A missão institucional de uma organização, se bem elaborada constitui-se como uma importante ferramenta de apoio à gestão estratégica das instituições. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o status quo da missão institucional das Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) brasileiras, a partir dos elementos propostos por Pearce (1982) e Pearce e David (1987). Para tanto a trajetória metodológica adotada divide-se em três partes: Revisão de literatura; Coleta de dados e; análise dos resultados. O estudo assume caráter descritivo com abordagem qualitativa do problema e utilização de fonte secundária de pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciam que, adotados os estudos de Pearce (1982) e Pearce e David (1987), nenhuma das IFES brasileiras possui efetividade integral da missão institucional. Os elementos que foram identificados com maior frequência foram “Referencia ao produto ou serviço” e “Compromisso com o desenvolvimento sustentável (econômico/social/ambiental)”, ao passo que os elementos que se referem a “filosofia e valores da organização” e “imagem da organização” são pouco lembrados nas declarações de missão. Da análise comparativa do status quo da missão das IFES, por região do país, concluí-se que as regiões sul e sudeste concentram as universidades que possuem as missões institucionais mais efetivas e que elementos como referência a corpo funcional e outros stakeholders não são contemplados em nenhuma das instituições.

The current world pressure for environmental awareness affected different institutions such as companies, charities and universities. These institutions, as opinion makers and providers of services for the society, transmit environmental awareness through social and environmental management. Thus, the objective of this study, which has an exploratory and descriptive nature, is to build knowledge about the subject social and environmental management in education institutions, by using the Knowledge Development Process - Constructivist (ProKnow-C) as intervention tool. The results allowed us to identify a Bibliographic Portfolio (BP) composed of 14 articles and, through this BP, we found the most highlighted: (i) International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education and the Journal of Cleaner Production as the outstanding journals; (ii) Toward sustainable management: the University of Michigan Housing Division's approach as the most cited article in the BP; (iii) Shriberg, M. as the author who has the highest number of articles in the PB and the authors Velazquez, L. and Munguia, N. as authors who have the highest number of citations in the references of the BP. The most used keyword in PB is Higher Education, followed by sustainable development, sustainability and Environmental Management.

One of the main causes of environmental impacts in industries is the production process, responsible for waste that can cause extensive damage to the environment. The objective of this study is to analyze the environmental sustainability of a beverage industry, focusing on its production process. To achieve the objective of this article presents a case study of exploratory, qualitative and quantitative approach. The study was divided into three phases, the first being the theoretical basis, the second phase of the analysis of sustainability, and the third and final phase of the implementation of the Plan summary environmental management 5W2H. The results indicate that the company has a good environmental sustainability, but has aspects to be improved. As regards the process, the result of environmental sustainability was considered good, but the company provided point deficit that undermined their results, and therefore can be improved and, consequently, improve the overall sustainability of the beverage industry.
