“…The results of this study can provide tangible evidence that awareness about the implementation of CSR was built since university study, where the undergraduate programs at universities that apply good USR can produce graduates who have more awareness and knowledge in implementing CSR. The results of this study can enrich studies in the USR area, considering that previous studies on the topic of USR have often focused on the conceptual USR (Wigmore-Álvarez and Ruiz-Lozano, 2012; Chen et al , 2015; Dima, 2017; Ali et al , 2021) and the determinant of USR (Mintarti Dasuki, 2014; Pompeu et al , 2014). However, it is very rare for studies to use USR as a determinant and link it to the efforts of universities in forming student awareness of CSR.…”

“…Previous studies on university social responsibility (USR) have focused on developing a conceptual USR, in the form of literature reviews (Ali et al , 2021; Wigmore-Álvarez and Ruiz-Lozano, 2012), conceptual frameworks (Chen, et al , 2015; Dima, 2017), USR measurement (Coelho et al , 2017), review of USR (Martín-Rubio and Andina, 2016), USR dimensions (Pompeu et al , 2014) and case studies (Davis et al , 2003). However, studies that link them to the impact of the implementation of USR are very rare, especially in the context of developing countries (Ali et al , 2021).…”

Purpose The role of higher education institutions is paramount in creating social and cultural conditions for sustainability. Several studies show universities play an important role in promoting public understanding and awareness about sustainability. The purpose of this study is to analyze the application of university social responsibility (USR) on green and nongreen campuses and how it affects the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of students' self-consciousness (SSC), especially in accounting undergraduate programs by looking at how the undergraduate programs shape their curriculum and can build student awareness related to CSR. Design/methodology/approach A total of 704 accounting undergraduate programs students from eight different universities in Indonesia were surveyed to test the CSR SSC. Eight participating universities were included in the green campus based on Universitas Indonesia Green Metric (UI GreenMetric) and nongreen campus. Each university was analyzed regarding the application of USR. Findings The results of this study show that universities included in the green campus at the UI GreenMetric do not necessarily have a higher USR than the nongreen campus. Overall, there is evidence that graduates from universities with high USR implementation have better CSR SSC than graduates from universities with low USR implementation. Furthermore, the findings of this study show that there is a high value of ethic and CSR knowledge coming from university students with high USR implementation but not so with character. The findings show the same results from students between the two university groups. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first attempt to examine the effect of USR implementation on CSR SSC in Indonesia, by putting students’ CSR knowledge as a part of CSR SSC.

“…In addition, by bringing together these concepts that address social responsibility from different perspectives, it is noted that, from their origin, universities have been the basis of education and, to some extent, of social sustainability. In this context, universities are obliged to implement a series of ethical principles and values in the fields of management, teaching, and research, so that they declare their intentions, in this sense, in their vision and mission [20,79,80].…”

Responsible higher education institutions have an impact on society and economic, environmental, and social development. These effects define the axes of the socially responsible management of the universities. The concept of university social responsibility (USR) manages these relationships to produce a positive impact on society through higher education, research, and the transfer of knowledge and technology, as well as education for sustainability. For this study, worldwide research into this subject was studied for the period 1970–2019. A bibliometric analysis of 870 articles was made, obtaining results for the scientific productivity of the journals, authors, institutions, and countries contributing to this research. The main category is business, management, and accounting. The most productive journal is the Business and Society Review, while the California Management Review is the most cited. The authors with the most articles are Stavnezer, Luo, and Lanero. The most productive institution is Wuhan University. The United States is the country with the most publications and citations, and the same country, together with the United Kingdom, make the most international contributions. Evidence shows growing worldwide interest in the economic and environmental impacts of USR. Future research should focus on analysing the links between the responsible and sustainable consumption of universities and their short-term financial, economic, and sustainable impacts.

“…Recently, universities and higher education institutions have been increasingly rethinking their roles, looking to be both more responsive to societal needs and to become agents of change contributing to a new socially responsible and sustainable model of socioeconomic development (Vasilescu et al 2010;Shawyun 2011). To that end, many activities are being implemented to promote civil values and the responsibilities of the people contributing socially and economically to the local community's development and increasing human capital (Pompeu et al 2014).…”

Background: In the broad scientific debate on the integration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the strategic planning of universities and on the use of monitoring the results of the strategy of the indicators relating to the pursuit of sustainable development goals (SDGs), there is a lack of studies demonstrating the effective degree of institutionalization of CSR in universities. Methods: This analysis constitutes a pilot study relating to the Italian university context. The study was carried out through an analysis on the contents of the three-year strategic performance plans (2020–2022) drawn up by individual universities and compulsorily published on the national portal of the Public Function Department, as required by article 10, paragraph 1, letter (a) of Legislative Decree 150/2009. A matrix was made with the information extracted by the documents and relative to the presence of the SDGs in the strategic performance plan. Consequently, using a Likert scale, the different degrees of institutionalization of CSR in the strategic plan of the universities were coded. Results: The results of the pilot study highlighted that the strategic planning of Italian universities’ CSR practices and the challenges of sustainable development are hardly ever systematically addressed. Therefore, there is a low degree of institutionalization of CSR in the Italian university system, even though the literature shows a high cultural and scientific commitment to establish university and post-graduate study courses with corporate social responsibility and sustainable development content and an increasing trend in the use of the accountability tools such as the social report or the sustainability report. Conclusions: It is necessary to share the results of scientific research on CSR and SDGs with the government and governance bodies of universities in order to harmonize the CSR and sustainability culture of these bodies with that of academics.
