Responsible Management Education: Integrating Consumer Behavior, Sustainable Supply Chains, and Technology to Foster Sustainable Food Systems
This research confirms that Orthodox Christian fasting is not only a spiritual discipline but also a cultural model of sustainable consumption with measurable ecological benefits. By lowering the carbon and water footprint of diets, Orthodox norms contribute directly to SDG 12 “Responsible consumption and production” and indirectly to SDG 3 “Good Health and Well-Being”, SDG 13 “Climate Action”, and SDG 2 “Zero Hunger” through monastic charity. Integrating such religiously grounded insights into responsible management education enriches students’ understanding of sustainability, connecting modern ecological challenges with ethical traditions. The ESG-based framework for monastic refectories demonstrates the applicability of contemporary sustainability tools in traditional contexts, opening opportunities for cross-sectoral collaboration.
