Design Options for Sustainable and Open Business Models: A Taxonomy-Based Analysis

The imperative for decarbonization forces businesses to transform their business models (BMs) and to adopt Sustainable Business Models which focus on creating value sustainably. In the context of Sustainable Business Model Innovation, maintaining close relationships within ecosystems is crucial to ensure a sustainable transformation while preserving competitiveness. As corporate boundaries become more transparent, the importance of external resources increases, leading to a shift from closed to open business models (OBM). In OBMs, stakeholders, including customers, actively co-create innovation and value creation. Our research investigates how integrating these approaches can shape BMs that effectively address decarbonization drivers and tackle the required business model innovation. We conducted a structured literature review to develop a taxonomy that outlines 64 design options across nine dimensions for sustainable, open BMs. In conclusion, this study provides sustainable and open design options, classified into detailed taxonomies. The practical applicability of this taxonomy was demonstrated through a use case classification, providing a foundation for companies and further research into designing and implementing these BMs in the context of decarbonization.

Analysis of the quality of sustainability reports published by Brazilian companies: An analytic hierarchy process‐grey clustering approach

AbstractThis paper aims to assess the extent to which Brazilian companies adhere to the accuracy, balance, clarity, comparability, reliability, and timeliness criteria recommended by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. A survey was conducted with experts in sustainability reporting with extensive experience in the Brazilian corporate context. The analytic hierarchy process was employed to assign weights to the criteria, and a grey fixed weight clustering model was proposed to analyze the collected data. Clarity and accuracy received the highest weights, which is concerning given the quality observed in sustainability reports. A lower emphasis on timeliness in sustainability reporting reflects many companies' publishing practices, prompting more efficient reporting. The majority of respondents perceive the quality of information in sustainability reports from Brazilian companies as falling within the medium maturity range, suggesting significant room for enhancement. The originality of this study lies both in the methodological approach, which combines multicriteria decision techniques capable of incorporating uncertainty related to data on sustainability reports, as well as in the results that provide information for improving sustainability reporting practices. The findings provide a foundation for companies and policymakers to enhance sustainability reporting, particularly in developing nations, promoting transparency, accountability, and international standard compliance.
