Abstract The necessity to protect natural resources in accordance with the idea of sustainable development is an indisputable issue. Not only the industrial sector organizations, but those of the public sector as well must join this process. The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme can play an important role in this respect. 3.7 thousand organizations have already registered in the EU EMAS register, including, unfortunately, only 71 from Poland, of which almost 40% from the public sector. The author tries to set out the benefits, resulting for the public sector organizations from the implementation of the scheme, but also the barriers and weaknesses of the system, which makes it not very popular in Poland. The results of the author’s own research carried out in 2016 among representatives of EMAS system, inter alia, of public sector organizations in Poland were used for this purpose.

Purpose Knowledge management (KM) is increasingly becoming critical to public sector organizations as it is to private sector organizations. This is because public sector organizations are increasingly held accountable for their actions and are forced to move away from traditional bureaucratic approaches to more managerial ones. For instance, public sector is facing pressure to improve its operational efficiency such as productivity, lead time and expenditure. Similarly, it is also facing pressure to improve its transparency, trust, reliability and accountability, which are key elements of sustainable development (SD). The purpose of this study therefore is to understand the intricate relationship between KM processes, operational efficiency and SD in the public sector. Design/methodology/approach A framework consisting of eight constructs (knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge capture, knowledge storage and retrieval, knowledge sharing, knowledge utilization, operational efficiency and SD) and their underlying items was developed through an extensive literature review. Using 383 usable responses collected through a structured questionnaire from the UAE public sector, the constructs and framework were first validated and then the current level of implementation/achievement of KM processes, operational efficiency and SD was assessed along with the hypothesized relationships between the constructs. Findings The findings show that KM processes had a positive and significant direct impact on operational efficiency and SD. Also, operational efficiency was found to strongly mediate the relationship between KM processes and SD. Practical implications The findings are expected to help UAE public sector organizations devise strategies and policy interventions to align and improve their KM processes for achieving operational efficiency and SD. Public sectors looking to focus on SD must focus on KM processes and strive to improve stakeholder engagement, which is a vital aspect of SD. Originality/value Integration of KM processes, operational efficiency and SD has not been attempted previously and hence constitutes the novelty of this work.

This paper explores the financing framework for sustainable development in Uruguay, an emerging economy, and examines whether available financing instruments contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in which significant progress is still required in this country. Reports, policy documents and academic literature were reviewed to determine the types of sustainable development financing instruments available, and to analyse the challenges facing emerging economies in this regard. In addition, the financing programmes available from the public sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the financial sector and multilateral credit agencies were examined. The results obtained show that the main financing sources for sustainable development are located within the public sector due to the absence of a developed financial market, and that the existing financial instruments do not address the SDGs where most attention is required. The latter circumstances make it challenging to achieve these SDGs in Uruguay. The study findings highlight the need for greater coordination among all parties to make efficient use of the scarce resources available to an emerging economy and thus enable it to meet its SDGs.

The Relationship

The article considers innovative processes and innovative activity of subjects as a factor of sustainable development. Factors putting back and facilitating the innovative processes in the low-tech sector of the economy are singled out. It is substantiated that the transition to an innovative economy raises the requirements for the workforce quality, and, consequently, the organization of labor. This involves raising the level of labor remuneration to the world standards. To ensure the sustainable development of the region, an optimal competitive environment is needed. Therefore, the relationship between the innovative development of the Russian economy and the level of market competition has been revealed. Measures for increasing innovative activity in industrial regions are proposed.

In modern conditions, innovative activity is a special purposeful systematic set of measures to use innovative potential in order to achieve a new quality in the economic system in the process of ensuring its sustainable development. The implementation of innovative projects by industrial enterprises leads to disturbing influences in the form of innovative structural changes in the implementation of innovative structural units, affects the stability of economic systems and the effectiveness of their innovative activities. The presence of the legal grounds for changing the organizational structure of the enterprise in connection with the implementation of the activities aimed at the development of innovative goods and products is a prerequisite for the introduction of innovative units at an industrial enterprise. It should be noted that the regulatory framework governing innovative activity is quite contradictory and imperfect due to the lack of certain consistency regarding the definition of basic concepts and the existing conflict and inconsistency of legal regulation of relations in the field of innovative activity, so the relevance of its research and analysis is beyond doubt.  Keywords: legal fundamentals, innovative unit, industrial enterprises, sustainable development
