Abstract:
The broadening out of environmental assessment to also consider social and economic dimensions poses some unique challenges, not the least of which is understanding exactly what such a process might entail. This paper outlines the spectrum of possibilities and explores the issue of when and how environmental, social and economic considerations can be integrated in sustainability assessment. The integration issue is also relevant to the practice of strategic environmental assessments (SEA). A new way of conceptualising these types of assessment is put forward based on: (i) what is being assessed — the "question" that is being asked; and (ii) what approach is being used — the type of assessment selected from the spectrum of possibilities. The latter ranges from impact minimisation for each of the three sustainability pillars through to sustainability considered as an integrated concept. The combination of the question and assessment approach determines the level, extent and timing of integration of environmental, social and economic considerations that can be achieved. Additional thought needs to be given to who is performing the integration role as well as the nature of a particular proposal or its setting. This approach to thinking about SEA and sustainability assessment is illustrated with examples from Australia and the United Kingdom.

Abstract:
This study established the key integration factors (KIFs) to help participants to scrutinize the key issues during incorporating sustainability issues into engineering development projects. Firstly, Sustainability disputes in one case project were reviewed to understand their evolvement and to analyze the dispute. The key factors were identified by comparing other two types of integration cases. Secondly, focused interviews were conducted with practitioners to scrutinize the eight KIFs by analysing the interviewed opinions to ensure its applicability. The study results show that the eight KIFs were consistent with the key issues in the integration practice. These factors can remind the integration team to check the data quality, choose the appropriate assessment techniques, communicate with stakeholders, invite qualified experts , and then achieve consensus in the integration process.

Abstract:
This work aims to investigate whether and for which products the Campania region, as compared to other Italian regions, has managed to exploit the opportunities resulting from the gradual opening of MTC (Mediterranean third countries) markets which took place following the 1995 Euro-Mediterranean Conference in Barcelona. The results obtained through the use of a relative specialisation index show that Campania, compared to other Italian regions, enjoys a competitive advantage resulting from relative specialisation in the sale of processed and preserved fruit and vegetables and of bakery and flour products on MTC markets. Of great interest is the result, that the performance recorded by Campania with reference to the MTCs regarding the production of processed and preserved fruit and vegetables did not entail the repositioning of the same region on other European markets. Ultimately, the results highlight a strong specialisation and competitiveness of Campania in the production of processed and preserved fruit and vegetables and how the region has managed to fully exploit the gradual opening of MTC markets positioning itself on the markets and without being affected by the other main markets of MTC competition.<br />

Abstract:
ABSTRACT We know very little about management control for sustainability. The objective of this paper is to overcome this void and to explain why and how sustainability control mechanisms vary in relation to firms' sustainability initiatives. In particular, we investigate how the integration of Sustainability Control Systems (SCSs) with the more traditional Management Control Systems (MCSs) is affected by managerial sustainability orientation. The empirical evidence based on a multiple-case design suggests that the nature of a firm's sustainability orientation represents the key trigger in explaining variations in SCSs' integration, and that this integration is facilitated by other potential enablers creating a positive environment supportive of sustainability initiatives. Insights on the complexities and potential dysfunctional consequences of the integration process are also offered. The paper concludes with some avenues for future research.

Abstract:
Our understanding of conservation biology and sustainability have been independently developing for a long time. Evidence suggests that biodiversity is critical for ecosystem function and services on which humans depend, and is directly linked to the economic, social, and environmental components of sustainability. Because of this, the integration of research from each of these areas should and is becoming a priority. In this article, the development of each of these fields and, ultimately, their integration are reviewed. From this, a number of research priorities that allow for the transition from conflict to mutual compatibility between conservation and sustainability objectives are explored. These priorities include research that will improve our understanding of (1) ecosystem services and function provided by biodiversity that benefit humans; (2) the connection between biodiversity and poverty reduction; (3) biodiverse agriculture; (4) issues surrounding indigenous knowledge; and (5) the development of indicators that allow for the integrative assessment of biodiversity conservation and sustainability objectives.

Abstract:
Telehealth initiated a transformation in the realm of innovative strategies to meet the demands of an ever-changing health care system. Adapting provisions to new delivery care models such as telehealth is one way to improve access to care. The purpose of this project was to explore evidence of best practices in telehealth through an extensive, systematic literature review. The practice-focused question focused on identifying advantages of and barriers to the use of telehealth for improving patient satisfaction and quality of care. The plan-do-study-act cycle served as a model for accelerating quality improvement through improved systems of practice, and the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool was used to identify factors in the literature that indicated the clinical effectiveness of telehealth and the contributions of information technology to patient outcomes throughout the care continuum. Applying Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt's model, which consists of 7 levels for grading evidence, 11 articles were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. With respect to comparing telehealth services, this review identified areas for future research, including how telehealth can be used to bridge the gap between hospital and home with the integration of telehealth being integrated into routine care as a means to deliver medical, health, and educational services that contribute to improving patient outcomes. The implications of this project related to social change include supporting evidence that positive change is possible when modalities of health care delivery include the patient as part of care, benefiting both patient and provider.

