This study aims to test empirically whether the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) has a positive effect on Sustainability Reporting (SR) and whether the ACGS and Sustainability Reporting (SR) have a positive effect on Firm Value (FV). The study was conducted in five ASEAN countries - Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Thailand from 2014 - 2017. The research sample was collected from companies with the ACGS data and obtained with the help of 359 company observations. Hypothesis testing was performed using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The results of the study do not support all hypotheses. The ACGS has no effect on sustainability reporting. The ACGS has a significant negative effect on firm value, while sustainability reporting has a negative and insignificant effect on firm value. The ACGS and sustainability reporting are not good news for investors. This research's limitation is that companies rarely disclose the final value of the ACGS in their annual reports, so this research uses content analysis. The weakness of content analysis is the researchers' subjectivity so that the point of view between researchers is different. Besides, sustainability reporting for several ASEAN countries is voluntary, so not all companies can be sampled, which ultimately affects interpretation.

The aim of this study is to propose the design suitable for sustainability evaluation model of the mobile industry considering system process (SEP). Although a quantitative evaluation was conducted on the link between the national sustainability report and the mobile industry, it was confirmed that it was difficult to identify stakeholders. So it is necessary to develop the design process suitable for the more operator-specific interfaces. The Human System Integration (HSI) methodology was proposed through linkage with work domain analysis. Agile methodology and Resilience engineering methodology were added for sustainable model design. The proposed sustainability system evaluation model is applied so that it can be easily used in all industries.

This paper is intended to measure sectoral sustainabilities and inter-industry linkage effects of natural capital depletion of the Korean industries, and to analyze sources of their change over time using the familiar input-output model. The sustainability indicator that we are measuring in this paper is based on the so-called genuine saving concept proposed by the World Bank(1997). We accommodated the concept in the extended analytical framework of Proops et al.(1999) to analyze sectoral sustainabilities of the Korean industries. We decomposed sectoral sustainabilities so measured into their composing factors based on the decomposition method devised by Chung & Rhee (2001). According to our analysis, overall sustainability of the Korean industries has been declined since 1995. In heavy and chemical, transportation, and electricity sectors, their sustainabilities has been gotten worse. Among four major factors influencing the sustainability, change in GDP was the most important followed by changes in savings, industrial structures, and demand patterns.

Education for Sustainable Development(ESD) is inclined to become popular topics in EE related debates, almost similar to populism, with declaration of UNESCO's Decade OF ESD (DESD). However we can't avoid that development in ESD practically means economic linear progress. Basically UN's declaration is to accomplish worldly task on human civilization, social & environmental problems, including ESSD. ESD is also important means for practicing ESSD, which has proved to be failure since Brutrant Report, owing to uncertain recognition of sustainability which should be something figured out by their surrounding circumstance or the conditions following its community culture, all same around the world. In this circumstance, we need certain identification on ESD globally recognized, no matter with the developing level of economy. But sustainability is usually managed or controlled by economically powered countries, by improving relatively under-development countries's economic conditions for equity. They believe under-development countries's env. problems can't be resolved without securing of economic equity. Under-development countries's economic equity can be come true ? even by another economic super powers. It really means just controlling or management by them. These all controlling process can't secure under-development countries's sustainability. Because it is not something just controlled, characterized as growing up by self-supporting system of ethnic or regional communities. So identification of sustainability in here is , not . Following its identification, we should discuss ESD, and furthermore for real ESD, there is powerful need to change it into ESE (Education for Sustainability & its Economy) to reflect this co-conceptional approach to ESD. And also we need to distinguish the educational contents boundaries among ESD and EE for this. Basically existing EE has been dealing with pollution-oriented or its related social comprehensive subjects, so it seems that EE is not familiar and harmony with ESD contents, however in alternative case I propose in this paper, changing into ESE, it could include almost all of ESD subjects, furthermore practically EE might be same with ESE.

