The quest for achieving United Nations sustainability development goals (SDGs)

Sustainability and strategy: A Brazilian integrative review

“…Brazil is a relevant research locus because is the thirteenth largest producer of scientific research worldwide (Cross et al, 2017), it has been advancing in the area of organizational studies (Rodrigues and Carrieri, 2001), and it has companies operating in different areas (from agribusiness to creative economy). Also, the analysis of sustainability practices in emerging economies, such as Brazil, has some challenges, mainly due to the emphasis on the country's economic growth (Duarte, 2017) and the natural resources abundance (Huatuco and Ball, 2019) that can be overexploited in the pursuit of such growth.…”

The quest for achieving United Nations sustainability development goals (SDGs)

“…As an SDG itself, education is argued as a paramount which may lead to the achievement of different SDGs. Technical tools such as SDGs Industry Matrix and the guidance on incorporating SDGs into business strategy (Anthesis group, 2019;UN Global Compact and KPMG, 2016) are also introduced by Huaccho Huatuco and Ball (2019). Based on the theoretical summary, a comparative analysis of the UK and Brazil's progresses and challenges toward achieving SDG 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation is also provided by Huaccho Huatuco and Ball (2019).…”

“…As a dialogue with Huaccho Huatuco and Ball (2019), this paper examines Brazil and Saudi Arabia's progress toward SDG 9, with a specific focus on Target 9.2: Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry's share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries. More specifically, this paper uses Indicators 9.2.1 Manufacturing value added as a proportion of GDP and per capita and 9.2.2 Manufacturing employment as a proportion of total employment to measure the progress of the two selected countries.…”

“…More specifically, this paper uses Indicators 9.2.1 Manufacturing value added as a proportion of GDP and per capita and 9.2.2 Manufacturing employment as a proportion of total employment to measure the progress of the two selected countries. This enables a communication with Huaccho Huatuco and Ball (2019) Affairs, 2008).…”