Abstract:
Several environmental issues are incrementing systematically, and many of them are linked to manufacturing activities. To mitigate these issues, it is necessary to develop sustainability solutions in the early stages of the innovation process, where there is room for creativity and innovation. The integration of sustainability at the strategic level of the company, where the essential decisions, the strategic plan, and the portfolio are developed, might ensure the implementation of sustainability aspects in products and services. Many companies develop product portfolios to organize and offer services, products, technologies and operations following the company strategy and targets. The portfolio components are assessed and selected using evaluation criteria. The most common criteria include: cost, quality, risk, revenue, time and market position. Usually sustainability is not included in the portfolio evaluation criteria. The aim of this research is to obtain a better understanding of how sustainability can be integrated in the product portfolio development of manufacturing companies. The main research targets are to: 1) define sustainability product portfolio based on a comprehension of the academic and industry perspectives, 2) identify how companies currently implement sustainability in their portfolio, 3) determine which evaluation criteria and tools are used for portfolio development and 4) how the product portfolio is developed, implemented and managed. A systematic literature review was performed to understand the state of the art about sustainability product portfolio. The literature review results supported the development of semi-structure interviews with companies and field experts. The interviews outcome provided a better understanding of the industry perspective. Afterwards, a workshop helped to understand what aspects are more significant for the portfolio evaluation criteria. Finally, a strategic sustainability assessment tool SLCA 2.0 was used to assess a technology product portfolio of a specific industry case. The results from the studies created a foundation to: a) determine the state of art of the sustainability product portfolio field and its relevance for integration and implementation of sustainability in the early stages of the product innovation process, b) define the concept of sustainability product portfolio, c) have a better understanding of the setting and the application of the portfolio evaluation criteria and how to include sustainability in the evaluation, d) identify key factors to integrate and implement sustainability in the product portfolio, e) apply and test a tool for assessing a technology portfolio from a sustainability perspective and f) create a prototype of a model to develop  the product portfolio with a strategic sustainability perspective. This research provides a knowledge foundation of how sustainability can be integrated in product portfolio. In future research a model will be developed to support companies of how to include a strategic sustainability perspective into their product portfolio to enhance development of more sustainable solutions.

Abstract:
Leaders at nonprofit academic institutions are following the global business trend of embracing sustainability initiatives for positive social change; however, there has been slow growth in sustainability reporting among academic institutions. The purpose of this study was to explore the strategies and processes necessary for leaders and managers to integrate sustainability reporting into the reporting cycle for a nonprofit higher education institution. I conducted a single case study of a nonprofit academic institution that utilized sustainability reporting. The study sample consisted of 4 leaders and managers at a nonprofit academic institution located in the state of Michigan that published sustainability reports. The conceptual framework used for the study was corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability, and triple bottom line (TBL). The data collection process included interviews with leaders and managers involved in the sustainability reporting process and document reviews of the sustainability report and annual reports. I used a data-driven coding approach for data analysis. The codes were linked to create categories, and the categories led to the development of themes. The results revealed 5 themes regarding the sustainability reporting process, including the steps of the sustainability reporting process and the collaborative process in sustainability reporting. The implications for positive social change included the potential for greater transparency for students, faculty, staff, administration and community partners, and greater effectiveness of the implementation of environmental, economic, and social initiatives for higher education institutions and the community.

Abstract:
The fashion industry is the second dirtiest industry that pollutes the planet. H&M is one of many fashion brands that strive to improve the environment by introducing sustainable products and initiatives. This research aims to study how H&M communicate sustainability in the fashion industry context during the selected period. The data is mainly collected from Instagram, the most popular communication platform in the fashion industry and supported by data from brick-and-mortar stores, the website and the semi-structured interview. To fully understand the case, this research identifies H&M brand identity and brand extension in sustainability. The fashion brand communication and sustainability communication are the main theoretical framework of the study. The methods of the study are semi-constructed interview and content analysis. The brand identity of H&M is found to be positivity, collectivity, and inclusivity and openness, trendsetter and youthful. The brand extension at H&M can be found in several levels from the establishment of the H&M Foundation to Conscious collection and Conscious Exclusive collection. H&M applies several of fashion brand communication strategic tools to communicate sustainability. The obstacles and limitations of H&M are found to be a conflict of interest between the business and sustainability, downplayed by the nature of fast fashion, an inconsistency of communication, and difficulty to access to the sustainability information. It is found that the unique characteristics of the fashion industry and the creation of brand identity can solve the normalisation paradox of sustainability communication discourse, as well as overcome five barriers from greening. At the same time, the weakness is the decreasing of potential to create reflexivity of sustainability issues which is due to the language and tone of communication. Another weakness is the decreasing potential of sustainability to be normalised in the fashion industry which is due to the number of information available from the brand.

