing business model. Twenty-nine studies were systematically reviewed. Our analysis used an input–process–output model to identify the integration process and the outcomes. The findings show that only two papers explain the implementation steps or transition process of ESG integration, while 27 papers discuss ESG integration as an outcome, including integration behaviors, advantages, practices, and critical views. Our research aims to highlight that firms adopt ESG as a response to pressure from financial markets rather than as a serious effort to integrate sustainability into their core operations. We state the need for more research into the integration process to motivate firms to reform their business models, foster sustainability, and enhance financial performance.

“…As Stahel has noted [3], CE focuses on the optimization of utilization and exploits resource efficiency in addition to leveraging sufficiency and prevention options in order to gain financial advantages and achieve higher levels of competitiveness. However, in order to maintain competitiveness, the presence of barriers forces the implementation of circularity to be gradual and combine both linear and circular models [4]. Moreover, the need to address material flow complexities (such as demand variations or company appearance and disappearance) and dependencies (decisions taken both now and in the future) limits the availability of practical options for optimizing material cycles in the economy [5].…”

Implementation of Circular Economy Technologies: An Empirical Study of Slovak and Slovenian Manufacturing Companies

2021

Circular Economy (CE) practices and technologies are essential for increasing sustainability performance in manufacturing. Due to the increasing number of environmental regulations and growing public awareness of environmental issues, especially in the EU, CE is increasingly seen as a valuable factor in improving competitiveness. Therefore, there is a need for a fuller understanding of the ways in which CE technologies can be implemented into the manufacturing industries. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the identification of the characteristics of manufacturing companies and their perceptions of the barriers to the adoption of CE technologies. This survey-based study of 241 manufacturing companies (comprising a sub-sample of Slovak and Slovenian companies from the more extensive European Manufacturing Survey) uses a series of statistical tests to examine the implementation of three CE technologies. The results show that there is significant relationship between the adoption of CE technologies in manufacturing companies and their size, location, R&D activities, company age and product batch size. Finally, the research reveals the surprising finding that there is no apparent link between the perception of CE barriers and the plans of companies to implement selected CE technologies.

“…Um MNC oferece soluções circulares e sustentáveis para manter-se competitivo no mercado e gerar lucro (VAN LOON; MIHELIC, 2022;CORRAL-MARFIL, et al, 2021;ANGELIS, 2020;CNI, 2018). Desta forma, a organização deve considerar o potencial de lucro ao longo dos ciclos reversos (FERNANDO et al, 2022;WEISSBROD, 2022;ELLEN MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, 2013a) e fazer estimativas confiáveis de custo e lucro para avaliar se a oferta circular será lucrativa (GEISSDOERFER et al, 2020;WASSENHOVE, 2020;ACCENTURE, 2014;ELLEN MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, 2013b).…”
