In current times of Space Boom, many companies and space agencies are working towards the development of space for common man. With the affordable space development and with the regulations still in its infancy there are a lot of opportunities towards disposal, debris and usage of sustainable materials. In this research, the authors are exploring a study towards sustainable materials used in space exploration. In addition, the authors are also exploring the various solutions and processes that are available in using them across space initiatives. The authors also explored the various systems in addition to the solutions that are used to address the materials and debris in space. The authors use the qualitative exploratory method to collect the data and explore the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the increasing environmental and social concerns worldwide, there has been a major shift in the reporting standards in the last decade. This has created a need to look more closely into the reporting issues to be addressed by a country like India. As part of its efforts to improve the Environment Social and Governance (ESG) disclosures, new criteria for sustainability reporting were introduced by SEBI. These reporting criteria which were to be followed by the Top - 1000 publicly listed companies, were termed as BRSR - "Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting". In this paper, the authors present discussions on the background and introduction of BRSR, the parameters of evolution of sustainability reporting from Business Responsibility Reporting (BRR) to BRSR, as well as the enhancements brought in by BRSR. The authors conducted an exploratory study that provides a comprehensive description of BRSR in India along with a critical overview of the various modifications from BRR to BRSR. We examined information disclosed in reports of the Committee on Business Responsibility Reporting, Sustainability Reporting Standards Board (The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India based). In their pursuit to be ethically, socially and environmentally responsible, the aim of the Indian companies is to reach higher disclosure levels with the BRSR implementation. BRSR seems comprehensive, globally relevant and is based on specific quantifiable metrics. This should help tell the holistic ESG story of each reporting company. While the 'proof of the pudding is in the eating', the Indian regulators are taking strong strides toward sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become important not only to corporations but to society and government as well. As a result, there has been a dramatic increase on how these corporations are informing and disclosing their social and environmental activities in which they are involved through their company annual reports. These annual reports are not only useful for companies but also to government, NGO's, society and many other stakeholders. In the past many of the annual reports were studied manually. But now with internet, there is a great opportunity to develop automation through software tools and techniques. Data Mining techniques and related techniques and softwares can help not only researchers but also corporations to extract text from multiple data sources like word processing documents as well as image documents like an image file or a PDF file. In this paper, the researchers first and designed the manual process and also performed the manual process of text extraction from annual reports. Having understood and performed the manual process the researchers analyzed the various tools and techniques available on net. They explored and analyze all the tools, scripts and software available on the net. The researchers analyzed through various parameters. The researchers developed a benchmarking model across all the tools and techniques after analyzing each of these software critically. These softwares were specifically analyzed for performance and feasibility and various parameters were evaluated within performance and feasibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For more than four decades, corporates were operating using the principle of "Maximizing Shareholder Value". With this principle, their focus was on profits and share prices, regardless of the consequences to other stakeholders like community, customers, labor force, suppliers and others. The free-market ideology of "Shareholder Primacy" was a key driver in Indian markets. In this paper, the researchers explore if Indian corporates are replacing "Shareholder Capitalism" with "Stakeholder Capitalism" and are striking the balance between stakeholders in allocating the profits and capital of an organization towards the society. The researchers revisit the time-tested popular narratives of capitalism and the predominant stakeholder in these narratives. In order to promote responsible and sustainable businesses for current and future generations, the researchers believe that the fine balance among stakeholders is the true constant and this balance can be achieved through communication and the principle of stakeholder communication can be meaningful principle of stakeholder capitalism. The researchers through a systematic review of literature and elucidation of major narratives, map the stakeholders of Indian corporates using annual reports and to confirm the resurgence of Stakeholder Capitalism.

The objective of this paper is to systematically review the literature to identify published measures on the use of online social networks as a medium for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In addition to social networks the literatures were also looked at social network analysis (SNA) in the area of CSR and Sustainability. To this end, the study was performed a systematic review of literature of online social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Searches were made from digital library of Amrita University and through online library database sources and references of eligible papers. We classified measures according to conceptual framework that underwent content validation with an expert panel. The purpose of the analysis, which aggregates the results of 250 recent empirical studies, published in the last 17 years, between 2000 and 2017, in the international literature on Social Media platforms and CSR and Sustainability. The literature review analysis also focuses on ratifying and exploring the existing underlying theories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
