본 연구는 지속가능성보고서평가 시 지속가능한 기업을 어떻게 구분할 것인가에 대한 문제를 제기하고, 이에 대한 해결방안을 기업 지속가능가치에서 찾아보며, 이를 지속가능성보고서를 토대로 기업의 지속가능성 평가에 활용할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 지속가능가치는 기업이 지속가능경영을 위한 현재와 미래에 필요한 자원을 적절히 관리하고 있는가를 파악하기 위해 경제, 사회 그리고 생태적 영역에 걸친 성과를 평가하는 방법론이다. 기존의 지속가능성평가모델들이 기업이 생산활동을 통해 얼마나 많은 외부효과를 발생시켰는지를 평가하는 부하 지향적 방법이었다면 지속가능가치는 한정된 자원을 얼마나 효율적으로 사용하여 비교대상보다 더 많은 가치를 창출하였는가의 관점에서 지속가능경영 성과를 평가하는 가치 지향적 방법이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과로 제시된 지속가능보고서를 토대로 한 지속가능가치 평가는 지속가능성보고서의 질, 지속가능성보고서 내용의 충실성뿐만 아니라, 지속가능성보고서가 기술하고 있는 기업의 지속가능경영성과를 종합적으로 평가할 수 유용한 수단이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose - This study carried out an empirical study of the impact of sustainability - which has been gaining attention as challenges are arising in supply chains based on existing trade networks due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic - on SCM performance and financial performance of Korean SMEs. The study seeks to propose a measurement model to enhance the SCM performance and financial performance of Korean SMEs and to identify the relationship between sustainability, SCM performance and financial performance to suggest implications to SMEs, governments, and relevant organizations. Design/methodology - Our Analysis established hypotheses that economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, and other factors related to sustainability have a positive impact on SCM performance and financial performance as well as SCM performance has a positive impact on financial performance, making empirical validations by utilizing Structural Equation Modeling based on data collected through survey from Korean SMEs. Findings - According to an empirical study, although environmental sustainability and economic sustainability among factors of sustainability had a positive influence on SCM performance, social sustainability did not have a statistically significant influence. Furthermore, it was learned that only economic sustainability had a positive influence on financial performance while SCM performance has a positive influence on financial performance. Originality/value - This empirical study explored the relationship between SCM performance and financial performance of Korean SMEs with a high tendency to depend on specific supply chains when the international trade network is in confusion and/or the global supply chain has collapsed. If Korean SMEs allocate management resources to the factors deducted from this study, they would be able to build more efficient supply chains and improve financial performance to improve sustainability.

The use of the sustainability rating systems in infrastructure construction projects is not as common in comparison to building construction projects. While the sustainability rating systems share some commonalities, they differ from one another in certain ways. Thus, project teams cannot make reliable decisions when choosing the best sustainability rating tools for a given infrastructure projects. The Department of Transportation (DOT) in several states are developing its own rating system to address the infrastructure sustainability, but not in the case of California. Therefore, this paper presents the statistical results on the important sustainability determinants that affects the success of meeting sustainability goals of infrastructure construction projects. The authors conducted an online survey using the structured questionnaires. The categories considered include site, water/wastewater, energy, materials/resources, environmental, and others. The statistical analyses such as Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA are conducted using a total of 25 valid and complete data out of 59 surveys collected. The results demonstrate several factors under each of six major sustainable categories have received higher ranks than other factors. The results also show that a statistically significant difference can be found from water, energy, and environmental categories against the other category based on the pairwise comparisons.

The purpose of this study is to classify the cities on sustainability assessment score studied in advance using cluster analysis, to present efficient management and policy direction based on analysis of sustainability index in 45 cities of all over Gyeongsangnam and Gyeongsangbuk-do. According to the results of cluster analysis, 45 cities were classed into 4 clusters by "livable-welfare city", "environmental -ecological city", "scientific-technological city", and "industrial-economic city". The livable-welfare cities must keep superior environmental sustainability, promote small and medium sized business on regional characteristic. The environmental-ecological cities have to change agriculture into future environmental industry such as ecotourism, bio-industry and landscape agriculture. The scientific-technological cities are going to need support of government scale such as income enlargement of citizen and stable job security. Finally, the industrial-economic cities must increase environmental management plants and improve quality of life through securing green spaces, maintaining public peace and applying UIS because of low quality of environment and life.

