“…Additionally, Partnership and Dialogue deepen stakeholders' common understanding of actions, particularly focusing on the different roles played by higher education teachers when faced with sustainability challenges (Godemann et al, 2014). The supplementary principle of Operation implies the involvement of higher education teachers in organisational practices, serving as role models in conveying values and attitudes (Houston et al, 2023). These elements represent higher education teachers' professional characteristics, revealing their unique role in the development of sustainable leadership.…”

“…Based on this theoretical framework, the present study establishes a model of the correlation between the sustainability of higher education institutions and the sustainable leadership of university teachers, comprising three important dimensions, as depicted in Figure 1. The first dimension is founded upon the TBL of economic, social and environmental bottom lines (Amaral et al, 2015),while the second dimension is based upon the specific manifestations of the sustainability of higher education institutions, encompassing education, research, campus operations, community outreach, assessment reporting, and campus experience (Lozano et al, 2013), and the third dimension is anchored in the principles advocated by the PRME, namely Purpose, Value, Method, Research, Partnership, Dialogue and Operation, representing the core characteristics of university teachers' sustainable leadership (Houston et al, 2023).…”

The emergence of the concept of sustainability has caused higher education teachers in higher education institutions to reflect on the rationality of their behaviour. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the concept and implications of the sustainability of higher education institutions and the sustainable leadership of higher education teachers by adopting a literature review approach, combined with the uniqueness of the higher education domain, based on the Triple Bottom Line and Principles for Responsible Management Education. The close relationship between the sustainability of higher education institutions and the sustainable leadership of higher education teachers will be theoretically validated by establishing a correlation model between these two elements. This research not only deepens the consideration of sustainable development in higher education, but it also provides guidance and support for its practical implementation.

Policy initiatives from the United Nations and EU institutions have emphasized the need for higher education institutions (HEIs) to fulfil a significant role in green transitioning. However, they tend to fall short of the achievement of this objective. Multiple studies indicate that HEIs assign high importance to the integration of environmental sustainability on a strategic level but generally lack dedicated policies of integration in operational aspects. This paper’s research aim is to provide a meta-study that reviews, analyzes, and assesses the state of the art on research on HEI sustainability. The paper also contributes to the state-of-the-art by mapping institutional sustainability self-assessment models, tools, and guidelines in four prominent research areas: (1) sustainability integration in educational activities, pedagogical perspectives, and systemic transformations; (2) benchmarking sustainability of organizational transformation and operational optimization, and links between developmental priorities and educational settings; (3) whole-system approaches focusing on the design and implementation of whole-institution sustainability plans; and (4) HEI sustainability culture and operations. The paper’s final contribution is the presentation of best practices and emerging trends in the literature. These practices were selected on the following qualitative methodological criteria based on the systems-thinking approach to whole-institution assessment: (1) the effectiveness of self-assessment models, tools, and guidelines in each respective research area; (2) the degree of integration of systems thinking and/or modeling; and (3) the incorporation of qualitative indicators for stakeholder engagement.

Policy initiatives by the United Nations and EU institutions have emphasized the need for higher education institutions (HEIs) to fulfill a significant role in the green transition, and that they tend to fall short of the achievement of this objective. Multiple studies indicate that HEIs assign high importance to the integration of environmental sustainability on a strategic level but generally lack dedicated policies of integration in operational aspects. This paper analyzes the state of the art on research on HEI sustainability and maps institutional sustainability self-assessment models, tools, and guidelines. The mapping was conducted in four prominent research areas: 1) sustainability integration in educational activities, pedagogical perspectives, and systemic transformations; 2) benchmarking sustainability of organizational transformation and operational op-timization, and links between developmental priorities and educational settings; 3) whole-system approaches focusing on the design and implementation of whole-institution sustainability plans; and, 4) HEI sustainability culture and operations. Best practices were selected on criteria of 1) the effectiveness of self-assessment models, tools, and guidelines in each respective research area; 2) the degree of integration of systems thinking and/or modelling; and 3) the incorporation of qualitative indicators for stakeholder engagement.