Abstract:

The output characteristic of a photovoltaic (PV) module varies as the environmental conditions of the module’s operation change. Changes in operating temperature and incident sunlight dynamically change the maximum power available from a PV module, as well as the output voltage. The output voltage of the PV generating system must be regulated, in order to ensure proper power quality for connection to an electrical load, building electric power system, or the electric grid.

PV modules are typically connected in series strings and parallel arrays to create PV generating systems. Non-uniform environmental conditions create voltage mismatches throughout PV generating systems. A mismatch between module voltages can severely reduce the amount of power available from the overall generating system. These system losses can be eliminated by regulating the output voltage of each module.

This dissertation proposes a power electronic device that fulfills two objectives: extracting maximum power from the single PV module, and regulating the output voltage to ensure a constant value. This dissertation reviews the analytical design of such a system, and validates this design in simulation, utilizing MATLAB/SIMULINK and ANSYS Simplorer.

Abstract:
This study aims to draw attention to a new concept within the tourism industry that integrates citizen science into an ecotourism product. The merge of citizen science and ecotourism shows potential to play a role in strategic sustainable development and to give ecotourism providers a competitive advantage in the market. However, the environmental and social benefits of this concept can only be realized if it is applied correctly. The framework for strategic for strategic sustainable development (FSSD) was used to address the complexity surrounding ecotourism and the use of citizen science. The study used a mixed method research design by conducting exploratory interviews, and then distributing a questionnaire to validate the qualitative findings. Results demonstrate that the merge of citizen science and ecotourism could contribute to sustainability through education, conservation, local community engagement, and the increased environmental awareness of the travellers. Additionally, it demonstrates that the integration of citizen science in an ecotourism product might create business benefits for the ecotourism providers in conjunction with a dynamic learning experience for the consumer. This study makes adaptions to a widely used citizen science toolkit and recommends appropriate changes to the process in order to ensure that it is effective for ecotourism providers while incorporating sustainability throughout the product design phase.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to increase the knowledge for both academia and practitioners on how to integrate sustainability aspects in product development by studying current research and comparing these findings to empirical material retrieved from an industrial company. Seco, which functioned as the case company of this study, was used as the source for the empirical data collection. The study used a deductive research approach, which implicates that the literature has steered the collection of the empirical material. In the literature, eight key drivers and seven challenges for sustainable product development were identified to be significantly important. The drivers were categorized as either internal or external for an organization and the challenges were all categorised as internal. Of these eight drivers, one internal and one external driver was identified at Seco to be particularly important. The internal driver was the corporate sustainability strategy from Sandvik Group, which is the corporation Seco is part of, and the external driver was upcoming and existing regulations. Moreover, all six challenges were found to be relevant for Seco. These were handling trade-off situations, short-term economic thinking, lack of information in early phases of product development, measuring sustainability, sustainability strategy remains at the strategic level, and perceived risk of implementing sustainability. This study also examined what attributes that are important in decision support tools to enable the integration of sustainability aspects in product development. To identify important attributes in this study, Seco’s current decision support tools at the strategic, tactical, and operational planning levels were analysed by putting the theoretical framework in relation to the empirical material. From the analysis, the initial seven attributes from the theoretical framework were complemented with the following five attributes identified as important: a top-down approach that focuses on integrating sustainability on all planning levels of the product development process, enabling follow-up on strategic decisions, reduce the room for free interpretations, reduce the complexity and amount of time to use decision support tools, and lastly methodologies to support the collection of the required information to use decision support tools. Thus, it is emphasized that researchers and practitioners continue to develop new and existing decision support tools so that the sustainability of products can be defined and measured. A focus on developing methodologies that guides how the required information can be obtained to use decision support that incorporates all life-cycle phases of a product is also identified as important.

