Italy’s Waste Crisis: How the Mafia Turned Trash into Tragedy

For over 40 years, poor waste management in Italy allowed the Mafia to illegally dispose of toxic waste, causing a major health crisis and soaring cancer rates. Despite late government intervention, economic interests consistently outweighed environmental and public protection. This crisis shows that waste management is fundamentally about power and social justice, with certain communities unfairly bearing the burden.

Is there more to sustainability than shopping wisely?

Sustainability depends less on consumer choices and more on how supply chains are structured. Research on Brazil’s beef sector shows that, despite the BRSL initiative to improve sustainability, results fell short. Four types of distance geographical, organizational, cultural, and relational hindered collaboration. These gaps created communication problems and weakened trust among stakeholders. Real progress requires external mediators, such as governments or NGOs, to reconnect the entire supply chain.

What does gender equality in organizations really mean?

Gender equality goes beyond numbers it’s about inclusion. While laws like Copé-Zimmermann have increased women’s representation, true equality means ensuring their voices influence decisions and their contributions are valued. Intersectionality shows that barriers are often compounded by factors like ethnicity or age. The real transition is moving from diversity to inclusion creating cultures where every voice counts and equality drives innovation and resilience.

How Investors Shape Corporate Waste Management

As environmental sustainability gains prominence, institutional investors are increasingly recognized for their influence on corporate environmental practices. This study investigates how institutional investors' ownership and investment horizon affect corporate waste management in France. The results reveal that long-term (short-term) institutional investors negatively (positively) affect waste generation. We also show that the effect of long-term institutional investors on waste generation has accentuated after the adoption of the French Law on the Energy Transition in 2015 , especially for firms with high environmental performance and strong corporate governance and those operating in environmentally sensitive industries. These results offer actionable insights for policymakers, investors, and managers seeking to promote sustainable waste management practices.
