Sustainability is a multidimensional (environmental, economic, cultural, social) and dynamic phenomenon, which has evolved over time according to non-linear trends. Circular economy responds to the desire for sustainable growth; it offers the option to apply the notion of sustainability to the global economic system through a structural change. The focus of businesses on sustainable development is reflected in several empirical research studies that have identified behavior differences in implementing sustainability policies. While the focus on sustainable development is stronger in large businesses, smaller enterprises seem to be more dedicated to improving occupational wellbeing. The aim of our research is to highlight the degree of depth of the analyses conducted in research studies on the themes of sustainability and circular economy taken together.

Abstract
Sustainability is a multidimensional (environmental, economic, cultural, social) and dynamic phenomenon, which has evolved over time according to non-linear trends. Circular economy responds to the desire for sustainable growth; it offers the option to apply the notion of sustainability to the global economic system through a structural change. The focus of businesses on sustainable development is reflected in several empirical research studies that have identified behavior differences in implementing sustainability policies. While the focus on sustainable development is stronger in large businesses, smaller enterprises seem to be more dedicated to improving occupational wellbeing. The aim of our research is to highlight the degree of depth of the analyses conducted in research studies on the themes of sustainability and circular economy taken together. The methodology used to achieve the objective of the research is content analysis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
