“…The adoption of ISO 56002‐2019 will embark the effect on triple bottom line or people, profit and planet (Kiatpanont, 2020), which will help the firm to contribute and fulfil the firm responsibility toward United Nation SDGs (Cordova & Celone, 2019; Lehoux et al, 2018) through adoption of green business operation and environmental standards. ISO 56002‐2019 will not only accomplish the environmental standards but also enhance the quality standards (Kiatpanont, 2020) which will contribute directly in achieving environmental SDG, economic SDG and indirectly in achieving social SDG for the societal development.…”

Reporting is a means of communication for companies to their respective stakeholders. The literature on non‐financial reporting has mostly focused on operational, Carbon Discloser Project (CDP), and environmental disclosure to firm performance. This reporting and disclosure approach adopted by companies in their sustainability practices appears to be a normative approach. However, there has been a growing demand by stakeholders to incorporate proactive approach in business activities. To meet that, green innovation practices (GIPs) has been integrated as a new element in environmental reporting, thereby reflecting the proactiveness of companies in their adoption of green innovation reporting (GIR). The objective of this study is to advocate for greater disclosure on sustainability reporting by incorporating the GIPs of companies and substantial, sustainable development goal contribution, along with the moderation of the newly upgraded ISO 56002‐2019 innovation management system. Adoption of green innovation reporting and ISO 56002‐2019 will enhance the level of transparency of business activities and create greater stakeholder confidence along with enhancing the firm's sustainable development of goal performance. Furthermore, an extensive literature review was undertaken to create a GIR framework (i.e., product, process, service and technology) for firms to integrate GIPs into sustainability reporting. The conceptual model proposed the adoption of green innovation reporting and ISO 56002‐2019 innovation management system to firm sustainable development goal. This needs to be injected into the sustainable reporting of companies to reflect their innovativeness, actual sustainable business practices and sustainable development goal performance for the firm.

“…From this perspective, in novation involves the transformation of backbone systems of modern societies (e.g., energy, mobility, food, water, healthcare, communication) [35]. In the literature, we find references to the 3 Ds model [36], transformative innovation [28], responsible research and innovation [35], open innovation [2], social innovation [37], or challenge-or mission-oriented innovation [38].…”

“…In the literature, we could find several business model innovations suitable for undertaking the transformations required by the 2030 Agenda at the level of firms [2]. Rath and Siebold [1], for example, talk about 'conscious enterprises' [68] as a suitable model to create shared value and generate transformational changes in firms.…”

In this contribution, we explore the possibilities of Responsible Innovation (RI) to assess and support the engagement of businesses in the spectrum of Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) and, in particular, cooperatives to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the firm level. We conduct a critical review of the academic literature on sustainable development and responsible innovation, focusing on the role of business to identify how firms in the spectrum of SSE can contribute through responsible innovation to the sustainable development agenda and how firms in the spectrum of SSE can benefit from it. Results suggest that firms can benefit from responsible innovation in the transformation of their business models. On the other hand, firms in the spectrum of SSE contribute to extending the scope of SDGs to business, not focusing on what cooperatives do by their nature (e.g., principles and values), but their contribution to key horizontal enablers (e.g., partnership and innovation) for the integration of firms in the sustainable development agenda. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the relationship between SSE firms and RI is assessed from the perspective of firms’ contribution to SDGs. Further research is needed to sophisticate the translation of particular tools developed in the framework of RI to firms in the spectrum of SSE and, in particular, cooperative firms.

“…They argued that researchers should pay particular attention to understanding how and to what extent the SDGs can strengthen business strategy and performance measurement. Most notably, recent reviews of the literature have shown that the SDGs could be considered possible strategic drivers for business-related research due to the face of their value relevance [25][26][27]. Beyond business strategies, sustainable development requires innovative product design strategies in a variety of contexts to support social, economic, and environmental responsibility across the entire value chain.…”

Since the initiation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, academia and industry have been taking action to seek how to address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via research, practice, and community engagement. Due to the UN SDGs comprising comprehensive domain-centric ontologies for reaching a consensus on their achievement, so far there has been a literature gap on how and what product design strategies can help achieve which of the SDGs. Inspired by the implication of creating a better world with design, this study conducted a scoping review to synthesize existing design strategies toward the implementation of the SDGs. More than 110 design strategies/methods were collected and synthesized as evidence to map onto the ontological domains of the SDGs. The results indicate that Goals 8, 9, 11, and 12 can be correspondingly addressed by the current body of design strategies, whereas a gap exists in the design strategies to address Goals 15, 16, and 17. Most of the corresponding strategies can be workable to Goals 3, 4, 6, and 7 to a certain extent and, in a broad sense, are in line with the contextual implications of Goals 1, 2, 5, 10, 13, and 14. This study provides a useful starting point for researchers to explore how design has been contributing to the sustainability goals. It also contributes to existing knowledge of the design discipline by providing methodological guidance for researchers and practitioners to conduct further research and practice on the UN SDGs.
