“…In Kagawa’s (2007) research about sustainability dimensions among undergraduates the social issues were only marginally considered. Similar results were found by Watson et al (2013) and in a Hungarian sample of business students by Deutsch and Berényi (2018). However, the complete lack of the social dimension was somewhat perplexing.…”

Purpose This study has two aims. It aims to analyse three essential pre-conditions of an authentic sustainability curriculum (ASC). The theoretical analysis involves the definition of authenticity through the learning outcomes (LOs) framework called authentic minimum (AM). This paper also aims to gauge students’ views on economic growth, sustainability and mindfulness. Design/methodology/approach The theoretical aim was accomplished by extensive study of and critical reflections on the relevant literature. The empirical research was qualitative using an online questionnaire as survey instrument consisting of predominantly open-ended questions involving students of two economic faculties. Directed content analysis and nonparametric quantitative methods were used to assess the answers. Findings Viable sustainability goals are in stark contrast with the promotion of sustainable economic growth in sustainable development goals 8 and the reigning neoliberal agenda. The empirical findings provide valuable insights into how undergraduate students view mindfulness, economic growth and aspects of sustainability. Research limitations/implications The empirical research has some obvious limitations that warrant caution in generalizing the results. The authors used a sample of convenience and the base population of the survey consisted only in students of economics in two economic faculties of two Hungarian universities. Practical implications Practical implications of the present paper are many all sharing; however, the need for existential courage on the part of teachers, students and leaders of higher education institutions. Existential courage is required for profound personal transformation, for going against mainstream ideology and the possible confrontations with colleagues, leaders of institutions, students, friends or family members. Originality/value On the theoretical side, the concept of ASC was introduced with AM as its LOs framework. For the first time, an attempt was made to interpret authenticity in sustainability education as an integration of mindfulness, human and environmental ethics and a firm opposition to economic growth and neoliberal ideals. The analysis of qualitative data supported earlier research and also provided unique findings in the examined areas.

“…The application of IoT is apparent because it is required to set up adequate communication between UCC, delivery vehicles, crowd agents, flow generators, parcel lockers etc. The application of IoT would enable the tracking of deliveries (and goods) at the CC platform in re- When solving CL problems, it is necessary to define the criteria in a way to encompass the attitudes, demands and goals of all stakeholders -local administration, logistics providers, service users and residents [6], and to cover all three sustainability aspects -social, economic and environmental [51]. The existing literature considered a broad set of criteria with regard to the nature and the observation level of problems [4,15,35,52].…”

The negative effects of goods flows realisation are most visible in urban areas as the places of the greatest concentration of economic and social activities. The main goals of this article were to identify the applicable Industry 4.0 technologies for performing various city logistics (CL) operations, establish smart sustainable CL solutions (SSCL) and rank them in order to identify those which will serve as the base points for future plans and strategies for the development of smart cities. This kind of problem requires involvement of multiple stakeholders with their opposing goals and interests, and thus multiple criteria. For solving it, this article proposed a novel hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model, based on BWM (Best-Worst Method) and CODAS (COmbinative Distance-based ASsessment) methods in grey environment. The results of the model application imply that the potentially best SSCL solution is based on the combination of the concepts of micro-consolidation centres and autonomous vehicles with the support of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies. The main contributions of the article are the definition of original SSCLs, the creation of a framework and definition of criteria for their evaluation and the development of a novel hybrid MCDM model.

“…On the other hand, people get the constantly growing awareness of health and environment as well as the increasing willingness to green procurement day by day. In order to take social responsibilities, companies must carry out pollution control (Deutsch & Berényi, 2018). However, some companies adopt the symbolic environmental behavior due to the inconsistency between the pursuit of profit maximization financial goals and the high pollution control costs and low returns (Lund‐Thomsen et al, 2016).…”

How does multi‐agent govern corporate greenwashing? A stakeholder engagement perspective from “common” to “collaborative” governance

Greenwashing is an obstacle to the sustainable development of society, but the current governance of greenwashing is still a “common” governance, not a “collaborative” governance. Accordingly, this study focuses on the three stakeholders of greenwashing governance: company, media and government. Using a sample of listed companies that have published social responsibility reports from 2014 to 2018, this study analyzes the influence mechanism of media reports on greenwashing and discusses the moderating role of government regulation and mediating role of internal supervision. This study finds that internal supervision plays a hiding role in the process of media reports reducing greenwashing, but government regulation has a weakening effect on this hiding effect, showing a “common” governance. Simultaneously, this “common” governance is heterogeneous across time (i.e., corporate life cycle), space (i.e., spatial spillovers) and environment (i.e., the uncertainty of corporate external policies). However, when the cooperation between the government and the media is strengthened, the hiding behavior of the companies is suppressed and the performance of greenwashing governance is improved, so that “collaborative” governance is achieved. Against this backdrop, this study provides a macro‐to‐micro governance policy framework for corporate greenwashing from the four dimensions of strategy, systems, tools, and information to achieve “collaborative” governance. This study enriches the research on the corporate greenwashing governance and has practical implications for the government, media and other stakeholders.
