“…Implementing innovations in different places might help the development process (Szopik-Depczyńska et al , 2018) and offers solutions to meet the United Nations 2030 sustainable development agenda (Calabrese et al , 2018). From the point of view of the performance indicators used in this research, the findings corroborate previous studies regarding the importance of sustainability indicators (Mazon et al , 2019) and models for assessing sustainability (Pereira Ribeiro et al , 2021a, 2021b) in universities (Guerra et al , 2018; Fuchs et al , 2020; Perdoná and Soares, 2021; Leal Filho et al , 2021a; Leal Filho et al , 2021b). Additionally, this study indicates that GAC not only directly and positively influences GSI, but it also indirectly affects GSI via the partial mediator of GDC.…”

Purpose This study aims to discuss the influences of green innovation processes on sustainable development and proposes a research model linking green absorptive capacity, green dynamic capabilities and green service innovation with the aim of clarifying how these interactions operate within universities. Design/methodology/approach Supported by a survey of sustainability researchers in Brazilian universities, a mediation‐moderation analysis and partial least squares structural equation modelling approach is used to examine the influence of green absorptive capacity and green dynamic capabilities on green service innovation. Findings This study reinforces that greening processes and products are relevant to an organization and provide information on the mechanisms for achieving greater sustainable performance. Research limitations/implications Considering one of the dimensions of administrative science as being university management, this study provides information on the mechanisms to achieve better sustainable development in universities. Practical implications This study contributes to the debate by adding the perception of university managers and provides guidance on new forms of management, which allows them to face changes while minimizing the disruption to the formation of organizational knowledge. Social implications Universities are becoming increasingly active in promoting societal changes toward sustainable development. It is intended that the results of this research contribute to future research and act as a reference for researchers, professionals and policymakers. Originality/value The concept of green absorption capacity in universities is relatively new and has not yet been investigated completely with respect to its association with university management and organizational structures.

“…Regardless of the structure used, the use of BSC in educational institutions presents itself as a management tool that can contribute to strategic planning, in the realization of its mission and vision and control of its performance (Lawrence and Sharma, 2002;Dorweiler and Yakhou, 2005;Guerra et al, 2018;Pereira Ribeiro et al, 2020).…”

“…While advertising can be considered as an act or practice that seeks to attract the attention of the public, especially potential buyers, to influence them toward products, policies, needs or plans (Serra et al, 2017). It is also the communications that can be both personal and impersonal that occur in the form of news with which a certain organization and its products are involved, which will be transmitted through the media without resulting in costs for the organization (Pereira Ribeiro et al, 2020). When it comes to the media, the choice of which type to use is influenced by considerations such as the types of products or services that need to be advertised, and the target audience, the advantages and limitations that each media presents and its cost (Hoffman, 1989).…”

Purpose Sustainability is understood as a complex and integrating area, involving the most diverse areas and fields of knowledge. Because of the innumerable socio-environmental challenges in the current scenario, a sustainable development that finds the necessary changes and advances for communities, industry and the various stakeholders involved is required. In this process of promoting sustainable development, universities stand out for being institutions capable of taking an analytical and questioning look at the directions of the society in which they are inserted and not just helping them to pursue them, serving as a model and living laboratory for the implementation of greener practices in cities. One of the actions that contributes to the consolidation process of a more sustainable university and the development of the green campus is the use of green marketing, understood as a set of all the practices that involve conventional marketing, focused on the search to reduce the negative impact or promote positive effects on the relationship between the institution and the environment. This paper aims, based on the balanced scorecard (BSC), to propose a strategic management tool as support for green marketing strategies, thus promoting, more quickly, the promotion of sustainable development in higher education institutions (HEIs). Design/methodology/approach Four universities were chosen, from the literature, in terms of best practices for sustainable development, where the main dimensions used by green marketing were mapped. Based on them, the BSC structure was adapted to enhance its strategies. Findings To achieve the objective of this work, this paper proposed an adaptation of the original BSC for better management of green marketing strategies for universities, based on four dimensions: community members, university members, product and strategy. Originality/value The main contribution of this paper is to propose a BSC as a strategic management system focused on the green marketing of universities to accelerate the promotion of sustainable development in HEIs.

“…Access to clean water and sanitation was recognized as a human right by the United Nations General Assembly in 2010, and it is a fundamental resource for human health, food production, social and economic development and maintenance of biodiversity (Trevett et al 2005 ; Tundisi and Tundisi 2015 ; Young et al 2015 ; Brown et al 2016 ; Pereira Ribeiro et al 2021 ). With the increase urbanization and population, greater pressure on water resources and a greater generation of domestic effluents are expected, which leads to a great potential for this type of reuse (Drechsel et al 2015 ; Zhao et al 2019 ; Qadir et al 2020 ).…”

In recent years, the demand for clean water has been growing all over the world despite the different threats posed, including increasing pollution, increasing deforestation and climate change. Industrial activity is the second largest consumer of water, so highly industrialized regions are more susceptible to water stress. In this sense, reuse strategies have been progressively discussed and used around the world; however, in Brazil there is still place for many advances, whether due to lack of incentives, cultural issues in society, or poor regulation of the subject. The objective of this work was to carry out a diagnosis of raw water uptake by industries in one Hydrographic Region of the state of Rio de Janeiro and to propose a discussion on the adoption of water reuse practices for non-potable purposes from the use of treated effluents. A survey of the theoretical framework on the subject was carried out, as well as an analysis of sustainability indicators and reports of the companies, including the current licensing processes of large undertakings consuming water resources. With this study, it was possible to obtain the average cost of implementing a water reuse unit for an industry in the state of Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, which, despite still being expensive, has a strong tendency to use due to world water shortages. Finally, it was concluded that the state of Rio de Janeiro has a threat of water scarcity that could be aggravated in the coming years, if measures and investments in supply alternatives are not adopted (water reuse), and improvement in all stages of water management water resources.
