FUTURE PROJECTS

ESG and Industry 4.0 Technologies: A Study on Business Sustainability in the Manufacturing Sector

Corporate sustainability has become an essential element for organizational success, requiring practices that combine economic growth with environmental and social responsibility. In this context, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) metrics have emerged as a strategic tool to guide sustainable investments and assess organizational performance.At the same time, Industry 4.0 technologies have proven to be promising in promoting more sustainable practices and enabling the measurement of ESG metrics through advanced technological resources. However, although there is evidence of synergy between ESG and Industry 4.0 technologies, the scientific literature still presents a significant gap in studies that explore this relationship in depth, highlighting an important opportunity for further investigation.Therefore, the main objective of this study is to understand the influence of Industry 4.0 technologies employed by the manufacturing sector on corporate sustainability.
