Dear Colleagues,

“The Oslo Symposium in 1994 proposed a working definition of sustainable consumption as the use of goods and services that respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life, while minimising the use of natural resources, toxic materials and emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generations. (Earth Neotiations Bulletin, 2021)”

As various developments of sustainable research topics, new business issues may be restricted by the advancement of research methods or models, making it difficult to estimate the effectiveness of research issues on sustanability. Thus, the use of apprpriate research methods and/or models to measure sustainable themes is our attention to call for papers for this special issue. In addition, the scope of this special issue is to discuss major trends and developments in a variety of disciplines as they apply to the sustainable environment, business, or organiszation. Therefore, the purpose of this special issue is to enhance the communications between authors and readers in order to ameliorate our views for the next sustainable generation in new business research methods and/or models. The potential author interested in this topic will provide ideas, views, and methods to consolidate existing, innovative, and interdisciplinary research in sustainable consumption and production. Our research focus could be one of the following topics:

1. Sustainable production, service design, or consumption.
2. Sustainable management on environment, business, or organization.
3. Sustanability on corporate social responsibility (CSR).
4. Sustanability on culture and/or Innovation.
5. Sustanability on tourism, hospitality or leisure.
6. Innovation method or model development on sustainability.
7. Other sustainable issues.

The Guest Editors welcome contributions from researchers and practitioners from around the world to contribute manuscripts for this special issue.

Dr. Shui Lien Chen
