This study aims to examine whether SNI IEC 60969:2009 as a requirement for testing Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) performance can be used sustainably for reducing energy consumption in the building sector to support the implementation of sustainable procurement according to ISO 20400:2017.After improving energy efficiency under IEC Guide 118:2017, the study results show that the power factor values that can be selected as the requirements for performance testing of SNI IEC 60969:2009 are in the range of 0.55-0.95. With the value range of this power factor, in theory, producers and consumers' energy consumption to turn on 15 W CFL will decrease in minimum per year by 41,304,183 kWh and will reduce in maximum per year by 247,825,099 kWh.

Interviews were conducted with managers in Portuguese companies, which take sustainable development goals into account in their business strategies. The results suggest that sustainable development and business strategies are not always adopted integrally top-down within a company. It was also noted that political changes and decisions imposed by the government positively affect the sustainable business strategies of companies in the renewable energy sector but not in the construction sector. Thus, policymakers should strengthen general awareness of this matter by reinforcing existing knowledge of or introducing the topic of the problems and solutions inherent in the concept of a green economy in compulsory education. Companies could form R%D partnerships with higher education institutions to innovate in their sector of activity. Companies could further explore the concept of industrial symbiosis, developing new products and exploring new markets. Journal: Int.

The research analysed 324 interviews with employees from southern Brazil through quantitative techniques, such as linear regression, factorial analysis, and variance analysis. The study revealed that the economic dimension explains 27.60% of the leadership for sustainability, while social and environmental dimensions explain 25.54% and 20.27 %, respectively. The research concludes that: i) human resource policies should be proposed from the leadership for sustainability perspective; ii) sustainability-focused company programs and actions should be better communicated to employees; and iii) organisations should invest more in sustainability programs and efforts for the internal public, as a strategy to talent retention. Finally, the study provides relevant evidence for social researchers and human resource managers by distinguishing factors that influence talent retention and recommending elements for a sustainable human resource management debate.

This paper aims to examine the intention to purchase sustainable products and how gender moderates the intention. For this purpose, stimulus-organism-response model was chosen at the level of predicting sustainable behaviour. Data were collected using the online survey from the current or potential users of sustainable goods and services. Major results revealed that perceived behavioural effectiveness and ecological awareness are significant factors driving sustainable purchasing. This research makes explicit contribution to the industry and suggested the importance of adopting a promotional focus on spreading the benefits of sustainable consumption and reducing the environmental problems that plague the planet. In addition, women show a greater attitude towards sustainable consumption which suggests important practical implications. Journal: Int.

Every product has a life cycle which starts from extraction and utilisation of raw material, production and uses to final disposal of a product. Incorporating environmental factors during the manufacturing (production, assembly and testing) stage of the product life cycle leads to sustainable manufacturing. It leads to the improvement and development of a sustainable product life cycle approach. The study's main aim is to identify and explore the significant environmental factors with the impact to improve sustainable product life during product manufacturing. The conducted research helps manufacturing managers to understand various issues related to environmental aspects of the product and how they can be used gainfully to improve the sustainable product life cycle for other products (B2B). This further helps the company to benchmark itself with other companies in its public domain. Journal: Int.

A panel data analysis Abstract: The study explores the relationship between innovation indicators and Intellectual Property Rights on sustainable development (SD) in 129 countries. Based on Porter's hypothesis, the study argues that properly framed IPR laws can induce innovations that may promote a nation's sustainable development. The hypothesis ascertains that stringent regulation may not hamper the innovative process but instead promote it by producing more efficient and less-pollutant products and processes. The study constructs three indexes of SD; genuine saving, ecological footprint, and pollution-sensitive Human Development Index. For innovation, the study proxies with the patent application, trademark application, and research and development expenditure (R%D). The intellectual property rights index measures the strength of IPR in a country. The individual estimation among the countries' lower-middle-income, upper-middle-income, and high-income categories establishes the significant role of R%D on SD irrespective of index and country's classification. The results, however, produce mixed evidence of the impact of other innovation variables on SD. The U-shaped relationship between IPR and SD indicates the immediate negative and long-run positive impact of IPR on SD. Journal: Int.

This challenge demands a science, technology and innovation policy (STIP) suited to the territory's characteristics. The state of Michoacán in México has undergone several institutional changes to its STIP, reconfiguring its institutional infrastructure. We analyse the contribution of institutional changes to building an innovation system capable of facilitating the SDGs' territorialisation in Michoacán. These changes have not responded to generating regional agendas that meet the challenges identified at territorial level. A STIP governance model is necessary to promote mechanisms for configuring an innovation system that fosters solutions considered by the SDGs. Our research highlights the importance of linking the institutional changes and the SDGs with a territorial perspective. Journal: Int.

Abstract: Previous studies have increasingly referred to the green employee as a promising resource for eco-innovation. However, as the concept was only vaguely defined until recently, empirical research is missing. Thus, this paper explores 'innovative green employees' and their potential for eco-innovation, based on interview data from four green German companies of a small to medium size. We find that such employees mainly contribute to corporate eco-innovation by generating and discussing pro-environmental ideas. In our sample, these ideas mainly revolve around fostering eco-friendly consumption at the workplace. Further, our results suggest that innovative green employees contribute to corporate greening by transforming the values and behaviours of colleagues as environmental role-models and opinion leaders. To this end, they draw on their environmental knowledge, professional and private networks, authenticity and credibility as well as on the dialogue culture present in their company. Journal: Int.

