“…Such considerations are fundamental to sustainable entrepreneurship as they not only concern the possibility of facilitating overall economic growth with respect to sustainable development but also ensure the ability to safeguard the company's position within the market in the long run. Additionally, resource optimization plans may affect the transition towards sustainable entrepreneurship, though the argument calls for more in-depth research to confirm the relationship [59].…”

Industrial economic activity is one of the primary causes of environmental degradation and a source of issues related to social inequality. Nevertheless, research has shown that the application of the sustainable entrepreneurship model can significantly improve environmental and social conditions while maintaining continuous and sustainable economic growth. Despite that, statistics show relatively low engagement in sustainable entrepreneurship, potentially due to a lack of expertise among entrepreneurs. Due to the low engagement, available sustainability performance metrics are not a relevant measurement tool. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify a set of criteria that evaluate expertise levels in sustainable entrepreneurship within the manufacturing industry. Through the application of monographic and secondary data analysis methods, the authors carried out a literature review. The findings indicated that sustainable management is a key component to the triple-bottom-line (TBL) framework that is used as a conceptual basis for sustainable entrepreneurship. Additionally, the authors identified 19 criteria of sustainable entrepreneurship within four dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, economic, and management). Despite the limitations, with a more refined literature review, the criteria could be applied as a comprehensive resource to estimate expertise in sustainable entrepreneurship in future studies on small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Organizations craft their identities to define their character and effectively communicate their values to stakeholders. In the contemporary quest for sustainability, building an identity that genuinely reflects their awareness and attention to these issues is increasingly salient. Over the years, research on organizational identity exhibited constant growth, witnessing the power of organizational identities exerted over organizational behavior. Prior research has emphasized the importance of organizational identity for an array of positive organizational outcomes. Still, much less is known about the levers behind the identity formation process. Against this backdrop, the present study explores the pathways to the formation of a sustainable organizational identity. By drawing on organizational identity and sensemaking literature, we build up a narrative inquiry, analyzing the experiences and perspectives of executives from 25 Brazilian coffee producers through in‐depth interviews. The findings underline that the process of formation involves three phases, namely, orienting toward sustainability, acting sustainably, and forging a sustainable identity, which are also shaped by contextual factors. We emphasize the key role of leadership in building a sustainable identity, as their motivations and sustainability‐oriented commitments could serve as catalysts for triggering organizational change.
