“…While SDG7 calls for providing easy access to modern energy services, for fostering energy efficiency and for increasing the share of renewable energy [58,59], SDG12 envisions sustainable consumption behavior and production patterns, highlighting resources efficiently, reducing global food and other waste, including biowaste, safely disposing of toxic waste, pollutants and others. SDG7 also refers to an accelerated transition to an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system, considering that countries have to facilitate access to and encourage clean energy research, promote investment in the energy infrastructure and in clean energy technology [60].…”

The growth in population and economic activities has direct implications on the deterioration of the natural capital, especially when referring to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. However, improvement is possible by empowering sustainable consumption and production patterns. Through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations call for a mix of economic development, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. The agenda also provides the instruments needed to track progress, as each Sustainable Development Goal has a set of indicators meant to assess various dimensions of sustainability. Energy productivity is only one of many, but still special because it reflects sustainable consumption behaviors and production patterns. The 2030 Climate Target Plan elaborated by the European Commission consolidates and brings its contribution to the aims of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by adding weight to the importance of the greenhouse gas emissions target. The objective of this research was to study the relationship between energy productivity, greenhouse gas emissions, biowaste recycling and nominal GDP in the EU in order to highlight the key of a smooth transition towards sustainable consumption behaviors and production patterns. The results show that recycling, greening the economy and energy productivity are the vectors of this transition.

“…It calls for affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy. Affordable and clean energy is directly related to other SDGs [196]. Energy production enhancement, energy efficiency [197,198], alternative energy resources [199], modern and renewable energy [200], clean cooking [201,202], energy cost [203], and zero-carbon energy and greenhouse gasses [204] are just a few highlights of the SDG-7 literature.…”

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

et al. 2022

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been an articulated practice for over 7 decades. Still, most corporations lack an integrated framework to develop a strategic, balanced, and effective approach to achieving excellence in CSR. Considering the world’s critical situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, such a framework is even more crucial now. We suggest subsuming CRS categories under Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) be used and that they subsume CSR categories since SDGs are a comprehensive agenda designed for the whole planet. This study presents a new CSR drivers model and a novel comprehensive CSR model. Then, it highlights the advantages of integrating CSR and SDGs in a new framework. The proposed framework benefits from both CSR and SDGs, addresses current and future needs, and offers a better roadmap with more measurable outcomes.

Thermoelectrics are energy harvesters that can directly convert waste heat into electrical energy and vice versa. Currently, thermoelectric (TE) devices display lower efficiency as the materials used for construction possess a very low figure of merit (ZT). Therefore, understanding the structural features of materials, finding new materials, and analyzing their chemistry and physics play a vital role in enhancing their energy conversion efficiency. Among the different classes of TE materials, some inorganic chalcogenides are perfect candidates for power generation as they possess excellent TE properties. The objective of this review is to provide insights into structural features and innovative methods to obtain enhanced thermoelectric properties of selected inorganic chalcogenides. The review covers recent advances in preparation methods, structural features, and thermoelectric properties of selected metal selenides (Bi2Se3, Ag2Se, SnSe, etc.) and metal tellurides (Bi2Te3, SnTe, PbTe, etc.). The review also discusses the critical parameters for designing and optimizing the TE materials to obtain the required electrical conductivity (σ), Seebeck coefficient (S), and thermal conductivity (k). In addition, promising mechanistic approaches to be adopted for enhancing the efficiency of TE materials such as doping, alloying, and nanostructuring are discussed in detail. Finally, a summary that describes advancements in the materials design is provided with a prospect for future applications from these materials in the development of energy harvesting technology.
