“…In the light of these, a theoretical framework was presented in Figure 2, as originally introduced by [19] and developed by [24], outlining the complementing role of ISO 9001:2015 and supply chain integration principles for sustainable development. This research finding echoes with the QM and sustainability integration literature [4,9,19,22,34,35,53]; as well as the stakeholder management, supply chain management and sustainability integration literature [17,29,59,94], emphasizing the role of QM and SCM in firm performance improvement and sustainability. The viewpoints of other references in this special issue are further supported with our theoretical, conceptual, and empirical contributions towards the linkage of ISO 9001 and sustainable development including [95], that concluded the facilitating role of ISO 9001 in the implementation of organizational environmental practices in their state-of-the-art systematic review study and [96], that laid out the integral role of business excellence models and their associated management principles in organizational sustainability assessment.…”

Driven by the increasing stakeholder and societal pressures, organizations and supply chains face the multi-dimensional challenges of not only integrating economic, environmental and social agendas into their management systems but also driving continual sustainability performance improvement. Aiming to support organizations in this sustainable development challenge, this paper explores the strategic management principles of ISO 9001 and supply chain integration from the lens of triple bottom line sustainability. Derived from theoretical synergies, a conceptual framework for integration, measurement, and improvement of triple bottom line sustainability is constructed and a business diagnostic tool introduced to facilitate the implementation of the framework. The developed conceptual framework and diagnostic tool are verified through an expert panel-based Delphi study and positive relationships formulated between the management principles of ISO 9001, supply chain integration and sustainability management. The facilitating and catalyzing role of quality management and supply chain management principles for integration and improvement of organizational sustainability is outlined.

“…Opponents claim that structural changes should be made to avoid shock waves from an already distressed mining industry. Countries that are well-endowed with georesources potentially advance socio-economic development through downstream mineral beneficiation (Chitaka et al, 2018).…”

The Importance of Mineral Beneficiation: Mining is a significant economic activity in most Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, and mineral beneficiation has been identified and controversially discussed as one of the possibilities for industrialisation. The purpose of this article is to study mineral beneficiation policies and practices in the SADC countries with regard to the regional developmental agenda. Methodology and Interventions: With many member countries being economically too small to muster the human and financial resources, the recently adopted Regional Mining Vision (RMV) envisages interventions at a regional level. This study followed a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews across the region mainly in English and seldom in French. Principal Results: Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts from SADC member countries during the 2019 Mining Indaba. Participants were divided on whether beneficiation should be carried out nationally or in the SADC region. While beneficiation could support value-keeping, key challenges named were infrastructure development (i.e. energy, water), scarce skills, access to technology and related cost, but also lack of free trade and movement. Conclusion: We submit that a more integrated beneficiation strategy for the SADC region, as was being developed through the RMV, would indeed be relevant in the future.

“…The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment introduced a new framework for analyzing social-ecological systems that has had a wide influence on policy and scientific communities (Carpenter et al 2009). Many scholars have researched the process of policy making through establishing models (Baker and Eckerberg 2013;Brunner and gret-Regamey 2016;Pacini et al 2004;Sutherland and Freckleton 2012) and evaluating how well the policy was working (Chitaka et al 2018;Mossalanejad 2012). The stages model has advantages in that it helps reveal how ecological restoration becomes embedded in the policy making process.…”
