Using bibliometric techniques, we evaluate the contribution of current academic research to the advancement of sustainable development agenda as expressed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets . We focus on four knowledge domains highly relevant to the ethos of sustainable development, each with a distinct approach, to finding a balance between ecological and economic systems when it comes to development: “Circular Economy” (CE), “Degrowth” (DG), Green Growth” (GG), and research specifically addressing sustainable development goals that we refer to as “SDG Research” (SDGR). We evaluate two dimensions: scope – the extent to which the full range of UN Sustainable Develpment (SD) Agenda 2030 topics expressed in targets and indicators for each SDG are explored; and intensity- the quantity of research focusing on each SDG. Our analysis demonstrates that the four knowledge domains examined: CE, DG, GG and the emerging domain labelled SDGR, have made important contributions to research related with the 17 UN SDGs. However, these contributions are heterogeneous with important differences according to the SDGs. We find that academic research does not fully align with the policy agenda, identifying several gaps. The disparate coverage of SDGs priorities by academics may compromise the progress and implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda 2030.

Modeling an aquifer provides significant advantages when evaluating and estimating the water resource for its sustainable use. This study focuses on the rural parish Manglaralto, a semi-arid area with a shortage of water, and without supply service by the public network. Still, it has a great demand for supply by the local and floating population (tourism). This has caused the coastal aquifer, which supplies the area’s water, to show signs of overexploitation, and its natural balance is compromised. The aim is to establish a geometric model of the aquifer through geological and geophysical analysis to set sustainable water-use guidelines. The methodology includes: (i) the processing of the current technical and hydrogeological information to know the aquifer’s data; (ii) geometric modeling of the aquifer through the correlation of technical information, using the GeoModeller software; (iii) proposals for the sustainable use of water in the framework of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. The geometric model results reveal that the aquifer’s thickness varies from 4 m at the head of the river to 30 m at the sea’s mouth. The volume of water is estimated at 13.6 Hm3. The sustainable-use proposals ensure that more than half of the population receives the community company’s service. More than 40% of the territory is a protected area, and 64% of the population has sewerage service. This geometric model is a visual contribution that allows us to know the aquifer’s shape and establishes guidelines that help strengthen the water supply’s development and sustainability over time.

This paper is focused on analyzing the characteristics of firms that have environmental performance beyond the requirements of regulation in environmental protection. To identify such characteristics, we propose a value and context model building on environmental paradigms as conceptualized by Dryzek’s environmental discourse theory. Using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) to analyze data collected from a multi-respondent survey of Argentinean polluting firms, we identify distinctive characteristics of firms going beyond regulation and firms that do not comply with regulation. In particular, comparing with other five environmental discourses, endorsement of green growth is evaluated in its connection with compliance patterns. We find that supporting green growth discourse (also known as ecological modernization) is one of the characteristics of those firms that go beyond compliance in their environmental performance.

The demand for innovative approaches applied to productive sectors is a reality present in the circular economy and open innovation is a relatively new concept that has revolutionized the literature about innovation management. Since the concept appeared in 2003, many articles have focused on its development and application. Although some studies have connected open innovation with sustainability, the relevance of this current on the global literature about open innovation is still unidentified. In this context, this paper tries to cover this gap with a bibliometric analysis focused on the evolution of the open innovation paradigm and the relevance of sustainability in this field of research. A sample of 3087 papers published between 2003 and 2019 in the Scopus database was obtained. The analysis revealed the main topics and the most prolific journals, authors, institutions, and countries, in terms of productivity, citations, and h-indexes. Besides of these contributions, keywords analysis reveals that, in recent years, sustainability and ecosystems are decisive variables in open innovation research.

As members of society, companies are exposed to social changes and pressures. Hence, an interest to be more environmentally friendly appears and rises in their core. Therefore, the supply chain management concept became "greener" with the development, among other practices, of reverse logistics programs. Both external pressures and internal factors, such as reducing costs and increasing operational performance, are motivating companies to pay more attention to the reverse flow. Unfortunately, there are still many boundaries that hinder the implementation of reverse logistics. Some of these obstacles include additional costs, the desire for deep collaboration with suppliers and customers, and the belief of some managers that are managing reverse flow that it is not worth the trouble. On the contrary, those who have assimilated its importance and advantages are interested in new and innovative tools that could contribute to more effective and efficient results, including the role of RFID technology.

