Abstract

Environmental efficiency is a pillar of overall sustainable efficiency, where the capacity to regulate carbon dioxide emissions serves as a key constraint on sustainable port development. Consequently, amid the global transition toward sustainable port operations, improving environmental performance alongside environmental governance capabilities is imperative to ensure long‐term operational viability. Applying a two‐stage data envelopment analysis methodology, this paper examines 12 major trading ports in South Korea, delineating the sustainable port development process into a waste management stage and an environmental efficiency stage. The results inform that South Korean ports generally fare well on waste management efficiency, but not on environmental efficiency, leaving room for improvement in overall sustainable efficiency. These findings provide a reference for port decision makers and policymakers in formulating targeted decarbonization and green transition frameworks.

港口可持续发展的废物管理：两阶段数据包络分析

环境效率是整体可持续效率的支柱，而管理二氧化碳排放的能力是港口可持续发展的关键制约因素。因此，在全球向可持续港口运营过渡的过程中，提高环境绩效和环境治理能力是确保长期运营可行性的必要条件。本文采用两阶段数据包络分析方法，考察了韩国12个主要贸易港口，将可持续港口发展过程划分为废物管理阶段和环境效率阶段。结果表明，韩国港口在废物管理效率方面总体表现良好，但在环境效率方面表现不佳，这为整体可持续效率的提高留下了空间。这些发现为港口决策者和政策制定者制定有针对性的脱碳和绿色转型框架提供了参考。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
