Inequality and social justice are key issues in a context marked by endemic interconnectedness. However, traditional accounts of social justice deploy explanatory frameworks that are state bound. By contrast, it is argued that globalisation has led to the emergence and entrenchment of forms and structures of power and influence that operate beyond and across national boundaries and that are capable of perpetrating inequity and injustice. In response theorists have begun to argue for the need to recognise the demands of social justice in non-state territorial contexts. Whilst extant theories offer a high level of abstraction, we ground these theories by examining the global labour market for seafarers as an example of a multinational workforce operating in a global context. The paper offers a detailed examination of these workers raising a global social justice claim within an international forum. In so doing we argue that this case leads to a significant problematisation of global social justice as an empirical phenomenon and conceptual object; one that escapes extant theoretical resources. In conclusion we highlight conceptual and pragmatic issues associated with theorising and realising global social justice, and the role that sociology has to play in this endeavour.

The article reveals the main issues related to the management of publishing and printing companies in the current conditions of economic development. The enterprises of the publishing and printing complex are considered as objects of investment. The basic functions of management, such as planning, organization, motivation, analysis, control are defined. Modern enterprises, which meet the needs of consumers and meet their economic interests, along with the classic tasks perform a number of socially significant functions that do not provide direct capitalization, but become a prerequisite for competitiveness. Thus, the implementation of social projects requires additional costs and is not for profit, adherence to the principles of green economy does not always have an economic benefit for the company, but requires investment. In this way, the management of enterprises becomes more open, externally oriented, and the focus shifts from the economic purpose of functioning to the social mission of the business entity. This fully corresponds to the enterprises of the publishing and printing industry, which is not a priority sector of the national economy, but is attractive to investors as one that is associated with the formation, use, development of intellectual capital. We analyzed the general management methods used in publishing and printing companies, the results of which established a number of features. Economic management methods are more developed in medium-sized enterprises, which in their work are guided by the provisions on bonuses. The payment of bonuses in small businesses is unsystematic due to the unstable amount of funding, and depends on the decision of the head of the distribution of funds between different areas of development, which negatively affects the motivation to work. At the same time, to increase the level of social protection of workers, printing companies are introducing an hourly form of wages for workers, which helps to stabilize wages in underemployment. To ensure the competitiveness of printing production, it is advisable to ensure the efficiency of production by improving operational and calendar planning, the use of parallel or combined cycle, automation of orders, improving quality control in preparation for printing, development of logistics capacity, focus on high level of services.

The main goal of the article is the efficiency justification of energy-efficient house (EEH) from the different points of view: economic, ecological and social. In this case, the EEH under the green economy context was considered by the authors. In addition, according to the Ukrainian ongoing condition, the key preconditions of EEH implementation among the Ukrainian households were allocated. Besides, the main approaches to define EEH are analyzed and systematized by the authors. On this basis, the main bullet points and features of EEH were indicated. The authors determined the EEH opportunities for spreading among the Ukrainian households. It should be noted, that the lack of awareness among the civil society provokes the slow temp of the EEH enlarging in Ukraine. At the same time, the European experience showed that the huge part of their households can be characterized as energy-effective. With the purpose of understand the efficiency of EEH, the authors had estimated the economic benefits of installed solar collector in the household as one of the parts of EEH. According to the results, the authors allocate the restraining factors of the EEH spreading in Ukraine. Thus, the great payback period is one of them. In addition, the high level of the currency rate has negative impact on the payback period. From the other side the continuously increasing of the utility bills have been indicated as a negative stimulate factor. In order to increase the awareness of the EEH benefits under the Ukrainian civil society, the main economic, ecological and social benefits of EEH were systematized by the authors.

The relationship between the disclosure of environmental information in corporate reports and the interest of investors is difficult to justify due to the subjective assessment of the data communicated. The article discusses how the depth of environmental information disclosure in Russian companies’ reports estimated using the authors’ dictionary (taxonomy)1 affects their investment attractiveness. Methodologically, the study rests on the concepts of green economy, behavioral finance and corporate social responsibility. The main research methods are textual and cluster analysis. Annual reports of 60 Russian listed companies for 10 years constitute the empirical base of the present work. The authors divide the period under examination (2015–2018) into two clusters. The first one is comprised companies with a high level of environmental information disclosure and relatively low investment attractiveness; the second cluster embraces companies with a low level of information disclosure, but high investment attractiveness. Despite the fact that the composition of the first cluster changes every year, it inalterably includes organizations engaged in chemical, metallurgical, energy and mining sectors. In each cluster, there is a constant increase in the level of environmental information disclosure, which may be caused by the tightening of legal requirements. However, no statistically significant relationship between the level of environmental information disclosure and the investment attractiveness of a company was found, which might be due to the absence of significant changes in investment attractiveness of companies in each cluster over time.

Rapid urbanization is one of the most significant global trends in an increasingly interconnected world. This means a new global approach to assessing the role of cities in the economy, climate change, use and consumption of natural resources as well as their contribution to social and innovative development. Globalization and large-scale urbanization, combined with smart technologies, are rapidly changing the world around us, the structure of economic activity and the way people live. After the publication in 1987 the report “Our Common Future” by the UN World Commission on Environment and Development, the conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and other international initiatives by 2008 declarations, framework directives, strategies and methodologies for sustainable development and the creation of “green” economy were adopted. Taking into account the historically high level of urbanization in our country (70.08% of the population lives in cities) [1], in recent years, legislative instruments of the local (city) level, aimed at using the tools of integrated territorial planning, have begun to form. The article describes the experience of urban territorial planning practices in Novogrudok, Polotsk, Novopolotsk and Brest for which local strategic documents of a new type have now been developed: “Green Urban Development Plans” and the Concept of Smart Sustainable Development.
