“…Ceulemans et al (2015b) overviewed the literature about sustainability reporting of higher education institutions and concluded that this subject has been researched in a disconnected way, and it has not been the focal point of the studies. Some research articles have debated the compatibility of sustainability reporting (Adams, 2013;Musyarofah, 2012), examined the sustainability practices in universities (Ralph and Stubbs, 2014) or probed different evaluation tools (Kamal and Asmuss, 2013;Lozano, 2006;Lozano and Young, 2013). Sustainability reporting has often been addressed in these research lines, but it has not been at the main topic of the research all the time (Ceulemans et al, 2015b).…”

Purpose This study aims to focus on the following research question: Which institutional characteristics are associated with sustainability reporting by UK higher education institutions? Design/methodology/approach To answer the aforementioned research question, this study uses logistic regression. Findings The results show that 17 per cent of the UK higher education institutions report on their sustainability (July 2014). In line with legitimacy and stakeholder theory, logistic regressions provide evidence that the larger the size of the institution, the higher the probability of reporting. By contrast, high public funding decreases this probability. Research limitations/implications The findings show characteristics of higher education institutions that support or hamper sustainability reporting. Overall, the findings imply a lack of institutionalisation of sustainability reporting among higher education institutions. Originality/value Although a lot of research has been done on corporate sustainability reporting, only a small number of studies have addressed the issues of sustainability reporting of higher education institutions. This study covers all sustainability reports disclosed among the 160 UK higher education institutions. It is the first study that investigates characteristics of higher education institutions that disclose a sustainability report.

A university, which is the main form of higher education institution (HEI), aims to develop and promote education, generate academic excellence and transfer academic knowledge to solve social problems. To enhance the innovation creation in universities, the relevant factors that affect such creation should be investigated. Hence, this study aims to investigate the critical factors that affect research and innovation creation in public universities in Thailand. The relevant literature was reviewed and research was conducted using a qualitative research approach. Data were collected from in-depth interviews of 11 executives purposely selected from 8 frontier public universities in Thailand. The data were analysed using NVivo qualitative research software. Results revealed 15 critical factors in the following descending order: resource, goal, database and information technology, working environment, managerial process, policy, network, organisational structure, human resource management, government support, strategy, compensation, organisation culture, vision and leader factor. Moreover, results identified the issues that should be addressed.

“…Sustainability frameworks have been developed in many countries [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. Numerous studies have recognized the significance of sustainability reporting (SR) as a shape of accountability in various countries [19], [20], [21], [22], [23]; including the Asia Pacific [24]; Italy [25], [26], [18]; Canada [27], [26], [28], [8]; Atlantic Canada [29], [30]; France [25], [26]; Lithuania [31]; Austria [32]; [33], [34]; the Netherlands [35]; New Zealand [36]; the UK [37], [38]; Australia [39] [41]; Indonesia [42], [43], [44], [45], [46]; and Spain [47], [48]. However, the results represent that the diffusion of SR is still at an early arrange in colleges, and no critical dissemination has been accomplished [29].…”

This study examined the diffusion of higher education institutions (HEIs) sustainability reporting (SR) around the world. It also compares the sustainability reporting (GRI database) and sustainability performance (SP) of HEIs by adopting the UI Green Metrics. Two hundred and forty-nine sustainability reports for the period 2010-2020 were analyzed to measure sustainability reporting practices. This research was a population study. The data analysis was performed using inferential and descriptive statistics. The results represented the number of SRs for HEIs was remain very weak. The comparative analysis represented that there were differences in sustainability reporting according to geographical region, but not according to size and sustainability performance. Sustainability performance has increased at the international level, but it has not been tracked by the trend of sustainability reporting, with developed and developing countries having different results. The implication of this finding suggests that it is necessary to improve the GRI standard indicators to match HEI characteristics. Future research should test the quality of reporting.