A multiple case study shows how industrial symbiosis emerges through partnering and stakeholder processes that take the form of collaborative business models. Focusing on actors, platforms for collaboration, and content of stakeholder processes, the study identifies drivers for industrial symbiosis emergence, including the importance of geographical proximity and agglomeration, which identify port industrial areas as natural habitats for industrial symbiosis. A defining characteristic of industrial symbiosis emergence within port industrial areas is the collective effort of actors to bridge economic, environmental, and social objectives across private and public sectors. Finally, the paper suggests that future research on industrial symbiosis and the emergence thereof within port industrial areas may benefit from insights into corporate social responsibility and the emerging field of servitisation.

The analysis of the reality refracted in public opinion is a proxy to the change in the management styles of large companies. This paper analysed the sustainability strategies of companies indexed in the IBEX 35. First, a semantic and contextual analysis of 424 news items published in the press for the 35 main Spanish companies during 2019 was carried out using T-LAB software. The Factiva® database, owned by Down Jones and Company©, was used. Second, an fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) analysis was carried out to analyse the dissemination blueprints in international media of the green strategies of the IBEX 35 companies. Economic and media attributes were used to analyse the causal relationship. The results suggest the design and implementation of different strategies for the international media representation of business sustainability. Journal: Int.

In this study, the relationship between universities and the most competitive industries in their regions is analysed with the graduate theses of universities focusing on those industries. Twenty-six universities in Turkey, which are regularly included in seven Entrepreneurial-Innovative University Index (EIUI) rankings, and their regions were selected. The strongest and the most competitive sectors in the manufacturing industry of the selected regions were determined by the Balassa RCA Index and Foreign Trade Balance Index. The number of graduate theses related to those sectors is divided by the number of academicians, and a score is obtained. Universities are ranked according to this score. As a result, this ranking was compared with the EIUI rankings of the universities, and the similarities were interpreted. Journal: Int.

In this way, the present study aims to present a synthesis of the most relevant academic research that relate Green Innovation and the company's financial and environmental performance, knowing in a standardised way the scientific information on the theme. Through an integrative literature review, 66 academic papers published in the journals of Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, between 2012 and 2019, were analysed. The results showed that most studies were carried out in industries in developing countries. In addition, the results also demonstrated a positive relationship both between GI and financial performance (55%) and between GI and environmental performance (48%) in most of the studies analysed. These findings can contribute to the researchers for the formation of a solid conceptual based on the subject, guiding for future research. Journal: Int.

In order to obtain insights and identify research gaps in the context of food technology evaluation research, this study conducts a systematic review of empirical studies that utilised established explanatory models with food chain actors. Out of 183 primary studies included from 1991 to 2017, the majority was conducted in developed countries, while only 23% targeted developing countries. Further, most studies have looked at genetically modified food, with consumers being the most common stakeholder considered. Regarding the models, theory of planned behaviour and protection motivation theory were by far the most frequently applied explanatory models. Our results highlight the need for research on the evaluation of novel food technologies by non-consumer actors for a holistic understanding across the supply chain. Journal: Int.

It is very much helpful to countries to study such impact in bringing things back to normal. This paper presents a novel 3R (Reasons-Responses-Recommendations) approach to study and review the impact of COVID-19 on the Environment from the lens of five related sustainable development goals (SDGs). Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is a facilitator to the 3R approach for uncovering findings from the data using statistical methods and visualisation. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Sustainable Development Pages: 229-243 Issue: 3 Volume: 17 Year: 2023 Keywords: COVID-19; environment; review; sustainable development; EDA; exploratory data analysis; SDG; sustainable development goal.

It generates poverty, social marginalisation and low quality of life. In that sense, the understanding of the systemic contributors to poverty and exclusion can help find better strategies to improve the population's quality of life. The present work studies the spatial dimensions of the marginality in Mexico as its geography and location. A robust ranking model is proposed to find robust parameters of ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité (ELECTRE) III method, analyse the marginality of regions and find extreme marginality in geographical areas. The main finding is a map of marginality in Mexico, showing regions with extreme marginality. The study regards marginality dimensions based on education, housing (services access) and incomes in the population. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Sustainable Development Pages: 104-122 Issue: 1/2 Volume: 17 Year: 2023 Keywords: marginality; geographical marginality; regions of Mexico; robust ranking; ELECTRE III.

The method used was qualitative. Interviews were conducted with the main actors that represent the interest groups, who influence the socio-environmental and economic dynamics of the protected area. The results showed the need to intensify spaces for environmental education, direct economic investment, and community inclusion, as well as support in the development of productive activities. The main academic and public policy implications and productive units of the studied area are discussed. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Sustainable Development Pages: 123-137 Issue: 1/2 Volume: 17 Year: 2023 Keywords: shared meanings; socio-environmental heritage; rural economic dynamisation; sustainability; protected areas.

The objective of the paper is the selection of investment portfolios considering the 30 main companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange of the Dow Jones Index. Portfolio selection in this index is carried out by generating a previous ranking of the shares with a novel approach that analyses the performance of the shares in a multiple criteria hierarchical process (MCHP). The ordering is generated with the hierarchical version of the ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité (ELECTRE) III method using different decision criteria based on financial ratios. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Sustainable Development Pages: 67-84 Issue: 1/2 Volume: 17 Year: 2023 Keywords: portfolio selection; Dow Jones; Markowitz model; profit and risk; MCHP; multiple criteria hierarchical process; muticriteria ranking; ELECTRE III.
