Abstract

This work explores the landscape of Circular Economy within the business domain through an innovative approach to topic modelling applied to 1396 LinkedIn company profiles in the UK. We explore thematic structures within a dataset curated through the LinkedIn search engine prompt for companies related to the Circular Economy. Leveraging Latent Dirichlet Allocation models, we identify topics that encapsulate the essence of circular and sustainable business practices. Our findings unveil key thematic clusters, including "Waste Management and Environmental Impact," highlighting companies at the forefront of waste reduction and eco-conscious industry practices. Another significant cluster, "Sustainable Solutions and Customer-Centric Approach," delves into businesses seamlessly integrating sustainability across product design and customer interactions. Lastly, "Green Technology and Community Building" sheds light on companies excelling in green technology and actively contributing to environmentally responsible global networks. Topic modelling is employed as a powerful tool for unravelling complex business narratives and fostering a holistic approach to sustainable practices.

基于LinkedIn公司简介中的数据，探索英国的循环经济

这项工作通过一种创新的主题建模方法探索了商业领域内循环经济的景观，该方法应用于英国1396家领英公司的简介。我们通过领英搜索引擎提示，探索与循环经济相关的公司的数据集中的主题结构。利用潜在狄利克雷分配模型，我们确定了包含循环和可持续商业实践本质的主题。我们的研究结果揭示了关键的主题集群，包括“废物管理和环境影响”，突出了在减少废物和生态意识行业实践方面走在前列的公司。另一个重要的集群，“可持续解决方案和以客户为中心的方法”，深入研究企业在产品设计和客户互动中无缝集成可持续性。最后，“绿色科技与社区建设”介绍了在绿色科技方面表现出色，并积极为环保的全球网络作出贡献的公司。主题建模是一种强大的工具，用于揭示复杂的业务叙述，并培养可持续实践的整体方法。
