Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been the subject of extensive research, especially during the past two decades; however, few academic studies investigated the relationship between CSR and employee behaviour. This study reduces this gap by identifying the degree of association between CSR and the proenvironmental behaviour (PEB) of workers. These concepts were analysed among companies that are recognised as being socially responsible and others that are not; not enough empirical evidence was found to determine if these are positively affecting employee PEB in the Mexican context. The methodology was quantitative through questionnaires addressed to workers from renowned companies in Mexico, and analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM) in AMOS software. Results showed that the CSR practices of the companies with a badge and the PEB of their workers are poorly related. The average of compliance with global CSR practices for companies that have a badge is less than or equal to that of those that do not. Conclusions indicate that CSR could occur only in declarative terms from the workers’ perception.

In the present investigation, results obtained from the process of the biosorption of Zn(II) in synthetic wastewaters are presented, using three agricultural wastes (coffee pulp, banana pseudo-stem, and corncob). Firstly, the percentage of lignin and cellulose for each material was determined. Then, using the free software XLSTAT, the waste with the highest removal for this metal was selected and, after this, the optimum pH, kinetics, adsorption isotherm, and point of zero charge (pHpzc) were found. Finally, a comparison with other lignocellulosic materials derived from banana, corn, and coffee crops was carried out. According to the results obtained, coffee pulp was the material that showed a high removal compared to the other two (63.58%), for which the optimum pH was 5.0 units. The kinetic model, which was adjusted to the process of biosorption, was the pseudo second order of Ho and McKay, which in turn presented an isotherm of Langmuir’s linearized model where the maximum adsorption capacity with that waste was 13.53 mg × g−1, obtained with a particle size of 180 µm, contact time of 90 min at 100 RPM, temperature of 25 °C, and pHpzc 3.95 units. Lastly, the authors state that this type of agricultural waste can be used as a green technology in the treatment of wastewater, particularly in the removal of the aforementioned pollutant, in order to fulfill goals 3.9 and 6.9 of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda; to the level of challenge of the research, the authors propose for the future to carry out the implementation of this type of waste, without chemical modification, in the treatment of wastewater for the removal of the mentioned pollutant in a pilot study with different wastewaters and industries.

El estado de Guerrero es el primer productor de mango en México. Sin embargo, ocupa el último lugar en exportación. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar las cadenas de comercialización de mango y el potencial de exportación en la Región Costa Grande. La metodología fue de naturaleza exploratoria y descriptiva con enfoque mixto cuali-cuantitativo; a través, de un diseño exploratorio secuencial en dos etapas. En agosto 2016-marzo 2017 se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores clave del sistema producto mango en Guerrero y se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado a 84 productores de mango de seis municipios en la región. La información se analizó con los softwares SPSS versión 23 y Atlas.ti versión 6. Los resultados mostraron que los productores no han podido concretar una eficiente comercialización del mango a causa de distintos factores internos y externos como la desorganización, acaparamiento y falta de industrialización, problemas de plagas y enfermedades del cultivo, acceso a fuentes de financiamiento, entre otros. Además, todos los entrevistados mostraron interés en temas de exportación, pero solo cuatro cuentan con estándares necesarios para ese propósito. La identificación de las principales características de los productores y sus sistemas productivos, así como la comprensión de la cadena de comercialización de mango en la región aportará conocimiento para integrar de una manera más eficiente y eficaz el sistema producto mango.
