The possibilities of companies how to reduce their emmisions
61-68Views:164The sustainability and its key element, the environmental awareness has been known for decades, however in general can be said that in the decision making the short term economic profit is still more dominant both on the individual and company levels. In last few years the rapid growth of CO2 emission is now not just risking the human life but the flora and fauna is in heavy danger. The concerns pay more attention on their short-term profits instead of the environmental protection. First of all with the change of the leadership attitude can reach the environmentally conscious organization that can support the reduction of the emissions, so the improvement of the atmospherical CO2 concentration. In my study I’m going to present what possibilities do the companies have to reduce their emissions and how these improvements could be harmonized with the profit interests (with the reduce of electricity-, water-, and gas consumption).

GONDOLATOK FENNTARTHATÓSÁGI SZÁMVITELRŐL ÉS TÁRSADALMI FENNTARTHATÓSÁGRÓL
Views:135The political prominence of sustainability and the scientific prominence of sustainability accounting go back nearly 40 years. While initially providing sustainable operations (at the corporate, state, and global levels) was just an opportunity, nowadays more and more binding laws are issued both from individual nations and communities of nations, forcing citizens and business organizations to take action in this direction. This article goes one step back and seeks to illustrate some contradictions, problems and limitations inherent in basic contexts. After the general presentation of the topic, the focus of this study shifts to the aspect of social sustainability, and within it to the question of equality.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND CHELLENGES FOR SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT (SLM)
31-37Views:126Special literature sources have been discussing the concept of sustainability and the feasibility options only for about three decades. Sustainable development has several definitions; it is defined both in narrow and wider sense. The definition of sustainability is regarded inevitable because the sustainability of agriculture can be interpreted only within this fixed conceptual framework. Our study is primarily dealing with issues of sustainability in farming practices being peculiar to countries, regions of the European Union. In frames of current research, we are providing the analysis of the ability to produce value added within the agricultural sector, the intensity of farming, the non-renewable external input use, farm structure as well as the European-level relations being directed towards the preservation of land productivity.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE STRATEGY FORMULATION PROCESS OF COMPANIES ECONOMIC GROWTH SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SUSTAINABILITY AND COMPETITIVENESS
39-48Views:284The study has thoroughly presented the classic and new trends of economic gr owth, and on this basis, it can be stated that this is a complex system, and its analysis is almost always relevant, mostly because of the rapidly changing global systems and networks of contacts. The economic growth is extremely important in the 21st cent ury as well, but with a new approach. Two very important factors appear: sustainability and social development. Albeit the economic growth and
the social development are in the opposite directions, not serving the basic idea of sustainable development at all. In this study, we aimed at portraying the complexity of this system and the range of factors influencing it. -
SUSTAINABILITY FAILURE: SOME CAUSES OF INACTION
1-7Views:198While the question of sustainability has received more and more attention and publicity in the past decades, all ecosystems services has been constantly deteriorating during the same period. There is an abyss between theory and rhetoric and meaningful and effective action. Our present-day socio-ecological crisis is the result of a distorted world view which in turn is caused by deep psychological mechanisms affecting the individual and the society. Recognizing these underlying mechanisms, making people aware of how they work might help change the suicidal course that the developed societies based on free market capitalism, neoliberal ideology and excessive consumerism has been on in the last two hundred years. This paper aims to discuss some of the obstacles that seem to have been hindering effective action.

Thoughts about the environmental flow – in terms of Dráva
100-106Views:104The importance of sustainability in today’s water management is unquestionable. Therefore, it is also recommended to apply the principle of sustainability in river management, such as it is the aim of the ongoing Ancient Dráva project. The term, environmental flow, intends to comprise a complex methodology not only from biophysical but also from a social angle; considering the different aspects of each method. Our target is to determine a possible holistic method which could be applied to the Dráva and its hungarian floodplain in oder to find a possible solution to the reconnection of the oxbow lakes into river mechanism. Our research is mainly based on hydrological data (Qmin, Qmax, Hmin, Hmax), but we will consider the special needs of the ecological environment, too.

SUSTAINABILITY: THE FAILURE AND THE BIGGEST QUESTION OF OUR AGE AND A POSSIBLE ANSWER
49-56Views:111Global sustainability efforts of the past decades have been unsuccessful. Humanity is still on track to worst case climate scenario, the Paris Climate Conference, labele d as historic by many, did not prove to be a real breakthrough. Several explanations have been proposed to account for inaction. Few, however, have addressed the question of how a change in world view could be induced in people.

The Importance of Urban Green Areas, the Examination of their Sustainability
29-33Views:120A common characteristic of areas covered by plants is that they play a special role in shaping the environmental endowments of the settlement. The significance of green areas is further increased by urbanisation. We have conducted our research in the settlements of Homokhátság that includes the peculiarities and values of green areas and the prospective plant taxa that can be used with a view to sustainability.

ESG among hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises
85-96Views:129Sustainability issues have become increasingly important in recent years in all areas of business. Regulations that were initially only mandatory for bigger, listed companies will in the future also apply to smaller and unlisted companies due to the expectations of supply chains, bank financing and other stakeholders. The aim of this study is to present the attitude of Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) towards sustainability criteria through secondary data collection. As a primary research, I used an online questionnaire to assess whether the management of Hungarian SMEs are aware of the ESG framework, to what extent they integrate sustainability criteria into their business activities, whether they are part of their business strategy, and how they relate to sustainability reporting. I will also take a look at the motivational factors behind the implementation of ESG considerations by Hungarian SMEs and the factors influencing disclosure practices.

Precision Farming as an Ecological Approach to Production?
19-25Views:117Ecology is ot en suppressed compared to produci vity, which makes us believe that economy is more important than ecology. With the growth of social need for traceability, food safety and food security, the trend is to turn away from conveni onal technologies. The ecological approaches all must cope with signifi cant loss of yield, which hinders their wide applicai on. Precision farming can be an opi on for the management to keep the high yield levels and decrease inputs at the same i me. The authors analyse, according to primary and secondary sources, precision farming compared to conveni onal and ecological farming to see the advantages and drawbacks of the diff erent technologies.

Analysis of practice of sustainability reports
43-52Views:218The responsibility of companies to reduce the negative effects of climate change is obvious. The transition from a traditional linear economy to a circular economy means an increasing burden on companies. Besides the adequate financial performance, more and more emphasis is being placed on environmental performance. This study examines the non-financial sustainability reporting practices of 20 companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The analysis used non-financial reports of companies with the highest market capitalization between 2020 and 2022. The analysis results support that the reports of environmentally sensitive companies are more extensive and detailed concerning investigated aspects. The details and length of the companies’ ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) reports increased during the three years examined. The environmental and social aspects of disclosed documents are more detailed for the banks, the oil extraction, and the telecommunication companies. In the company sample examined, it can be observed that most of the reports are prepared according to the GRI regulation. It can also be observed that the companies examined made more detailed and longer reports. The research results also support the fact that the aspects of the ESG report (E, S, G) also depend on the sector in which the companies operate.
