With technological advancements, there has been a significant increase in the generation of electronic waste (e-waste), leading to severe environmental consequences. Inadequate e-waste management poses obstacles to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and results in detrimental effects such as pollution, health risks, and resource depletion. Recycling and reusing are vital due to the presence of toxic and valuable elements in e-waste. However, several barriers impede effective management, including limited collection points, insufficient awareness, and inadequate policies. For this reason, this paper aims to propose drivers for developing and improving organizational actions that enhance e-waste management, enabling companies to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. Content analysis was employed as the research method to identify booster elements and systematize e-waste management drivers. Thirty-six booster elements related to SDGs 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 17 were identified based on 30 relevant scientific articles from Scopus and 16 sustainability reports from well-ranked companies on the New York Stock Exchange. The systematized drivers encompass recycling and treatment techniques, sustainable manufacturing and consumption, e-waste management technologies, and cooperation networks. The scientific contribution of this work lies in incorporating empirical elements into the literature and enriching the theory of sustainable practices in the electronic equipment industry. In an applied manner, this article contributes to managers who can use the proposed drivers to improve the management of e-waste, thus reducing costs and enhancing the socio-environmental performance of their companies.

Purpose: This study aims to propose a method, analyzing the feasibility and implementation of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in Brazilian municipalities, examining the reality of each one. The central question is: what is being done to put the 2030 Agenda into practice in Brazilian municipalities? Methodology/approach: DSR (Design Science Research) was used as a methodological basis, as it allows the creation of artifacts, which, during their development, can build theories that describe, explain and predict how reality is defined, in general. In this case, the objective of the method is to analyze local characteristics, verifying the practical implementation of the SDGs in Brazilian municipalities. Originality/Relevance: this research resulted in Bah! Method, also developing Bah Seal! which plays an effective indicator role, with the aim of improving the present situation and future performance, creating a pioneering certification method/system. Key findings: It is concluded that there is a lack of implementation of the SDGs in Brazilian municipalities, thus creating the method called BAH, an acronym that means Environmental and Humanized Benefit (in Portuguese), once the implementation of the SDGs generates benefits for the environment and for people, aligning and proposing public policies to municipalities. Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study intended to contribute academically to the development of DSR in management, demonstrating its importance in helping to solve problems through artifacts, as in the managerial area and other applied social sciences encouraging the development of strategies to collaborate in the Agenda 2030 process.

Quality management has been developing and its application is feasible not only in control rooms and production-related departments. New techniques and control tools have been developed to seek a better level of customer and stakeholder satisfaction. The work in question is a case study of the application of quality control tools, more specifically of two performance indicators, to measure the efficiency of the technical support service to the commercial team provided by a large company in the food industry. The analysis of the data obtained showed that the indicators evaluated were effective in this task and allowed us to see opportunities for improvement in the performance of the service provided. From the results obtained and their analysis it was possible to verify that the proposed indicators are perfectly applicable, providing clear and objective answers, which allows for more precise decision making and focused on the company's objective.

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the significance of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of the Low Carbon Economy (LCE) through a quantitative and descriptive approach. The research aims to identify and understand the relationships between the 17 SDGs and their impact on the promotion of sustainable development, particularly in mitigating climate change-related issues. Method: The research employed a quantitative and descriptive methodology, utilizing a survey conducted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. The survey was designed to gather data from respondents representing civil society, government, and companies in the region. Participants were asked to evaluate the importance and influence of each of the 17 SDGs on the Low Carbon Economy. Results: The research findings reveal substantial relationships between the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Low Carbon Economy (LCE), as perceived by the respondents. The results indicate that all SDGs play a significant role in influencing the LCE. These findings emphasize the interconnectedness of sustainable development goals and their potential to drive the transition to a Low Carbon Economy. Conclusions: The study highlights the crucial role of Sustainable Development Goals in promoting a Low Carbon Economy. By fostering the use of renewable energy sources and sustainable practices, the LCE offers a solution to reduce environmental damage and work towards achieving sustainable development.
