Addressing the challenges of managing and monitoring biodiversity in High Conservation Value areas and High Carbon Stock forests within oil palm landscapes

Sarah A. Scriven, Robby B. Butarbutar, Rosanne E. deVos et al.

Abstract Corporate commitments to biodiversity protection are difficult to achieve due to limited knowledge of effective conservation strategies and insufficient attention to the social challenges involved in fulfilling these commitments. We explore these concerns in tropical oil palm landscapes focusing specifically on the commitment of members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) to meeting environmental sustainability standards relating to maintaining or enhancing High Conservation Values (HCVs) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) forests. Prior to developing new plantations, the RSPO requires that baseline assessments are conducted by licensed assessors to identify HCV and HCS forest areas for protection. Growers then develop management actions to mitigate threats to these HCV and HCS forest areas and preserve the conservation values and carbon stocks within them. We investigated the challenges that growers face in achieving these environmental sustainability commitments by carrying out online surveys and interviews of plantation managers (18 participants from 12 oil palm companies in Malaysia and Indonesia). We used findings from our survey and interview questions to make recommendations for improvements in managing and monitoring biodiversity within oil palm landscapes. Practical implication. Drawing on findings from our surveys and interviews, integrated with our knowledge of current policy and practice, we make 15 recommendations to help support biodiversity conservation, focused around four themes: (A) respecting human rights, including the rights to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) and to participation in decision‐making processes that affect people's rights; (B) standardising biodiversity metrics, with guidance on measuring biodiversity and analysing data on species trends, recognising that local biodiversity is highly dynamic; (C) building management and monitoring capacity and buy‐in from oil palm companies through training and sharing of best practices; and (D) improving sustainability processes by incorporating information into monitoring and adaptive management systems, and creating open, transparent and standardised processes for regular reporting. We hope our recommendations will encourage the implementation of evidence‐based practices that respect rights and incorporate local community perspectives, leading to better protection of biodiversity in oil palm landscapes in the long term.

The mediating effects of work motivation and organizational support on the relationship between knowledge management and environmental law knowledge in Vietnamese commercial banks

Ha Nguyen Son, Hai Phan Thanh

Type of the article: Research Article This study examines whether knowledge management practices in commercial banks influence employees’ knowledge of environmental law, providing empirical evidence from Vietnam’s banking sector as an emerging Asian economy. Data were collected from 568 employees across 35 Vietnamese commercial banks in the first quarter of 2025, and the hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that all three knowledge management components (information-sharing systems, a learning-oriented organizational culture, and training and skill development) have positive effects on both work motivation and perceived organizational support. Information-sharing systems exert a strong influence on organizational support (β = 0.188) and work motivation (β = 0.207), while a learning-oriented culture significantly enhances organizational support (β = 0.204) and work motivation (β = 0.165). Training and skill development show the strongest effects on work motivation (β = 0.240) and organizational support (β = 0.185). In turn, work motivation and organizational support directly and positively affect employees’ environmental law knowledge (β = 0.343 and β = 0.363, respectively). Moreover, both variables significantly mediate the relationships between KM components and environmental law knowledge. These findings underscore the relevance of social exchange theory in explaining how effective knowledge management practices enhance employees’ legal knowledge, thereby contributing to more sustainable organizational development. Accordingly, practical implications are proposed for bank managers to strengthen knowledge management implementation.

Multi-Objective Optimization for Assessing Tradeoffs Between Energy Sharing and Ancillary Services in Local Energy Communities

Pierluigi Siano, Mohammad Dolatabadi, Hassan Haes Alhelou et al.

Recent Italian regulation rewards Local Energy Communities (LECs) through two distinct channels: an incentive for virtual shared energy and market access for distributed batteries that provide up-regulation. These incentives often conflict, as charging batteries to maximize the shared energy limits the capacity to provide ancillary services, and vice versa. Currently, quantitative tools for effectively balancing these objectives are lacking respecting the electrical constraints of the low-voltage grid. To fill this gap, a multi-objective optimization is proposed that co-maximizes the revenue from up-regulation and the virtual shared energy reward, under the constraint that the daily energy bill does not exceed a predefined baseline. The implemented mathematical programming formulation utilizes multi-objective second-order cone programming (SOCP) with linear constraints to incorporate the network's physical constraints. Linearization and decomposition techniques are employed to simplify the problem. By adjusting the physical constraints of the network, the impact of energy communities on the distribution network can also be evaluated with different objectives. The model allows the representation of real peer-to-peer trading, quantifying its effects on both revenue streams and voltage profiles as well as power losses. Trade-off analyses performed on an 84-bus radial distribution network, under both constant and variable prices, show that the framework adapts smoothly to market volatility, highlighting when it is advantageous to prioritize up-regulation and when it becomes preferable to maximize the virtual shared energy incentive.

