Assessing Hierarchical Corporate Sustainability Transition Practices Under Uncertainty: An Approach in the Port and Shipping Industry in Southeast Asia

扫码查看
The port and shipping industry in Southeast Asia has experienced significant development in response to theincreasing demand for maritime logistics and transportation services. However, this expansion has resulted in notablesocial and environmental impacts. Consequently, it is imperative for both scholars and practitioners to comprehend theconcept of corporate sustainability transition (CST), which entails the establishment of shipping operations that effectivelybalance environmental, social, and economic considerations. Additionally, technologies that are used to facilitatethe transition process must be investigated. Several studies have been undertaken to ascertain the attributes pertainingto sustainability transition. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of sufficient focus and consideration in performing acomprehensive and valid assessment of CST attributes, particularly in terms of their causal interrelationships. In fact,this analysis has been predominantly overlooked or disregarded. Therefore, this study builds a hierarchical frameworkto address these issues using linguistic preferences. Regarding the attributes, the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) is used toconfirm their validity. In nature, there are complex interrelationships among the attributes; hence, the fuzzy decisionmakingtrial and evaluation laboratory method (DEMATEL) is employed to visualize the interrelationships. The resultsreveal that stakeholder management, communication and cooperation are the most important influencing aspects.Research and development (R&D) promotion, environmental training, international treaties, shareholder value, andowner support are the top causal criteria that practitioners must improve to develop CST performance.
