Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.

The incorporation of environmental issues to strategic planning, called environmental strategy, has been presented as an opportunity for organizations to effectively manage the various pressures and challenges that contemporaneity has been requiring in terms of sustainability. The number of high education institutions that highlight sustainability in their strategy have been increasing during the last few years. Some reasons for this are the increase of competition in the sector, the imposed pressure for their stakeholders and their responsibility in teaching and promoting the principles of environmental ethics and sustainable development. Based on that, this study has the goal of evaluating the environmental strategy of three community institutions of higher education in southern Brazil, based on their employees' perception. To achieve the goal, a research-diagnosis study was conducted through a structured questionnaire in a digital format, in which the measurement of respondents' opinions was performed using a Likert Scale of five points. The results were evaluated based on descriptive statistics and categorized according to the environmental strategies presented on the natural resource-based view framework. It was possible to identify that each community institution of higher education that participated in the study presented a different environmental strategy, based on natural resource-based view framework. The results also indicate that even the University that presents the most developed environmental strategy has problems in disseminating environmental information through its organizational structure, based on employees' perception.

“…Assim, como parte integrante da cadeia produtiva do turismo, o segmento hoteleiro será visto aqui como "engrenagem" fundamental ao surgimento, ao crescimento e à propagação da atividade turística e justamente por isso deve assumir sua responsabilidade perante os impactos causados ao meio ambiente, à sociedade e aos stakeholders envolvidos em seu processo de planificação e operacionalização (CHEN, 2015;FRAJ, MAMUTE;MELERO, 2015). Desta forma, projetos e iniciativas que promovam uma gestão participativa capaz de integrar e contemplar justa e responsavelmente as necessidades oriundas da comunidade, do meio ambiente, do mercado e dos turistas começaram a ser idealizados por empresas hoteleiras -dentre as quais se destacam as redes Marriott, Accor, Hilton e Windsor -com o intuito de se estabelecer um ponto de equilíbrio entre a sanção de suas necessidades e as peculiaridades, as particularidades e as fragilidades territoriais na quais esses atores estão cercados.…”

As fundamentações, os valores, os princípios e as condutas do desenvolvimento de uma prática turística mais sustentável se mostram como o objeto central da análise desse trabalho. Em específico, aqui os autores buscarão enfatizar de que forma propostas de sustentabilidade atreladas ao segmento turístico/hoteleiro devem assumir uma conotação estratégica, participativa e descentralizada que permita atender as necessidades atuais e futuras do trade turístico, de seus stakeholders, comunidades autóctones e turistas, sem deixar de lado as particularidades e as fragilidades a serem apreciadas e monitoradas nas relações de uso que serão constituídas junto às dimensões ambientais, sociais, econômicas, políticas, culturais e espaciais que sustentarão sua cadeia produtiva. Assim, reconhecendo a capacidade de intervenção temporal e territorial, positiva e/ou negativa, que os empreendimentos hoteleiros perpetram e difundem entre tais personagens e dimensões, o presente trabalho apresentará um estudo de caso pautado por pressupostos qualitativos, realizado no Hotel JW Marriott Rio de Janeiro, expondo uma mensuração, por meio da planilha SWOT, de suas práticas, condutas, valores e programas atrelados à sustentabilidade. Desse modo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e análises in loco, os autores identificaram ações que vão além dos preceitos do Triple Bottom Line e que acabam por legitimar o hotel como uma empresa sustentável.