This research aims to examine the effect of carbon emission disclosure on firm value and to reveal environmental performance and industrial type as the moderating variables. This study used 82 samples of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and receiving awards in the Indonesian Sustainability Reporting Award (ISRA) in 2014-2018. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The results showed that carbon emission disclosure had a positive and significant effect on firm value as carbon emission disclosure is a form of corporate concern on environment positively responded by the market and becomes the basis for investors to make their considerations in assessing the company sustainability. Besides, environmental performance and industrial type can strengthen the influence relationship of carbon emission disclosure on firm value since environmental performance was assessed based on ISO 14001 certification ensuring that the company has tried to preserve the environmental sustainability by creating a good environmental management system. Moreover, companies categorized into high profile industrial type have tried to change their unfavorable image and avoid lawsuits by performing carbon emission disclosure to gain positive responses from the market.

The existing research on sustainability in the apparel industry provides no clear consensus on the definition of sustainability for the apparel brands and how sustainability of apparel brands as it is perceived by consumers can be measured. To fill this gap in research, the present study proposes and tests a confirmatory model of sustainability for apparel brands based on the three pillars of sustainability (i.e., economic, environmental, social sustainability) theorized in the Triple Bottom Line model. A survey of 754 U.S. consumers provided data for empirical testing. The results support the three-dimensional factor structure of sustainability for apparel brands and reveal that a second-order sustainability exerts a significant impact on both brand image and brand trust. The findings provide theoretical implications for researchers and practical managerial suggestions for marketers.

A sustainable evaluation and planning method shall have an integrative methodology for analysis of interrelationship among environmental resource uses and natural conditions during the planning process. However, there are few methods for understanding or achieving sustainable planning in residential development projects for most planner/architects. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate theories of the concept of environmental carrying capacity based on the ecological view, to propose a sustainable planning method for evaluation and planning of environmental sustainability in residential development projects, to analyze interrelationship of selected environmental resources to represent an environmental carrying capacity for a residential development project based on the proposed sustainable planning method. Finally, through the case studies of a high-density housing project located near Seoul Metropolitan area, the existing case and a sustainable case were analysed by the proposed method.

이 논문의 목적은 한국의 환경정책을 간략하게 개관하고 한국의 환경적 지속가능성을 잘 알려진 지속가능성지수에 비추어 평가하고 동아시아 주요국들과 비교해 보고자 하는 것이다. 한국의 환경정책에 대한 개관과 평가는 주로 정부의 "Green Vision 21", "Green Korea 2005", 그리고 OECD의 Environmental Performance Review : Korea 2006에 나온 내용을 근거로 한 것이다. 한국의 지속가능성을 동아시아 다른 나라들과 비교한 부분은 EF, ESI, SPI, EVI 등 잘 알려진 환경적 지속가능성 지수를 인용하여 비교해 본 것이다. 그러나 이러한 지수들을 국가간 비교에 적용해 보려고 시도해 본 결과는 이들 지수들이 국가간 그리고 시점간 비교 가능성을 결여하고 있다는 것이었다. 그리고 이들 지수들은 지속가능성이란 개념을 충실히 반영하여 환경적 지속가능성을 측정할 수 있도록 구성되어 있지 않다는 점이 지적되었다. 그러므로 우리는 환경적 지속가능성의 개념을 비교적 충실히 반영하고 있다고 생각되는 세계은행이 제시한 'genuine saying'의 개념에 입각한 '지속가능량' 지수에 착안하여 이를 한국과 한국의 주요 무역대상국에 대해 계산하고 비교해 본 다음, 이 지수의 1985~1995년 기간중 변화 요인을 분석한 결과를 간단하게 제시해 보이고 그 함의를 설명함으로써 대안을 제시해보고자 하였다.

Performance evaluation has been done using financial indices which are generally regarded as inappropriate for the organizations which are innovative and progressive. Thus, the Balanced Scorecard(BSC) was developed considering long term performance and invisible performance. This BSC has four perspectives of finance, customer, internal operation, and learning. Based on the BSC, a new BSC has been derived with a fifth view of environmental and social perspective, which is now called as a Sustainability BSC. In this study, we evaluated Green IT initiatives using the Sustainability BSC. The initiatives are categorized as RFID, telepresence, paperless office, logistics management etc. The initiatives were evaluated from the view of five perspectives, resulting in high cor relationships among finance, internal operation, and environmental and social perspectives. Namely, good initiatives from the view of environmental/social perspective are also evaluated as good from the view of finance and internal operation perspectives. In this study, we recommend organizations to introduce Green IT initiatives by showing how Green IT initiatives have contributed to the organizations.
