This paper proposes a network-based method for online portfolio selection that incorporates ESG scores. It leverages machine learning to integrate ESG criteria into investment decisions, offering a dynamic approach to sustainable portfolio …

Edward I. Altman, Francesco Baldi, Claudia D'Ippolito +1

This study develops a novel ESG rating model called Z-ESG, applying Altman's Z-score logic to environmental, social, and governance indicators. Using discriminant analysis and logistic regression on 325 European listed firms, it produces ES…

This paper reviews AI tools that enable sustainability governance in multi-tier supply chains. It categorizes existing tools, identifies gaps, and helps low-resource users (SMEs, lower-tier suppliers) access solutions. The evaluation covers…

Berra Öz, Ali Hakan Işık

This paper analyzes the use of large language models (LLMs) in sustainability reporting, focusing on the performance comparison of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and low-rank adaptation (LoRA) techniques. It evaluates their effectiven…

This paper proposes an auditable governance framework for sustainable and fair e-commerce using AI. It integrates packaging waste, last-mile emissions, return rates, accessibility, and ESG disclosure into four layers: material circularity, …

Alistair Vance, Sora Tanaka, Mateo Benitez

This paper proposes a four-layer governance framework for sustainable e-commerce, using AI as an auditable decision-support layer for packaging waste, last-mile emissions, high return rates, accessibility, and ESG disclosure. The layers cov…

This paper proposes a governance framework for sustainable and fair e-commerce, integrating packaging, circular logistics, accessibility, and ESG disclosure with auditable intelligence (AI).

İsmail Öğütçen, Ümit Yılmaz

This study examines whether ESG rating disagreement predicts corporate greenwashing and how digital transformation (DTI) moderates this via disclosure and performance channels. Using 8,111 firm-year observations of Chinese A-share companies…

Hieu Thanh Nguyen, Hoa Minh Pham, Anh Thao Nguyen +1

This study examines the relationship between ESG disclosure and corporate tax avoidance among Vietnamese non-financial listed firms (2020-2024). Using panel data regression and machine learning models, it finds that ESG disclosure reduces t…
