Toward Social Disclosure Alignment: Evaluating the Interoperability of ISSB S2 with ESRS and GRI Standards

Árpád Tóth Péter Molnár Bence Lukács

Publication Name: Societies

Publication Date: 2025-10-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 10

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The evolution of sustainability reporting has led to an increased emphasis on environmental disclosures, often at the expense of social and governance dimensions. While frameworks such as the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) IFRS S2 standard offer important advances in climate-related transparency, they insufficiently address the broader social aspects of corporate sustainability performance. In response to this gap, this study investigates the interoperability of social disclosures across three major frameworks: ISSB S2, the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. Using a structured interoperability index, we systematically map and score the degree of thematic and structural alignment between these standards, focusing specifically on social disclosure topics. The analysis reveals moderate interoperability between ESRS and GRI social disclosures, but far lower alignment between ISSB S2 and either ESRS or GRI, confirming the ongoing underrepresentation of the social pillar within the ISSB framework. Connectivity ratios remain below 6% across all matrices, underscoring persistent fragmentation in global ESG reporting standards. These findings highlight the need for regulatory bodies and standard setters to advance harmonization efforts that equally prioritize environmental, social, and governance dimensions. By foregrounding the interoperability gaps in social disclosures, this study contributes to the academic debate on ESG convergence and informs policy discussions on developing multidimensional, stakeholder-responsive reporting architectures.

On the other Side of Technology: Examining of Different Behavior Patterns with Artificial Intelligence

Bernadett Domokos Zoltán Baracskai

Publication Name: Acta Polytechnica Hungarica

Publication Date: 2022-01-01

Volume: 19

Issue: 9

Page Range: 67-83

Description:

In this study, the initial problem is the capacity of the human mind to set up a conceptual model. The novelty of this article is that we show that defined concepts created by the human mind can be passed on to an artificial intelligence-based expert system. The expert system helps the human mind to settle the logical connections between the defined terms and the conceptual model thus the created model will be better than what man could have set up without an expert system. The appearance and role of employee turnover has become a more and more important factor in the daily business of corporate life. Scientific journals have examined the positive and negative effects of it, which has also provided useful knowledge for practitioners. These articles have examined the impact of employee turnover in countless aspects, but one aspect was the same in all literature: the impact of turnover on a company is not negligible and cannot be ignored in terms of neither material nor moral aspects. As a starting point for our research, we systematically reviewed the literature on employee turnover and selected six concepts that are bilaterally related to our phenomenon. Based on the terms and the correlation of it, we created a conceptual model that was examined with the help of an artificial intelligence-based system. To select a system, we reviewed the classifications of the artificial intelligence-based systems which can model human decision making and can help our research. Relying on the processing of the literature review articles, we selected and briefly characterized a rule-based reasoning system, and investigated the rule constellations of it, which can model the turnover cases as the topic of our study. Based on our experience in observing, consulting, and working with decision-makers, we examined the aspects of employee turnover phenomenon in the analysis and we constructed a three-level model that found logical relationships between each subcategory and was able to realistically reflect certain behavioral patterns of the physical workforce of a manufacturing company. The analysis was performed using a rule-based system, which used logical rules and found classical “if-then” connections in the employee behavior cases. According to our examination, our outcomes can provide credible results for further research activities as well as for practitioners.

Page Range: 64-69

Description:

Order picking is the most labor-intensive and costly activities in many warehouses by consuming ca. 60 % of the total operating expenses. Order picking development strategies mostly concentrate on warehouse layout, storage assignment policy, routing, zoning and on batching methods, while the physical parameters of the products - which are hardly ever taken into account - do also have a significant impact on the processes. Researchers of the pallet-loading problem could provide a wider horizon on considerable parameters, but their results are rarely implemented into order picking processes. In order to design a successful and optimal order picking system, considering all influential parameters is inevitable, since all of them are strongly connected to each other. This paper introduces an interactive training and modeling tool, which allows us to model, test, analyze and to evaluate order picking algorithms by taking numerous influencing factors into consideration. We describe an application of the simulation environment designed for highlighting the importance of physical product parameters in order picking performance.

Long-term trends in the corrosion state and surface properties of the stainless steel tubes of steam generators decontaminated chemically in VVER-type nuclear reactors

D. Oravetz Gábor Patek Bernadett Baja P. Kádár N. A. Szabó Varga Kálmán Zoltán Németh Schunk János Z. Homonnay E. Kuzmann

Publication Name: Corrosion Science

Publication Date: 2009-12-01

Volume: 51

Issue: 12

Page Range: 2831-2839

Description:

At some VVER-type pressurized water nuclear reactors (Russian-type PWR) different versions of the so-called AP-CITROX method have been widely used for the chemical decontamination of the heat exchanger tubes of steam generators. In the period of 2000-2007, within the frame of a joint-project dealing with the comprehensive investigation of the corrosion state of the steam generators of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant, Hungary, effects of the AP-CITROX chemical decontamination procedure on the corrosion and surface characteristics of the heat exchanger tubes have been studied. These studies provide evidences that some adverse features (formation of a "hybrid" layer with accelerated corrosion rate and great mobility) can be detected after 1-3 years of applying the AP-CITROX procedure. The present work is a continuation of the above program and focused on the long-term trends in the corrosion state and structure of protective oxide-layer grown on the decontaminated surfaces. The results of electrochemical (voltammetric), surface analytical (SEM-EDX, CEMS) and mobility (ICP-OES) studies have revealed that (1) some beneficial changes in the corrosion characteristics, mobility and chemical composition of the inner surfaces of decontaminated heat exchanger tubes can be observed in the long run, and (2) the passivity of the oxide-layers formed on decontaminated surfaces of steel tubes exhibits favorable tendency after 4-7 years under normal operation conditions. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Description:

