Financial systems face evolving risks from climate change, digitalisation, and new financial ecosystems that challenge existing supervision and policy frameworks. Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and satellite systems enhance risk identification and monitoring, yet introduce new technological and cybersecurity threats. Sustainable finance and financial inclusion have emerged as instruments for managing long-term risks and strengthening financial system resilience, though questions persist regarding data quality and greenwashing.

This special issue seeks theoretical and empirical research examining the challenges and opportunities arising from the convergence of technology, sustainability, and financial inclusion. Contributions should adopt financial and risk management perspectives, with particular interest in studies addressing implications for financial stability, prudential supervision, and public policy design.

Modern supply chains face unprecedented disruptions and resource scarcity, requiring transformation from linear models to circular and responsive systems. Digital technologies—including IoT, AI, digital twins, blockchain, and platforms—are essential for achieving resilience, flexibility, and sustainability while closing material loops.

This special issue seeks research on how digital innovations support responsive and circular supply chains, including technology-driven solutions and associated business models. Contributions should address opportunities and barriers to digitalization across multiple supply chain tiers or dyadic relationships in various industries.

The journal welcomes diverse methodologies including conceptual, qualitative, and quantitative research with managerial implications. Submissions may examine automotive, chemicals, food, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, or mining contexts.
