This companion for a 2025 academic course covers the global implementation, technical analysis, and strategic application of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB). It likely addresses corporate disclosure practice and investor eng…

Mikael Lind

This report shifts from green corridors to scalable multimodal freight networks built on reusable 'transport legs' across Nordic nodes. It proposes shared KPIs (cost, delivery time, emissions) and digital collaboration (Virtual Watch Tower)…

Simon Holmes

This survey reviews the integration of sustainability and climate considerations into EU competition policy, focusing on the European Commission's 2023 guidelines on sustainability agreements. It explains how businesses can cooperate on env…

Feyisayo Michael Ogunyemi

This paper compares major carbon accounting and disclosure frameworks—GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, CSRD, SEC climate rules, and ISSB—highlighting divergences in scope boundaries, verification, and Scope 3 treatment that create compliance burden…

Maria Papadaki

This paper proposes a blockchain-IoT framework for sustainable agricultural supply chains, integrating tamper-proof traceability with automated carbon accounting aligned to standards such as the EU CSRD. It addresses oracle mechanisms, inte…