Internet of Things in Automotive Safety

Kodym Oldřich, Kavka Libor, Hrouda Matěj et al.

The principles and practices of Industry 4.0 are increasingly promoted across all areas of management and control. Effective control relies on having the right information and knowledge in the right place, at the right time, and in the appropriate structure. The implementation of Industry 4.0 procedures contributes to addressing information gaps, creating conditions for ensuring optimal decision-making support at all levels, from real-time control of production processes, through the level of tactical management to long-term strategic development management. The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a significant (r)evolution in data acquisition and data quality. Collected data is transmitted to information systems at relevant levels, verified, pre-processed, and presented in a suitable format for various management/control levels. The article reflects typical examples of how IoT enhances the quality of individual sub-processes (logistics), which can have a significant impact on the safety of transport processes. The primary focus is on road transport, but the study also considers its role in the field of interaction of transport within production processes. The authors conclude that automation of data collection from processes, leveraging information and communication technologies have a significant impact specifically on transport process.

Understanding Market Actors’ Perspectives on Agri-Food Data Sharing: Insights from the Digital Food Passports Pilot in Poland

Katarzyna Kosior, Paulina Młodawska

This study examines market actors’ perspectives on agri-food data sharing within traceability- and transparency-oriented digital systems, which are crucial for enhancing sustainable food supply chains. Drawing on the ‘Digital Food Passports’ pilot in Poland, the research aimed to identify factors influencing market actors’ willingness to share data to provide reliable and comprehensive information on the origin, journey, and quality of agri-food products. Through thematic analysis, key motivators and barriers to stakeholder engagement were identified. Findings highlight the necessity of a clear value proposition for all actors within the production and distribution chain to invest resources and time in additional data-exchange systems. For farmers, reducing burdensome reporting procedures and providing direct financial incentives were key motivators. Agri-food processing, transport, and packaging companies viewed data collaboration as a practical tool to ensure high-quality raw materials and promote premium-priced food. Appropriate data management policies were critical for all stakeholders. While sustainability was recognized as important, opportunities for collaboration going beyond economic considerations were not widely explored. Additionally, concerns about how data will be interpreted—even among producers demonstrating sustainable practices—emerged as a significant issue, a topic not extensively discussed in the existing literature. These findings underscore the need for data-sharing strategies that better align economic benefits with broader sustainability goals. Further research should also explore strategies to mitigate concerns over data misinterpretation to encourage greater involvement in data-sharing initiatives.

Niloofar Khoshnam‐Rad, Marsa Gholamzadeh, Mehrnaz Asadi Gharabaghi et al.

Abstract Background and Aim The COVID‐19 pandemic forced healthcare systems to apply new technology‐based solutions. The main objective of our study was to describe the conceptual model for rapid implementation of telepharmacy service and the main steps that should be considered. Method In response to a limited number of on‐site clinical pharmacy specialists and a lack of technology infrastructure, a cross‐sectional telepharmacy program was established to support major teaching hospitals. A store and forward model of teleconsultation was employed using WhatsApp messenger to cover various aspects of multidisciplinary collaboration in COVID‐19 management. All identifiable personal information was removed from all exchanged messages of collaborative consultations. The thematic analysis of consultations was performed to extract the main themes and subthemes that should be considered for designing future telepharmacy systems. Results Through telepharmacy service, 600 intensive care unit teleconsultations for COVID‐19 cases were conducted in the residence center and nonresidence centers. In total, 1200 messages were exchanged between specialists in 3 months. The average time taken to respond to a message was 1.30 h. Thematic analysis revealed four main concepts and 15 subconcepts that should be considered in telepharmacy consultations for COVID‐19 management. Based on the extracted themes, a conceptual model for developing a telepharmacy program was devised. Conclusion The results showed that by utilizing telehealth, clinical pharmacists could cover critically ill patients who need pharmacotherapy counseling through interdisciplinary collaboration. Moreover, the main features of our service that are represented through this survey can be employed by other researchers for developing telepharmacy services.
