This study explored the relationship between innovation and sustainable development, highlighting innovation as a key driver for economic growth and social progress. In contrast, sustainable development ensures the long-term viability of this growth. This study finds through a systematic literature review that innovation activities must balance environmental, social, and economic aspects to achieve green, inclusive, and sustainable development. However, certain innovations may threaten sustainable development due to disregarding long-term impacts. The requirements of sustainable development for innovation may also sometimes limit the pace and space for innovation. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore the negative impacts of innovation and sustainable development and to find a balance between the theoretical and practical levels. The study emphasises the importance of understanding the dynamic relationship between innovation and sustainable development. Through interdisciplinary cooperation and practical exploration, balancing innovation and sustainable development is crucial for promoting global sustainability. Further attention should be paid to the interaction between innovation and sustainable development, and appropriate innovation and development should be selected to achieve a balance.

The development of science and technology and the deepening of globalisation have opened up new directions for developing the agricultural industry. With the gradual expansion of the scope of “Internet +”, traditional trade has gradually evolved into e-commerce, and relatively simple domestic trade has gradually expanded into cross-border transactions. With the help of e-commerce platforms, sales channels can be expanded, and the share of agricultural exports can be increased. The development of cross-border e-commerce is highly valued and mutually supportive of the agricultural product supply chain (APSC), which promotes the international trade of agricultural products. Optimised APSC provide high-quality produce to meet consumer demand. Technological innovations such as big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) bring smart and efficient optimisation solutions to APSC, improving the efficiency of product distribution. This paper reviews the research on cross-border e-commerce and APSC by some scholars in recent years, summarises the current development of cross-border e-commerce, describes the problems of APSC, and proposes solutions. Reviewing and summarising the relevant research literature aims to help scholars understand the development of cross-border e-commerce and APSC more systematically and comprehensively, and to provide strong support for future research and practice.

Supply chain management is important in all aspects of business processes. With the advent of the information age, big data technology has become important in developing all aspects of our country. Appropriate use of big data technology in supply chain cost management by enterprises can not only improve their ability to analyse and master data but also timely control the cost expenditure issues in different links of the supply chain, improve management systems, and enhance the company’s core competitiveness. In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of supply chain management, this study explores the application of big data technology in enterprise supply chain cost control and data analysis. This study uses big data as the background to analyse the costs of several important links in the supply chain of IKEA. It combines the discovered problems with big data technology to improve them, hoping to be helpful to the development of IKEA and related industries.

With the increasing global attention on sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, studying the dynamics and frontiers of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure is of great significance to academia, corporate practice, and policy-making. This study employs CiteSpace for bibliometric visual analysis, utilizing methods such as keyword co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, and research theme evolution analysis to comparatively analyze the differences in ESG research between domestic and international contexts. The study reveals the hotspots, trends, and development directions of ESG disclosure research. The findings indicate a steady growth in the number of publications in the ESG disclosure research field, with research themes shifting from singular environmental information disclosure to a more comprehensive focus on social responsibility and governance structures. This study not only provides researchers with new perspectives, expanding and deepening the themes of ESG research, but also offers references for companies to enhance ESG disclosure and for policy-making, thus holding significant theoretical and practical implications.

China is advancing green and low-carbon development in a coordinated manner, and at the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, China officially proposed the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. The "dual carbon" strategy is an essential path to achieving green and sustainable development, as well as a necessary measure to enhance the momentum of high-quality economic growth. The construction of the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) system is a crucial factor influencing the development of green finance, and the importance of green finance and sustainable development for high-quality corporate and social development is further elevated. This paper analyzes the significance of ESG system construction for the green transition of the economy and society. Based on the development status of ESG practices domestically and internationally, and grounded in the issues and needs of the domestic economic and social green transition, this study explores the mechanism by which ESG system construction promotes the sustainable development of finance.
