Role of trust-building in online recycling platforms

With improving environmental consciousness and the growing demand for valuable resources, waste recycling has become an important concern. This work studies the profit of recyclers and platforms with a degree of trust-building in the reverse logistics system considering the following scenarios: online recycling platform builds trust or not under centralized and decentralized models. The results show that trust-building can effectively make more revenue for the system of the online recycling platform with enhanced demand if the cost of the trust-building construction is relatively low. The revenue-sharing contract is more profitable than the cost-sharing contract but fails to achieve optimization in the integrated setting. We find a new decision support tool for optimal strategies under different decision-making models.

Managing the client portfolio for long-term survival

Our goal was to understand the effectiveness of a company in attracting its customer targets. To do this, we have developed a model that links a company’s marketing activities to the mix of customers who buy from the company. Most marketing models simply ask how a company’s marketing activities influence the number of customers who buy the brand. We wondered how a company’s marketing activities influence the types of customers who buy the brand.

What are Targeting Algorithms?

Not-for-profit organizations have long faced the challenge of balancing budgets when they simultaneously seek to retain and recruit new donors. In principle, existing donors can be targeted based on their previous donation data. However, for new donors, this data is not available or may be difficult to obtain from secondary sources. What should non-profit organizations do? We suggest 2 alternatives.

Should Robotic Warehouses Consider Customer Fairness?

Robotic warehouses have transformed logistics, prioritizing speed and efficiency. However, traditional static priority systems often leave low-priority customers facing excessive delays, raising concerns about fairness. This research, based on Invia, a robotic warehouse company, proposes a dynamic priority allocation model to balance efficiency and fairness. By adjusting order priorities over time, this approach ensures that both high-priority and long-waiting low-priority orders receive timely fulfillment. Through stochastic modeling and simulations, we demonstrate that dynamic prioritization reduces delays compared to static and first-come, first-served (FCFS) models. Case studies in e-commerce and healthcare logistics illustrate the broader impact of fairness in automation. As industries increasingly rely on AI-driven decision-making, the balance between efficiency and equity becomes critical. This research challenges the assumption that robotic warehouses should optimize for speed alone and advocates for a future where fairness plays a central role in automated commerce.

Greenwashing: The Post-Pandemic Shift

Dans un contexte économique sans précédent marqué par une pandémie mondiale, l’entrelacement complexe du discours sur le greenwashing à l’ère des fake news s'est intégré au tissu de la durabilité d’entreprise, remodelant les perceptions des managers et mettant à l’épreuve leur attitude face aux décisions durables. À travers une étude qualitative en deux phases, cette recherche examine l’impact du discours sur le greenwashing sur les perceptions et attitudes des managers vis-à-vis de la durabilité en France après la pandémie. Les résultats révèlent une déconnexion entre le discours externe sur le greenwashing et l’état d’esprit des managers, ces derniers associant souvent les accusations de greenwashing aux « fake news ». De plus, l’étude montre que la pandémie a déplacé l’attention vers les préoccupations financières, reléguant la durabilité au second plan dans la prise de décision stratégique et modifiant ainsi le paysage de la responsabilité d’entreprise. En allant au-delà du cadre habituel centré sur les consommateurs et les clients, cette étude vise à combler un vide critique dans la recherche sur le greenwashing en examinant son impact sur différents acteurs. À travers cette analyse, nous cherchons à contribuer aux recherches sur le discours du greenwashing en offrant une compréhension plus approfondie des complexités et des nuances entourant les perceptions managériales de ce discours et des initiatives de durabilité dans une époque marquée par des défis sans précédent.

AI and Ethics for a Circular Economy

This study investigates whether AI-driven ethical procurement systems enhance firms’ circular supply chain orientation and how governance mechanisms affect supplier cost performance. Using survey data from 393 Indian firms and structural equation modeling, the research confirms that AI-based ethical systems significantly strengthen circular supply chain orientation. Circular orientation promotes both relational and contractual governance, but only relational governance—built on trust and collaboration—improves supplier cost performance. Contractual governance shows no significant effect. The findings extend transaction cost economics by revealing that, in circular supply chains, cost efficiency depends more on flexible, trust-based relationships than on formal contracts. Managerially, the study highlights that AI and relational governance together are critical for achieving ethical, sustainable, and cost-effective procurement in the circular economy.

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.

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

Pendant plus de 40 ans, une mauvaise gestion des déchets en Italie a permis à la Mafia de les éliminer illégalement, provoquant une crise sanitaire majeure et des taux de cancer en hausse. Malgré les interventions tardives de l’État, les choix économiques ont souvent prévalu sur la protection de l’environnement et des populations. Cette crise révèle que la gestion des déchets est avant tout une question de pouvoir et de justice sociale, touchant de manière inégale les communautés.

The circular economy in European small and medium-sized enterprises

Circular Economy (CE) practices have the potential to increase the sustainable, societal and environmental performance of organisations and therefore contribute to meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The objective of this research is to examine the adoption of sustainable practices by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and its impact on their environmental and societal performance.
