Description

Environmental Management defends valuable environmental assets, manages local areas on the most suitable way and improves relationships between people and the natural environment. Organizations are gradually concerned to achieve and establish environmental performance, controlling their activities, products or services on the environment. These issues are registered in the legislation context more and more stringent, of the progress of economic policies and other measures designed to encourage environmental protection, increase business concern on environmental issues, including sustainable economic development. Thus, the complex systems of the assimilated management (environmental, quality, security, energy) afford the circumstance for continuous development of industrial performance, including product quality and anticipation and reducing environmental pollution. EMS execution requires a thorough regard of some phases (stages) characteristic of the environmental exploration performed by an organization. The 19 phases of EMS implementation outline the phases that the organization follows to develop an effective environmental policy.

Increasing new resource “frontiers,” such as agricultural land and mineral reserves, is an important feature of economic growth in poor economies. Yet frontier-based progress is characteristic of a pattern of economy-wide resource corruption in emerging economies that: (a) generates little additional economic rents, and (b) what rents are produced are not being reinvested in other sectors. Such development is inherently unsustainable. The key to sustainable economic improvement in poor economies will be improving the economic assimilation between frontier and other sectors of the economy, aiming policies to improved resource supervision in frontier areas and overcoming problems of corruption and rent-seeking in resource segments.

The options available for communities to work toward sustainable community economic improvement are explored through four important elements of community economic improvement theory.

Sustainable community economic improvement is about altering insights and choices regarding community resources, markets, rules, and decision-making capability. The idea of new knowledge and reframing issues is offered as a method to make new options. The dimensions of time, space, relegated socialeconomic groups, and dynamic economies stretch the theory of sustainable improvement beyond the more traditional physicalbiological definition.

Achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Enlargement Goals (SDGs) by 2030 is a Grand Challenge, particularly for business academics who have an accountability to work with businesses regarding their management and contributions. Two main challenges are examined: The need for academics to work together towards holistic solutions to SDG problems, and the need for stronger engagement to decrease the distance between academics and practitioners/ practice. It then develops a framework that contemplates the knowledge-generation and application roles business academics face in addressing groups of insiders and outsiders. Finally, the use of the framework is established via a case study of modern slavery in corporate supply chains.

The role of a human rights-based methodology to adult learning and education (ALE) in the context of the global Education 2030 agenda, which is accompanying with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) launched in 2015 by the United Nations. Whereas the Millennium Improvement Goals (MDGs) concentrated on primary education, the SDGs, through SDG 4 which is dedicated to education, call on Member States to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote permanent learning opportunities for all”. The inclusion of lifetime learning has awakened hopes for a stronger role of ALE in global education programmes and policies.
