Abstract: The relationship between sustainability and profitability is one of the most debated questions in contemporary management. Critics argue that environmental and social commitments add costs and divert resources from owners, while supporters argue that sustainable practices reduce costs, manage risk, and open new sources of revenue. This paper reviews the conceptual background and the main theoretical perspectives on the relationship, identifies the....

Abstract: In the current context, it is essential to understand the scale of the problem of soil and water contamination, and its implications for the environment and public health. This concern stems from the fact that soil and water are vital resources for life on Earth, and their contamination compromises not only the sustainability of ecosystems, but also the availability of essential resources for human beings. Water and soil contamination is complex and multifactorial.e....