For decades, non-renewable resources have been the basis of worldwide economic development. The extraction rate of natural resources has increased by 113% since 1990, which has led to overexploitation and generation of vast amounts of waste. For this reason, it is essential that a sustainable development model is adopted—one which makes it possible to produce more food and energy with fewer fossil fuels, low pollutant gas emissions and minimal solid waste. Certain management policies and approaches, such as the strategy of a circular ecocomy or bioeconomy, are oriented towards sustainable production and consumption. The present study focuses on the importance of intensive horticulture in the Mediterranean region, specifically in the province of Almería (Spain). After having conducted a study of the main crops in this area, it was determined that the waste biomass generated presented strong potential for exploitation. With the proper regulatory framework, which promotes and prioritises the circularity of agricultural waste, there are several opportunities for improving the current waste management model. In the same way, the results of the economic evaluation demonstrate that the alternative of self-management of waste biomass is profitable, specifically from tomato crops. Compost and green fertilizer production also prove to be a key strategy in the transition towards a more circular and sustainable agricultural production model. As for the said transition, government support is vital in terms of carrying out awareness campaigns and training activities and providing financing for Research and Development (R&D).

Global alliances have traditionally been related to improvements in the economic and operational performances of companies, particularly in the airline industry. However, we still do not know the effect of the participation in this kind of multilateral agreement on the environmental performance of airlines. The main aim of this work is to analyze whether the alliance membership of airlines has an effect upon their environmental performance, and if so, whether or not the characteristics of the global alliance, as well as the business model of the airline, may influence this relation to a greater or lesser extent. The results of regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in a sample of 252 airlines (58 included in one of the three global alliances: Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam) show a strong and inverse relationship between environmental performance and belonging to an alliance. The paper also shows empirical evidence of the influence of the business model of the airline on environmental performance. These results suggest important implications for managers facing challenges regarding sustainability.

The aim of the study is to identify the factors that influence innovation activities associated with business management, known in the academic world as organizational innovation. Data was gathered by administering a survey on the managers or owners of hotels in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. Three components of organizational innovation were analyzed: methods of organizing job positions, work organization practices and management of external relations; all of which were tested with both internal variables (individual and structural characteristics) and variables external to the firms.

The earth and the natural world have physical limits. Thus, industries or firm systems operating on this planet have limits as well. Infinite growth is intrinsically impossible. Some firms have integrated these principles into their management methods while struggling to survive in a traditional competitive environment with short‐term economic constraints. This paper explores the managerial practices that help firm systems address these paradoxical tensions of being responsible for the environment and having a long‐term degrowth orientation while also successfully competing in traditional capitalistic markets. Using a social system approach, the paper applies functional differentiation focusing on the internal aspects of the management of the firm. The paper highlights that the role of each subsystem can be crucial for integrating the survival of the firm system and the natural system's limits. Each subsystem has a potential effect on the natural system that can be analysed and managed in a specific way.

Sustainability is a complex problem affecting multiple firms, groups, and communities, and environmental solutions need to be developed in collaboration with the industry's most relevant stakeholders.Focusing on the aviation industry, we analyze the process of generating shared knowledge from an embeddedness perspective, proposing that firms are embedded in both society and markets through networks of relationships that influence their behaviour and sustainability outcomes.This paper proposes a collaborative framework that includes academic, institutional, and company levels to improve aviation using three different tools – stakeholder engagement, alliances, and open innovation. Finally, the paper includes recommendations oriented to face the more relevant environmental issues using this approach. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

