“…The multi‐tier supply chains, which feature forest management and harvesting, manufacturing, logistics, retail sales, and use of the products, have crucial implications for environmental sustainability (Vidal et al, 2010). This industry uses wood‐based fiber, water, energy, and chemicals, all in significant amounts (Lipiäinen et al, 2022). Hence, climate change, resource‐efficiency, and sustainable forest management have been among the topics prioritized on the industry's environmental agenda (Ranängen & Zobel, 2014; Tuppura et al, 2016).…”

To manage their increasingly ambitious environmental agendas successfully, companies need better and more versatile data, yet the elements and mechanisms through which businesses and the environment benefit from data remain poorly understood. A single‐case‐study setting was designed for examining the perceived value of data for environmental sustainability as seen by the customers of a tissue‐paper supplier. The findings, from material collected during interviews with customers in 2022, showcase the multifaceted nature of data's value for business operations and associated ability to support decisions and activities that encourage environment‐informed choices and environmental improvements. Also, fully exploiting data's potential for environmental sustainability requires greater volume and detail of product‐specific data, transparency of value chains and environmental impacts, and data's better management and sharing. The emerging insight related to the value of data strengthens understanding of how companies could, with data, support their customers' environmental performance.

“…Energy efficiency development in the Finnish forest industry was studied using the energy efficiency index method. The method was applied in the previous study for assessing energy efficiency development in the pulp and paper industry (Lipiäinen et al 2022). The present work follows the same method and uses the same reference-specific energy consumption values.…”

was born in Edinburgh but grew up in Hastings. He studied chemistry at Oxford, where he gained a B.A. and D.Phil. He moved to the University of Cambridge before being appointed to a University Lectureship and Fellowship of Robinson College in 1984. He remained at Cambridge until 1993 when he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Basel. In 2000 he took up a position as Professor of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham (England) where he was appointed Head of School. He returned to the University of Basel as Professor of Chemistry in 2002. He publishes in all areas of chemistry with over 650 peer-reviewed publications and is highly cited (22,000 citations, h-index 74). His interests cover all aspects of chemistry, chemical history and the communication of science. He is Editor-in-Chief for a new open access journal Chemistry. He has held an ERC Advanced Grant and has been Research Dean and Vice-President of the University of Basel. He is currently Chairman of the Swiss Academies Expert Group on Research Integrity and President of Euresearch.When he is not being a chemist, he is to be found chasing insects and pursuing his love of photography.

“…The chemical process industry has a natural scope of energy optimization as it can consume and create energy through various means or can integrate the available energy to achieve higher potential or reduce energy consumption. Lipiäinen et al (2022) suggest use of bio-alternatives to replace fossil fuels, thus decreasing the carbon intensity of processes.…”

The chemical process industries, being energy intensive in nature, still struggle to strategically and sustainably consider energy management issues. Energy sustainability depends on a sustainable energy supply, consumption, and waste disposal. This paper analyses current energy management and optimization in industries and also attempts to identify the significance of incorporating energy management into the strategic perspectives of industry through an exhaustive literature review. To ensure the optimization of energy, the paper illustrates the importance of adopting a techno-managerial approach that integrates the technical aspects of energy conservation with relevant management tactics. This is also a preliminary study for proposing a framework for Indian chemical process SMEs to systematically overcome various challenges and seize the opportunity to ensure optimized energy utilization, thereby highlighting the framework’s long- and short-term benefits. The suggestions in the paper would help these industries and local- and national-level policymakers to improve their energy footprint and make the world more energy sustainable.