Abstract:
Diese Arbeit ist ein empirischer Versuch zu verstehen, warum und wie Energieunternehmen Nachhaltigkeit durch Sustainability Accounting and Reporting institutionalisieren und wie sie von zahlreichen institutionellen Mechanismen im Rahmen der Institutionentheorie und der Stakeholder sowie aus deren Ansprüchen im Rahmen der Stakeholder Theorie beeinflusst werden, Theorien, die sich gegenseitig bedingen. Diese Arbeit möchte sich anhand normativer und deskriptiver Literatur über die Praktikabilität des Konzeptes und der Systeme informieren und durch die Entwicklung einer Fallstudie ein praktisches Beispiel vorstellen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines unternehmerischen Nachhaltigkeitssystems des Fallbeispielunternehmens, das pragmatisch zielgetrieben und – basierend auf den strategischen Schwerpunkten des Managements – auf die Einflüsse und Ansprüche der Stakeholder abgestimmt ist. Dafür wird die Fallstudie das Konzept des Sustainability Accounting and Re-porting anhand des regionalen Energieversorgungsunternehmens ReVU untersuchen und die Institutionalisierung prüfen. Im Rahmen der Stakeholderanalyse werden auch die Branche und der Wettbewerb auf ihre Nachhaltigkeit untersucht. Somit ist zu überprüfen, ob auch für ReVU Nachhaltigkeit ein Thema ist, in welcher Form und Ausprägung es zu implementieren wäre und welchen Nutzen es überhaupt bringen könnte. Im Ergebnis ist zu sehen, dass verschiedene institutionelle Mechanismen und das Stakeholdermanagement auf das nachhaltige Handeln des Unternehmens einwirken. Besonders ist im Moment der normative Druck der gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen aufgrund aktueller Ereignisse zu spüren, der auf die regulative Gesetzgebung der Energie- und Klimapolitik wirkt und die Energiewende beschleunigt. Diese nachhaltige Entwicklung ist auch kulturell-kognitiv in der Branche und bei den Wettbewerbern zu sehen. Dadurch ist ein deutlicher Wettbewerbsdruck zu bemerken, der auf dem Zusammenspiel von normativen, regulativen und kulturell-kognitiven Mechanismen beruht und durch das mimetische Verhalten zu einem Isomorphismus von nachhaltigen Strategien und Maßnahmen sowie Managementsystemen mit dem besonderen Bezug zur Ökologie führt.

Abstract:
Organizations state that their responsibilities are growing and that one of the most common issues is how to integrate CSR internally with the business, where the main problem is how CSR should be evaluated. The connection between CSR integration and improvement has been unclear regarding what improvement means and how it is achieved. Interviews have been conducted with large businesses who have experience in CSR evaluation and sustainability reporting, in order to investigate; In the context of large business organizations, how can CSR be evaluated in terms of sustainability reporting, in order to understand the internal connection between integration and improvement? Research findings emphasize that CSR has transformed into the wider concept sustainability. Sustainability reporting has become institutionalized in large businesses. However, how to conduct sustainability reporting is not fully institutionalized since businesses can select what to include. Internal techniques are considered more important for the evaluation than the report itself. The analytical model is confirmed to an extent because the connection is concluded as a constant process. Particularly, because improvement is not always aimed for, since it can hinder other essential techniques. Finally, improvement is diffuse with different meanings in different industries, which should be encountered carefully.

Abstract:
A critical issue in international development is how donor-funded programs can support sustainable and long-lasting changes in assisted countries. Among the factors associated with sustainability is improved governance. However, many donor-funded initiatives are focused on achieving results in specific sectors, such as health, education, and agriculture. How can how governance interventions contribute to achieving sector-specific results? This brief explores this question and discusses how international development practice has incorporated recognition of the links between governance and sector outcomes. The brief develops a stylized continuum of how governance elements relate to sector interventions and contribute to expected outcomes. We discuss factors that either impede or impel governance integration and close with some observations regarding prospects for integrated programming. The audience for the brief is the international development policy and practitioner communities, and secondarily, academics with an interest in the topic. Key take-aways include: (1) there is ample evidence of positive contributions from improved governance to sector-specific outcomes, but few guideposts exist for practical and effective governance integration; (2) barriers to integration include urgent sector priorities that overshadow governance concerns, requirements to demonstrate progress towards ambitious sector targets, and complex choices related to measurement; and (3) sustainability and self-reliance are major drivers for integration and are facilitated by the flexibility and adaptation that governance integration enables.

Abstract:
This paper describes how Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) can be integrated into economy wide analytical frameworks to enhance evidence based decision making. Examples from applications of the Integrated Environmental Economic Modelling (IEEM) Platform show how explicitly accounting for the contributions of the environment to the economy in economic forecasting can lead to substantially different policy recommendations, overcoming some of the scope limitations of traditional economic performance analysis. Furthermore, the paper describes how NCA can be integrated into more traditional economic performance measurements, such as the System of National Accounts and their indicators such as adjusted Gross Domestic Product and Genuine Savings. Integration of natural capital into economy-wide analytical frameworks leads to better policy uptake of research findings and it empowers policymakers to avoid short-sighted decisions, which, although they can generate short-term economic gain, can have adverse consequences for economic, social, and environmental sustainability in the long run.
