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.

“…As empresas buscam maximizar seu prestígio social e, dessa forma, competem pelo reconhecimento dos clientes, investidores, empregados, comunidade e até concorrentes (Betts, Wiengarten & Tadisina (2015). Uma boa reputação organizacional cria um obstáculo de natureza intangível difícil de ser transposto, de forma que para ser duradoura e resiliente, depende de investimentos no relacionamento com todos os stakeholders (Fombrun, 1996).…”

A necessidade de utilizar de maneira adequada e sustentável os recursos naturais do ambiente deve estar cada vez mais presente no cotidiano das pessoas, do poder público e das empresas. Diante disso, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as iniciativas e práticas ambientais adotadas por um grupo de empresas estabelecidas no Vale do Caí, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Para atingir tal objetivo, foi realizada uma survey por meio de um questionário elaborado a partir do relatório "Indicadores Ethos para negócios sustentáveis e responsáveis" (Ethos, 2013). Os resultados indicam que grande parte das empresas pesquisadas manifesta preocupação com questões voltadas ao meio ambiente, como a geração e a destinação dos resíduos poluentes e a redução no consumo de energia. Além disso, destaca-se o fato de que apenas uma pequena parcela das empresas pesquisadas se preocupa com a redução no consumo da água.Palavras-chave: meio ambiente, iniciativas ambientais, práticas ambientais, pequenas e médias empresas, Vale do Caí.

“…Stakeholder theory is applied at the level of the stakeholder pressure influence the firms to actively implement the environmental supply chain management practices. Theory of stakeholder is well recognized and has been used in the supply chain management (Genovese, Lenny Koh, Kumar, & Tripathi, 2013;Sarkis et al, 2010;Betts, Wiengarten, & Tadisina, 2015). RBV suggest that manufacturing firms are more likely to implement practices, if their employees have capabilities and knowledge resources.…”

The purpose of this research is to examine the mediation role of environmental training in the relationship between perceived stakeholder pressure and implementation of the environmental supply chain management practices. A survey was administered to manufacturing firms and hypothesis was tested using structural equation modeling analysis. This research suggests that environmental training is mediates the relationship between stakeholder pressure and implementation of environmental supply chain management practices. The results suggest that managers perceive that stakeholder pressure and environmental training are important to themselves. In this study overall, market stakeholders had a stronger relationship with the implementation of the environmental supply chain practices than the regulatory stakeholders. The findings also indicate that stakeholder pressure is an essential driver for implementation of environmental supply chain management practices. This study is one of the first to investigate the relationship between the stakeholders' pressure and environmental supply chain management practices in manufacturing firms. The study also offers important implications for managers and partitions. Future research direction and limitation are also discussed.
