Sustainability Reporting in State Universities: An Investigation of Italian Pioneering PracticesEconometric Modeling: Microeconometric Studies of Health
This study aims to focus on the following research question: Which institutional characteristics are associated with sustainability reporting by UK higher education institutions?Design/methodology/approachTo answer the aforementioned research question, this study uses logistic regression.FindingsThe results show that 17 per cent of the UK higher education institutions report on their sustainability (July 2014). In line with legitimacy and stakeholder theory, logistic regressions provide evidence that the larger the size of the institution, the higher the probability of reporting. By contrast, high public funding decreases this probability.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings show characteristics of higher education institutions that support or hamper sustainability reporting. Overall, the findings imply a lack of institutionalisation of sustainability reporting among higher education institutions.Originality/valueAlthough a lot of research has been done on corporate sustainability reporting, only a small number of studies have addressed the issues of sustainability reporting of higher education institutions. This study covers all sustainability reports disclosed among the 160 UK higher education institutions. It is the first study that investigates characteristics of higher education institutions that disclose a sustainability report.