Small tokamaks may significantly contribute to the better understanding of phenomena in a wide range of fields such as plasma confiement and energy transport; plasma stability in different magnetic configurations; plasma turbulence and its impact on local and global plasma parameters; processes at the plasma edge and plasmaawall interaction; scenarios of additional heating and nonainductive current drive; new methods of plasma profile and parameter control; development of novel plasma diagnostics; benchmarking of new numerical codes and so on. Furthermore, due to the compactness, flexibility, low operation costs and high skill of their personnel small tokamaks are very convenient to develop and test new materials and technologies. Small tokamaks are suitable and important for broad international cooperation, providing the necessary environment and manpower to conduct dedicated joint research programmes. In addition, the experimental work on small tokamaks is very appropriate for the education of students, scientific activities of postagraduate students and for the training of personnel for large tokamaks. The first Joint (Host Laboratory) Experiment (JE1) has been carried out in 2005 on the CASTOR tokamak at the IPP Prague, Czech Republic. It was jointly organized by the IPPaASCR and KFKI HAC, Budapest, involved 20 scientists from 7 countries and was supported through the IAEA and the ICTP, Trieste. The objective of JE1 was to perform studies of plasma edge turbulence and plasma confinement. Following the success of JE1, JE2 has been performed on Ta10 at RRC "Kurchatov Institute" in Moscow; 30 scientists from 13 countries participated in this experiment. This experiment aimed to continue JE1 turbulence studies, now extending them to the plasma core. Results of JE1 and JE2 will be overviewed and compared. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.

Máté Hegyháti Balazs David Olivér Osz

Publication Name: Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Operational Research in Slovenia Sor 2021

Publication Date: 2021-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 321-326

Description:

An important phase in most waste wood value chains is the processing of bulk waste from various sources, usually by means of shredding. This paper presents a method for scheduling the machines in such a waste wood processing facility, where incoming deliveries of different types of wood are processed by a series of treatment and transformation steps to produce shredded wood. A mathematical model is presented for the problem, that allows overlaps between consecutive steps to optimize resource flow through the system. The efficiency of the model is presented on randomly generated instances.

Characterization of Model Uncertainty Features Relevant to Model Predictive Control of Lateral Vehicle Dynamics

Gabor Rodonyi Dániel Pup Ádám Kisari Zsombor Vigh Alexandros Soumelidis József Bokor

Publication Name: 2020 23rd IEEE International Symposium on Measurement and Control in Robotics Ismcr 2020

Publication Date: 2020-10-15

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The information about a system's dynamics represented by measurement data sets are often confined to regions of restricted operations where the system is not sufficiently excited for model identification purposes. Experiments performed in closed-loop with safety constraints allow only for reduced order modeling. In the paper, a set of low order models are identified from real experimental data of the lateral dynamics of an electric passenger car. Low order models are advantageous for on-line computation in model-based control, though uncertainty due to neglected dynamics may deteriorate control performance and constraint satisfaction. The effect of uncertainty is analyzed by controller cross-validation where a controller designed based on one model is evaluated on other models playing the role of the true system. This method allows us to qualify not only model-controller pairs, but to determine the properties of input data and model uncertainty, which lead to more useful data sets, more robust and better performing controllers than the others.

Traditional or alternative wine packaging: a study of consumer choices and perceptions

Boglárka Eisingerné Balassa Agnes Csiba-Herczeg Réka Koteczki

Publication Name: International Journal of Urban Sciences

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: 29

Issue: 1

Page Range: 314-331

Description:

Sustainability concerns in the wine sector have resulted in alternative types of wine packaging to traditional glass packaging. This article examines the impact of cultural heritage and environmental awareness on consumer behaviour and purchasing decisions in relation to wine packaging. To investigate this, a wine tasting experiment was carried out on a sample of 211 people in the city of Pécs, in Hungary, to assess consumers’ perceptions, taste perceptions and purchase propensity for 7 types of wine packaging. In order to measure the effect of each type of packaging, the same wine was poured into the same types of packaging. The aim of the experiment was to identify consumers’ attitudes towards traditional packaging and their preferences for alternative options. The results were analysed using factor analysis to identify 2 factor groups for each pack, which were validated using Bartlett's Test and Chi-squared Test. The results show that packaging style and traditionality have a significant impact on consumer preferences, especially for alternatives such as bag-in-box or pouch, which are completely different from the traditional glass bottle. In the case of PET bottles, the packaging itself has a strong explanatory power, which may be explained by its similarity in form to the glass bottle. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that with the help of the we were able to measure the effect of different wine packaging, alongside the role of cultural traditions. Based on the results, it is proposed that wine industry stakeholders should raise consumer awareness of the benefits of environmentally friendly packaging alternatives and take measures to reduce the environmental impact of traditional glass bottles.