Collective action engagement can enable individuals to overcome self-interestedness and work toward shared goals but to “get the institutions right for cooperation” requires an understanding of how the particular set of market and nonmarket relationships really work for participants. In the context of the biodiesel value chain in Brazil, this paper uses a case study to explore how institutional arrangements need to evolve if they are to foster the productive and sustained inclusion of small farmers in collective action to promote sustainable innovation as a regional economic development strategy. The analysis suggest that collaborative arrangements between policy-makers, Petrobras and grass-root representatives acting as agents of farmers shaped the design of the program and provided political and economic incentives for its implementation. However, institutional and socio-technical innovation failed to take-off because during implementation. The number of farmers engaged with the program was only a half than forecasted and productivity was even lower. A primary source of disincentives was the lack of direct engagement of small-farmers in decision-making and the dominance of institutional and cultural arrangements excluding small farmers from linking mechanisms to engage with external agencies. This suggest the need for policy intervention to foster inclusive collaboration based on repeated interactions and community governance mechanisms building trust and common understanding about potential course of actions.

This chapter presents the evaluation of environmental industrial risk in Spain following the methodology outlined in previous chapters. The empirical data collected allowed us to calculate a risk index for the whole of Spain and to develop more detailed spatial analysis for two specific case studies, the cities of Madrid and Seville. The risk index at the national level identifies the Spanish towns at greatest risk from the combined factors of social vulnerability and industrial hazardousness, while the case studies’ findings show that there is no “hot-spot” in Madrid but certain areas of Seville are exposed to very high combined risk.

This chapter is organised into three sections. The first two sections outline the conceptual framework and the empirical procedure used in this project to evaluate the environmental risk generated by the firm. Risk is defined as the result of combining potential hazard, vulnerability and exposure. The framework suggests that the gap separating real – or managed – risk and potential – or evaluated – risk widens with less uncertainty and greater governability. The third section provides a description of the governability of environmental impact in Latin America, where the divide between real and potential risk is low, and where, therefore, methodologies that evaluate potential risk may also be appropriate for interpreting the extent to which evaluated risk is being managed.

This chapter introduces the research project whose results are summarised in the book. It describes how poverty and environmental degradation influence each other in areas where vulnerable populations are exposed to environmental hazardousness generated by industrial activities (‘hot-spots’). It outlines the long-standing conceptual gap in research when addressing the ‘vicious circles’ between poverty and environmental deterioration – a major challenge to sustainable development for business and societies. Seeking to address such challenge, the project is anchored within the perspective of sustainability science, the emerging field of user-inspired research exploring the interactions between human and environmental systems. The chapter then presents the geographical area of study: Ibero-America, providing a description of historical, cultural, and economic Spain-Latin-America relationships. Finally the chapter provides summaries and linkages amongst the remaining chapters.

This chapter provides a summary of the conclusions drawn from all previous chapters, discusses its implications and provides policy recommendations. Limitations are stated as well as directions for further research suggested. The chapter emphasises that on the whole, the results obtained have confirmed the usefulness of our conceptual and methodological tools to assess the risk due to environmental deterioration to which the population of a given territory is susceptible. In the three country-case studies – Spain, Argentina and Bolivia – the comparison of spatial patterns and indicators in two different scales of analysis (regional and ‘census unit’) has identified significant geographic differences in terms of the distribution of vulnerability and hazardousness. In other words, irrespective of their degree of economic development, the three countries present scenarios of high vulnerability and/or hazardousness. This analysis constitutes the first step towards the management of risk and may help in the design of preventive measures. However, solving these problems implies that decision making entities must be capable of acting on the causes of risk.

A nossa pesquisa indica que a Petrobras Biocombustíveis pode ajudar a aliviar a pobreza entre os agricultores familiares de pequena escala, reforçando a integração das partes interessadas no programa brasileiro de biodiesel. Isso corrobora diversos estudos que demonstram a importância das redes compostas pelas partes interessadas (Rowley, 1997; Roloff, 2008), que podem ser particularmente importantes nos programas que visam integrar pequenos agricultores aos mercados internacionais. A Petrobras Biocombustíveis tem de melhorar a participação de tais agricultores, especialmente no nordeste do Brasil, através da identificação e do engajamento de representantes dos âmbitos econômico e social, formando redes de interessados.
