“…The language of sustainability is more formally rational than the language of CSR, which is more normative. This makes the language of sustainability more ''CFO friendly'' than CSR (Strand 2013a(Strand , 2014a. Throughout this article, we utilize the expressions CSR and sustainability as ''umbrella constructs'' in the sense of Hirsch and Levin's (1999, pp.…”

Scandinavia is routinely cited as a global leader in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. In this article, we explore the foundation for this claim while also exploring potential contributing factors. We consider the deep-seated traditions of stakeholder engagement across Scandinavia including the claim that the recent concept of ''creating shared value'' has Scandinavian origins, institutional and cultural factors that encourage strong CSR and sustainability performances, and the recent phenomenon of movement from implicit to explicit CSR in a Scandinavian context and what this may entail. In sum, we depict the state of the art in CSR and sustainability in Scandinavia. We intend for this to serve as a basis to help establish a globally recognized research paradigm dedicated to considering CSR and sustainability in a Scandinavian context.

“…[17] However, it has been reported that the use of these programs is not approached systematically in the hospital sector. [24] Strategic work in developing environmental responsibility highlights the role that leaders need to play [25] and the importance of collaboration between different stakeholders. [9,17] Some hospitals, for instance in Germany, [13] have voluntarily hired environmental managers [26] to oversee the strategic development of such policies and ensure that they are sustainable from an operational point of view.…”

“…[9,17] Some hospitals, for instance in Germany, [13] have voluntarily hired environmental managers [26] to oversee the strategic development of such policies and ensure that they are sustainable from an operational point of view. [25,27] As they work in multi-professional teams with administrators and staff, they can provide a wider view of both technical solutions and sensible and realistic operations. They can also scrutinize the work of different stakeholders, including leaders' and health care professionals' such as nurses' roles in organizational environmental responsibility.…”

“…Environmental managers have been reported to contribute to organizations' legal [27] and profitable operations and represent the organization's sustainable aims to their staff. [25] An increasing number of studies are looking at environmental responsibility in hospital care by observing different areas, especially waste management [19,28,29] and sustainable activities in the operating theater. [20,23,30] In contrast, very few studies have looked at comprehensive environmental responsibility in hospital organizations [9] and have merely referred to structural skeletons that promote ecologically sustainable patient care.…”

ResumoNeste artigo teve-se como foco discutir resultados de estudos desenvolvidos por uma rede multidisciplinar e institucional de pesquisas direcionada a investigar relações entre os construtos liderança e sustentabilidade com vistas à proposição de abordagem que corrobore uma proposta mais sistêmica de liderança sustentável. Em outros termos, objetivou-se investigar de que forma diferentes agentes sociais – empresários, empreendedores, lideranças públicas, cidadãos e trabalhadores – articulam-se em processos de influência – liderança – tendo por base a noção de sustentabilidade, compreendida como um conceito complexo e com múltiplas definições. Para tal, procedeu-se à extensa revisão de abordagens contemporâneas sobre o tema, bem como de estudos de casos empíricos conduzidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e em profundidade junto a diferentes agentes sociais e em distintos contextos socioeconômicos e espaciais alvo de dinâmicas de reconversão de funções econômicas e de requalificação de espaços urbanos, bem como, mais recentemente, junto à cadeia produtiva do agronegócio. Os resultados demonstram que as relações entre liderança e sustentabilidade constituem campo de estudo em construção, denotando a importância de análises mais sistemáticas das interfaces entre o conjunto dos agentes envolvidos, assim como a consideração de outros construtos, dimensões e variáveis do comportamento organizacional.Palavras-chave: Liderança.

Leadership and sustainability: contributions of socioespacial dynamics studies on reconversion and requalification of economic functionsAbstract This article focused on discussing the results of studies developed by a multidisciplinary and institutional research network aimed at investigating relationships between leadership and sustainability constructs with a view to proposing an approach that corroborates a more systemic proposal of sustainable leadership. In other words, it aimed to investigate how different social agents – entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, public leaders, citizens and workers - articulate in processes of influence – leadership – based on the notion of sustainability, understood as a complex concept and with multiple definitions. To this end, a broad review of contemporary approaches on the subject is carried out, as well as empirical case studies conducted through semi-structured and in-depth interviews with different social agents and in different socioeconomic and spatial contexts, targeting dynamics of reconversion of economic functions and requalification of urban spaces, as well as, more recently, the agribusiness production chain. The results show that the relationships between leadership and sustainability constitute a field of study under construction, denoting the importance of more systematic analyzes of the interfaces between all the agents involved, as well as the consideration of other constructs, dimensions and variables of organizational behavior.Keywords: Leadership. Relational leadership. Sustainability. Sustainable leadership.
