This paper aims to provide an understanding of dynamic capabilities (DC) and critical factors (CF) responsible for the development of sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI), presenting an overview of the literature through descriptive analysis and identifying dynamic capabilities and critical factors for SOIs. For that, we develop a systematic literature review. Therefore, we propose a conceptual framework that shows that SOI's development depends on DC (absorptive, environmental, competence, the ability for innovation, resource integration, organizational, networking, and technological) and fourteen CFs. We also identify paths for further studies regarding four main streams. The framework is a state of the art representation, and its structure would be useful to promote SOIs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper adopts the meta-analysis technique to a sample of 29 empirical articles to investigate the relationship between the board of directors' characteristics and environmental disclosure. The paper also investigates whether the findings are moderated by differences in country-level factors, such as geographic location, rule of law, environmental policy stringency and the level of commitment to sustainable development goals, and differences in the measurement of environmental disclosure. The results reveal that board size, independence, gender diversity, environmental committee and board meetings significantly and positively influence environmental disclosure. In addition, the findings show that geographic location intervenes in the relationship between board size, independence, CEO duality and environmental disclosure. Finally, the relationship between board size, CEO duality, and environmental disclosure is moderated by the measurement of the dependent variable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
