Key research themes

1. How can bottom-up community-driven governance models build resilience and sustainability aligned with the triple bottom line?

This research theme focuses on exploring bottom-up governance frameworks for implementing triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability—integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions—particularly in regions where government involvement is limited or absent. It investigates how community stakeholders, including businesses, NGOs, and citizens, can collaboratively create self-sustaining circular value ecosystems to build resilience and sustainable wealth. The theme addresses governance mechanisms that enable eco-industrial symbiosis and circular economy strategies driven by market actions rather than top-down regulation, thereby expanding TBL application in diverse socio-political contexts.

Key finding: This chapter emphasizes the need for integrated measurement and reporting frameworks that move beyond purely financial metrics towards combining economic, environmental, and social performance indicators—a foundational... Read more
Key finding: Through a systematic literature review spanning 1998 to 2019, this study finds that although TBL has faced criticism—often due to misapplication focusing only on two dimensions—it remains a credible and increasingly relevant... Read more

2. What is the mediating role of the triple bottom line in linking organizational strategy and corporate social responsibility performance?

This theme investigates how the triple bottom line dimensions—economic, environmental, and social responsibility—mediate the relationship between organizational strategic performance (OSP) and corporate social responsibility performance (CSRP). It focuses on empirical examination of the pathways through which strategic planning and resource allocation translate into CSR outcomes within corporate decision-making. Understanding these mediation effects clarifies the mechanisms by which firms integrate sustainability considerations into their strategic objectives to achieve legitimacy and competitive advantage in line with stakeholder, institutional, and resource-based theories.

Key finding: Using survey data from 250 employees in Bangladesh and structural equation modeling (SEM), this study finds that organizational strategic performance positively influences CSR performance. Critically, the environmental and... Read more

3. How do digital transformation and circular economy strategies enhance sustainable supply chain management within the triple bottom line framework?

This theme explores the integration of Industry 4.0 digital technologies and circular economy (CE) principles as drivers to advance sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) aligned with TBL objectives. It investigates how emerging technologies (e.g., IoT, AI, blockchain) enable transparency, resource efficiency, and process innovation, thereby enhancing economic, social, and environmental performance in supply chains. Methodologically, this research applies structural equation modeling and empirical surveys to model the dynamic relationships and performance outcomes, addressing fragmentation in literature about digital-CE integration and its impact on SSCM.

Key finding: Drawing on survey data from 387 supply chain managers across multiple industries and regions, and employing structural equation modeling, this study empirically demonstrates a significant positive association between Industry... Read more

Key finding: Through a series of experiments, this research reveals that supply chain news related to TBL dimensions significantly impacts consumer perceptions of product quality, demonstrating spillover effects where consumers generalize... Read more
