A Dynamic Business Modeling Approach to Port Sustainability: The Western Sicily Port Authority Case

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ports are critical nodes in global trade and economic development, yet they generate substantial environmental and social externalities—including greenhouse gas emissions, air, noise, and water pollution, and adverse impacts on host communities—that demand integrated and forward‐looking governance.
