“…Rather, di Tullio and La Torre (2022) highlighted the risk that the dispersion of sustainability information on universities’ websites will deinstitutionalise the practice of SR. Moreover, as noted by Brandao et al (2019), the high complexity of the universities’ administrative structure and the co-existence of several campuses can increase the complexity and hamper the data collection during the reporting process.…”

Purpose The porpose of this study is to critically consider the use of global reporting initiative (GRI) guidelines in universities’ sustainability reports.. In light of the recent literature and Habermas’s thinking, the study advances the research field by considering the process of internal colonisation from steering institutions and makes suggestions regarding the future role of GRI in the higher education (HE) context. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a systematic literature review and content analysis for enhancing the critical reading of GRI applications in HE studies. The results are analysed in light of Habermas’s thinking, considering the GRI as a steering institution and its guidelines as steering mechanisms. Findings This study updates the literature review on sustainability reporting (SR) at universities and underlines the general trend in the employment of the GRI in this context. The results highlight the need to adapt the GRI to enhance its applicability in the HE context by considering additional dimensions such as research, teaching and operations. In doing so, the framework loses effectiveness and weakens the role of the GRI as a steering institution. Practical implications The results suggest that the GRI guidelines should be reframed to enhance comparability among reports and increase its wider employment at universities. Social implications Universities need to be guided in their accountability process towards SR by dedicated frameworks. This study suggests the potentially pivotal role that the GRI could play in providing dedicated tools for HE to steer and enhance the development of SRs at universities. Originality/value This study presents an updated review of studies on SR at universities and suggests possible paths for the future of the GRI framework applicability to universities’ SR.

A problemática ambiental, como a poluição do ar, água e solo, e a crise de recursos naturais, requer urgência e provoca a discussão acerca da sustentabilidade. Neste contexto, o debate em torno da Educação tornou-se um elemento essencial na busca por um modelo que viabilize o crescimento econômico e o bem-estar comum da sociedade. À vista disso, o trabalho busca revisar a literatura para investigar iniciativas que promovem o desenvolvimento sustentável em instituições de ensino. Verifica-se que a inserção da sustentabilidade nas práticas educacionais pode ser considerada como ferramenta para a transformação da sociedade. Desta forma, concluímos que, através da adoção de práticas que envolvem inclusão da sustentabilidade em projetos pedagógicos, a aplicação de gestão ambiental e de infraestrutura voltada para economia de recursos naturais, as escolas e universidades podem ampliar o alcance de suas atividades e assim acelerar os processos de mudança que apontam para um futuro melhor.

Purpose: To analyze and discuss how the topic of sustainability is addressed in higher education institutions (HEIs) in publications linked to the area of management.Design/approach/methodology: To meet the proposed objective, a bibliometric review was developed based on a qualitative analysis in order to investigate implicit or explicit references to the way sustainability is discussed in academia.Results: It appears that, although the importance of HEIs in the formation of a sustainable social mentality is well established in theoretical and practical debate, their role portrayed in studies still seems modest and diffuse.Research limitations/implications: The main limitation of this study refers to the restriction of the results found, as they are based on a selection and the delimitations and methodological choices of the research found in the bibliometric review.Originality/value: In addition to the relevance of the theme, this study allows a panoramic view of how sustainability is being approached in higher education institutions, as these are important agents that form and guide sustainable development in society. The study also has practical value, as the inferences found can support and direct managers’ decision-making in favor of the inclusion of sustainability in academia.
