Using Publicized Information to Determine the Sustainable Development of 3-PL Companies

Abstract

Sustainability issues have been seen as a promising paradigm for achieving a better future. Firms in the logistics service sector are still lacking clear value propositions on sustainable development. While many organizations publish their mission statements publicly as kinds of public information, reviewing mission statements is an appropriate means to evaluate an organization's strategy. This study focuses on the public information such as mission statements of the top 50 global 3-PL companies and the relevant sustainable development. A comprehensive content analysis identified four major content dimensions of mission statements relating to sustainability development. The dimensions are driving forces, approaches, responsibility to stakeholders, and competitive values. This paper offers a good methodological reference for researchers or practitioners managing the public information of organizations. Network analysis reveals that the location of companies has a limited effect on their mission and strategy as they all provide global service.

Evaluating Sustainable Development of Land Resources in the Yangtze River Economic Belt of China

“…As a result, the development of evaluation models became more "flexible," gradually integrating information from end participants (researchers, land planners, decision makers) in the simulation, and fully accounting for the needs, knowledge structure, and wishes of decision makers (Braimoh, 2009;Gonzalez-Redin et al, 2019;Kerr et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2017). With the continual development of technology, the application of big data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies in the field of sustainable development have improved the accuracy of the evaluation index (Law et al, 2021;Sarkar et al, 2014;Zhu et al, 2019). GIS, remote sensing, and other technologies have been increasingly used in the construction of an evaluation index for the sustainable development of land resources (Abera et al, 2019;Dewan & Yamaguchi, 2009;Li et al, 2016;Osman et al, 2016).…”

“…Second, the regression models included certain sets of relevant variables. Earlier studies cited other variables that could influence organizational sustainability, including institutional industry, type of workforce, previous exposure to sustainability, information technology, data-driven innovation, and overall education level of employees [5,85,[106][107][108][109][110][111][112]. Failing to include some variables introduces a source of error in the estimated coefficients.…”

“…There is also the challenge of privacy protection. It is the responsibility of data providers to ensure that no personal or sensitive information is published [37]. The process of ensuring this can be complex and can carry the risk of personal and/or corporate prosecution.…”
