1. Smart education for corporate sustainability reportingPeter Glavič, Helena Levičnik, Aida Szilagyi, Ibon Zugasti, Thomas Schönfelder, Marek Rosicki, Pavel Ruzicka, Veronika Hajná, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive expanded its Non-Financial Reporting Directive requirements to companies with over 250 employees, mandating their sustainability reporting from 2025. This expansion will quadruple the number of companies subject to mandatory reporting, presenting new challenges for their managers and responsible employees. Companies will have to report according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. This article addresses gaps in vocational education and training (VET) programs related to sustainability knowledge and reporting. It aims to establish a unified approach for VET teachers and learners across the EU, preparing them for the evolving job market demands. The methodology ADDIE (Analysis/Design/Development/Implementation/Evaluation) was used to develop the curriculum and training. The research began by creating a knowledge repository and a questionnaire, focusing on current reporting practices and job requirements, and continued with preparing materials for the training course. The course encompassed six learning units: (1) European legislation and sustainability standards, (2) sustainability management, (3–5) environmental, social, and corporate dimensions, and (6) sustainability reporting. The initiative included multiplier (dissemination) events, pilot applications, and online course tests. To deliver the course effectively, an interactive e-learning platform was developed; gamification elements and other engaging activities were included to enhance learning outcomes.

2. Transitioning towards Net-Zero Emissions in Chemical and Process Industries : a holistic perspectivePeter Glavič, Zorka Novak-Pintarič, Helena Levičnik, Vesna Dragojlović, Miloš Bogataj, 2023, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Given the urgency to combat climate change and ensure environmental sustainability, this review examines the transition to net-zero emissions in chemical and process industries. It addresses the core areas of carbon emissions reduction, efficient energy use, and sustainable practices. What is new, however, is that it focuses on cutting-edge technologies such as biomass utilization, biotechnology applications, and waste management strategies that are key drivers of this transition. In particular, the study addresses the unique challenges faced by industries such as cement manufacturing and highlights the need for innovative solutions to effectively reduce their carbon footprint. In particular, the role of hydrogen as a clean fuel is at the heart of revolutionizing the chemical and process sectors, pointing the way to cleaner and greener operations. In addition, the manuscript explores the immense importance of the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the chemical industry. These initiatives provide a clear roadmap and framework for advancing sustainability, driving innovation, and reducing the industry's environmental impact, and are a notable contribution to the existing body of knowledge. Ultimately, alignment with the European Green Deal and the SDGs can bring numerous benefits to the chemical industry, increasing its competitiveness, promoting societal well-being, and supporting cross-sector collaboration to achieve shared sustainability goals. By highlighting the novelty of integrating cutting-edge technologies, addressing unique industrial challenges, and positioning global initiatives, this report offers valuable insights to guide the chemical and process industries on their transformative path to a sustainable future.

3. Krožno gospodarstvo na kmetijah z različnimi načini pridelave v severovzhodni slovenijiHelena Levičnik, 2020, magistrsko delo Opis: Krožno gospodarstvo na kmetijah je osnova za vzpostavitev povezave snovnih in energijskih tokov v družbi. V kmetijstvu se pojavljajo različni načini pridelave. Vsak od načinov kmetovanja upošteva svoja priporočila in smernice znotraj veljavne zakonodaje. Cilj magistrskega dela je izdelati študije primerov kmetij in jih primerjati glede na način pridelave. Oblikovali smo kazalnike za krožno gospodarjenje na kmetijah, zanimalo pa nas je, kateri način pridelave dosega največ kriterijev in je najbližje idealnemu stanju krožnega gospodarstva na kmetijah. Namen magistrskega dela je raziskati procese, stanje in razširjenost krožnega gospodarstva v kmetijstvu. Na študijah primerov kmetij s konvencionalno, ekološko in biodinamično pridelavo v severovzhodni Sloveniji smo ugotavljali stanje krožnega gospodarstva v kmetijstvu. Z anketnim vprašalnikom smo anketirali dve konvencionalni, tri ekološke in dve biodinamični kmetiji. Med kmetijami z različnimi načini pridelave je prišlo do različnega doseganja identificiranih kriterijev. Vse kmetije, vključene v raziskavo, dosegajo več kot polovico identificiranih kazalnikov za krožno gospodarstvo na kmetijah, prav tako pa si vse kmetije želijo razširiti krožno gospodarstvo v svojem gospodarjenju. Vse kmetije se poslužujejo kroženja biomase, zorenja živinskih gnojil in organskih stranskih produktov, gospodarjenja z deževnico, uporabe embalaže iz naravnih virov ali pa z njo ne poslujejo ter poznavanja in skrbi za naravne danosti kmetijskega gospodarstva. Največ kazalnikov za krožno gospodarjenje na kmetijah dosega biodinamičen način pridelave (93 %), nekoliko manj jih dosega ekološki način pridelave (76 %) najmanj pa jih dosega konvencionalni način pridelave (60 %).

4. RAZMNOŽEVANJE BEZGOV IN NJIHOVIH MEDVRSTNIH KRIŽANCEV S POTAKNJENCIHelena Levičnik, 2016, diplomsko delo/naloga Opis: Raziskava v diplomski nalogi je bila opravljena na dveh genotipih črnega bezga (Sambucus nigra L.) in različnih medvrstnih hibridih. Namen raziskave je bil proučiti vpliv genetske strukture, substrata, tipa potaknjenca, termina potikanja in različnih koncentracij rastnega regulatorja 1H-indolbutanojske kisline (IBA) (5g/kg in 10g/kg) na ukoreninjanje in morfološke lastnosti bezgovih potaknjencev. Poskus je potekal v rastlinjaku Fakultete za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede. Potaknjenci so koreninili pod polietilensko folijo. Rastlinski material smo nabirali v Botaničnem vrtu Univerze v Mariboru, Genski banki Fakultete za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede ter v okolici omenjene fakultete. Raziskava je pokazala, da na uspešnost ukoreninjenja vplivajo genotip, termin in tretiranje z rasnim regulatorjem. Substrat in tip potaknjenca nista imela vpliva.
