One of the main drivers of economic growth or development is foreign trade. About 85 percent of the total volume of world trade is transported by sea. In today's economy, ports play a much more significant role than simply serving passengers and handling cargo along the quays. In this sense, ports equipped to perform transport and forwarding operations, serve cargo ships and passengers, and carry out other related economic activities, play an essential role in transporting goods. Since the action of ports, directly and indirectly, affects the state of local and regional transport and logistics systems, they become potential centers of coordination of competitive strategies. The work aims to identify the relationship between the profitability of water transport enterprises and the quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. The following methods were used to solve the tasks: system-structural, abstract-logical analysis and grouping – when researching the level of quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine; calculation and analytical – when analyzing the level of profitability of water transport enterprises of Ukraine; economic-mathematical modeling – when constructing the dependence of the profitability of Ukrainian water transport enterprises on the level of quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. The article examines the level of quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. An analysis of the profitability level of Ukraine's water transport enterprises was carried out. The dependence of the profitability of Ukrainian water transport enterprises on the quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine is constructed. This dependence was recorded mathematically and presented graphically. We investigated the density of the connection between the profitability of Ukrainian water transport enterprises and the quality of port infrastructure in Ukraine. To check the quality of the built model, we calculated key indicators and conducted several special tests. To increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian water transport on the international and cabotage transportation market in the post-war recovery period, the article develops recommendations for constructing a new state-of-the-art port infrastructure based on the principle of "better than before".

Organisations have been driving sustainability, where some efforts have focussed on the organisation itself and some on how organisations contribute to society, such as addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although organisations have been working to address the SDGs, there has been limited integration of the SDGs in organisation systems. This paper aimed at analysing how organisations have been addressing the SDGs. A survey was developed to investigate the impacts and contribution of organisations to sustainability, where 294 responses were obtained for the questions on organisations' impacts to the sustainability. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis: Friedman test to rank the impacts on the SDGs and divided into quartiles; a ratio analysis between positive impacts and negative impacts; and correlations. The results show that organisations' impacts on the SDGs are quite generalisable to all types of organisations, with three exceptions (SDGs 4, 5 and 16). The results also served to develop an SDG impact categorisation. The correlation analysis showed that organisations address the SDGs through a compartmentalised approach. The results helped to propose the ‘organisations' impacts on the SDGs framework’ focussing on the contribution of organisations to sustainability. This research shows that organisations can contribute directly to some of the SDGs, but not to others. Therefore, the discourse must change from integration of SDGs on organisations to the contribution that organisations can have on the SDGs.

“…There has been increasing interest on how organisations (civil society organisations [CSOs], companies/business, education institutions, public sector organisations [PSOs], and hybrid ones) address the sustainability dimensions (i.e., economic, environmental, social, and time) (Barreiro‐Gen et al, 2022; Pfeffer, 2010; Soyka, 2012) in a holistic way (Hjorth & Bagheri, 2006; Lozano, 2022). It has been posited that the nature and purpose of an organisation affect how sustainability is addressed (Soyka, 2012).…”

There has been increasing interest on how organisations address the four dimensions of sustainability. Despite calls for a holistic perspective, empirical research on sustainable organisations has been carried out on (1) engagement efforts, focussing inside the organisation, i.e., the system elements engage with sustainability, or (2) efforts to contribute to sustainability, focussing outside the organisation, i.e., how the organisation as a whole impacts sustainability. A survey was developed to investigate engagement of the system elements and their contribution to sustainability, from which 210 full responses were obtained. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis, Friedman test to rank the engagement of the organisation system elements with sustainability, ratio analyses (positive to negative) and ANOVAs regarding organisation type and size. The results show that the organisation system elements most engaged with sustainability are research and management, and strategy, and the least are operations and production, products, procurement, and supply chain. The impact ratios are highest from research, services, and management and strategy. The ANOVA test results demonstrate that the type of organisation does not affect how the system elements engage with and impact sustainability, with some exceptions. The paper proves that the inside and outside sustainability efforts of an organisation are not separated but intertwined through a series of connections. The results are integrated into for the “organisation system elements engagement and impact to sustainability” model. Organisations must take a holistic a systems perspective that considers the system elements engagement and how each of these contribute to sustainability and its dimensions.
