Abstract

This paper investigates the role of digital transparency in enhancing consumer awareness of product origins and sustainability. As consumers increasingly seek to make informed, ethically aligned purchasing decisions, digital platforms - such as blockchain-enabled systems, mobile apps, and e-commerce sites - offer a medium for brands to communicate supply chain transparency. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article examines how transparency practices impact consumer trust, decision-making, and the adoption of sustainable products. Findings reveal that while digital platforms can significantly influence ethical consumption, their effectiveness depends on the clarity, accessibility, and perceived credibility of information presented. Key challenges, including greenwashing and information overload, can hinder transparency efforts, thereby reducing consumer trust. Additionally, stakeholder theory and the theory of planned behaviour provide insights into the ethical responsibilities of brands and the cognitive factors shaping consumer choices. Practical recommendations are offered, including the need for simplified, interactive transparency tools and collaboration with third-party certifiers to enhance authenticity. The study highlights the importance of evolving digital transparency practices to meet the ethical demands of modern consumers and suggests ways for future research to explore the impact of transparency across diverse consumer segments and regions.

Abstract

Background: The insurance sector's solvency and performance are critical for financial stability, particularly under the influence of Risk-Based Capital (RBC) regulations. These regulations enhance industry resilience, mitigating financial instability risks.Purpose: This study aims to identify the determinants of solvency and performance within the insurance industry, emphasizing the role of RBC regulations.Methodology: A systematic literature review of 20 empirical studies, published from 2018 to 2024, was conducted. Studies were selected based on relevance to solvency and performance and analyzed for regional and economic trends.Findings: Profitability, company size, and leverage were identified as significant internal factors influencing solvency. Specifically, profitability positively impacts solvency, while high leverage heightens vulnerability during economic downturns. RBC regulations contribute to industry stability but may restrict insurers’ capacity for higher-yield investments, thereby affecting profitability.Conclusion: Effective solvency management requires balanced regulatory strategies. RBC regulations support financial stability but must be crafted to allow growth, enabling insurers to manage risks while pursuing profitability.State of the art: This research provides insights into RBC regulation effects on the insurance sector's financial health, offering policy recommendations to promote stability and growth.