이 논문은 지속가능한 발전(또는 개발)에서 지속가능성 개념을 생태윤리적인 측면에서 지속가능성이 가지는 의미를 분석해보고, 생태윤리에서 지속가능성의 특징을 제시하고 있다. 생태적 지속가능성에 대한 논의에서 우선 지속성과 변화를 대립의 관계로 보는 것이 아니라 서로 중첩될 수 있는 관계로 보아야 하며, 생태적 지속성에서 '생태적'의 의미는 관계성으로 이해되어야 한다. 지속성이란 변화하는 어떤 것과 그것의 변화하지 않는 것과의 관계로 규정된다고 하겠다. 그리고 생태적 지속가능성이란 변화하는 생태계를 구성하는 존재(혹은 존재자들의 관계)와 그것의 변화하지 않는 생태계 존재 전체(내지 총체적 관계)의 관계라고 정의 내려져야 한다. 따라서 생태적 지속가능성에서는 인간과 생태계라는 두 축의 관점에서 상호의존성(network), 지속성(sustainablity), 책임성(responsibility)의 3 요소, 즉 인간과 자연의 상호의존, 생태적 관계의 지속, 그리고 이에 대한 인간의 책임이 중요하다. 그리고 생태적 지속가능성의 의미에서 존재와 존재관계의 지속, 변화하는 지속가능성, 존재의 비존재에 대한 우위, 생명들 간의 연대성에 의거한 상호의존성이 중시되어야 할 가치가 된다.

This paper explores the ways by which the authority concerned with nuclear energy policy-making in Korea can strengthen its organisational sustainability from long-term perspective. In doing so, it applies the system dynamics approach to predict what would happen to the organisational sustainability of the nuclear energy authority in the future. In the process of analysis, it also draws causal loop map of components contained in the simulation model and constructs user-interface simulation model. It shows different predicted future values regarding organisational sustainability of the nuclear energy authority in Korea and puts forward some policy implications for practitioners and academics involved in nuclear energy policy.

Along with the uprising of sustainability issues in the field of business and management, firms increasingly strategize and mobilize resources towards sustainability related activities and processes much more than ever. Together with this phenomenon, the concept of corporate sustainability has been noticed much more by scholars and practitioners from diverse fields. However, differently with an expectation, it is undoubted that there is a small controversy when we treat the issues related to its definition, antecedents, consequences, processes and so on. Based on this kind of understanding, this study tries to suggest and advance a new approach to the corporate sustainability based on the premises of social capital theory for social relations, which explains the role of institutions, and norms that shape firms 'social interactions. Main argument is that firm's voluntary, progressive, and proactive activities for sustainability issues can be understood as the firm's social capital building processes. Though there are a little existing study dealing with this issue, this study has a difference with them by proposing social capital building issues based on firm's real activities. Finally, case analyses based on a new approach are suggested and the theoretical considerations with some limitations are explained.

Purpose - As globalization progresses, complexity also increases, and various factors that threaten port functions are emerging. Accordingly, the demand for port security to prevent the crisis and resilience that quickly recovers its original function after the crisis is also increasing in port operations. However, few studies have examined how to ensure the port security and how the resilience affects operation performance of port and sustainability performance as well. So the study aims to find out how port security affects port resilience and port operational performance, and consequently, this two factors affect socioeconomic and environmental sustainability performance respectively and synthetically. Design/methodology - Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was first performed to determine the validity of the factors of model and hypothesis test was performed using Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyze the Port Performance Model, which show the perception logic among port security level, port resilience, operation performance, and sustainability performance. In order to empirically analyze this model, total 264 respondents from port security operators, shipping companies in South Korea were surveyed. Findings - As result of SEM, First, port security level positively affected the resilience (H1) and cargo operational performance (H2) but not in both of the sustainability performances (H3, H4). Second, resilience positively affected only cargo operational performance (H5) and socio-economic sustainability performance (H7). Last, cargo operation performance positively affects the both of sustainability performances (H8, H9). Originality/value - It was confirmed that port security could improve cargo operational performance through ensuring port resilience and eventually increase the socio-economic sustainability. Therefore the study implies that careful integration and management of port security, port resilience, and sustainability are required, along with compromise on sustainable development goals in the social, economic, and environmental area among all stakeholders.
