Nutrition of the employee at work has a huge impact both on his health and labor productivity, and therefore on the financial well-being of the enterprise. But today it is wrong to limit ourselves to these factors. In today's world, it is impossible to separate human health or the well-being of an enterprise from the environmental component. Therefore the eco-consciousness and eco-choice of the worker, including in nutrition as well as carrying out the eco-policy at production is very important. The modern man spends a lot of time at work, so a healthy diet plays an important role for his health. Today healthy nutrition means ecologically conscious or in another way - sustainable. Sustainable healthy eating in the workplace should be seen as a comprehensive initiative. In today's global climate imbalance, it is nutrition awareness and sustainability that will not only improve health and business performance, but also have an impact on mitigating environmental problems. Awareness of sustainable diets and common dietary practices in the workplace are investigated. The impact of nutritional-ergonomic strategies on physical employment standards, workplace safety and productivity is analyzed. A contemporary approach to nutrition based on informed employer choices in the context of nutra-ergonomics adjusted for environmental sustainability is discussed, helping to optimize employee health and well-being. Recommendations for workplace nutrition interventions to normalize weight and improve employee health are discussed, taking into account the current requirements of the sustainability goals. Practical intra-ergonomic sustainable strategies and recommendations for employee workplace nutrition are offered. The company's eco-initiatives in sustainable nutrition for its employees help not only to show concern within the framework of production activities, but also increase the education of citizens in the issues of eco-sustainability in everyday life. This increases the eco-education of the individual, which creates conscious consumption and minimalist views in all areas of life, both for the employee and possibly for his or her environment - family and friends. Investing in nutrition in the workplace is a high return on investment for the employer, which can improve the health of workers, create comfortable working conditions, increase efficiency and productivity in the workplace. It is a direct pathway to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 3 (good health and well-being), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production).

New managerialism and the pervasive neoliberalisation of universities is by now a well-established phenomenon. Commentaries explore the political and economic drivers and effects of neoliberal ideology, and critique the impact on higher education and academic work. The impact on the health and well-being of academic staff has had less attention, and it is to that we turn in this paper. Much academic interest in neoliberalism stems from the UK, Australia and the United States. We draw particularly on studies of public Irish universities, where neoliberalism, now well entrenched, but something of a late-comer to the new public management party, is making its presence felt. This conceptual paper explores the concept of neoliberalism in higher education, arguing that the policies and practices of new public management as exercised in universities are a form of bullying; what we term institutional bullying. The authors are researchers of workplace culture, workplace bullying and incivility. Irish universities are increasingly challenged in delivering the International Labour Organisation (ILO) principles of decent work, i.e., dignity, equity, fair income and safe working conditions. They have become exposed in terms of gender imbalance in senior positions, precariat workforce, excessive workload and diminishing levels of control. Irish universities are suffering in terms of both the health and well-being of staff and organisational vibrancy. The authors conclude by cautioning against potential neoliberal intensification as universities grapple with the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper reviews neoliberalism in higher education and concludes with insight as to how the current pandemic could act as a necessary catalyst to stem the tide and ‘call out’ bullying at the institutional level.

Demonstrate the impact of the information discipline and profession in transforming and changing the life of people through sustainable development practices and policies. Quantitative and qualitative research design collected data from information academicians and professionals. Questionnaires and interviews were used to obtain primary data while document analysis and related sources provided secondary information. Decent work and economic growth is the leading and relevant rudimentary goals of sustainable development practices that provides not only perfect employment and wealth creation opportunities but also the fundamental denominator to poverty eradication, food security, quality education, good health and well-being as well as clean water and sanitation. Post-implementation strategies for building sustainable development practices should connect the social, economic and political aspects of people with practical policies.

Introduction. The main priorities for the development and reform of the health care system are to create conditions for improving the quality, life expectancy and efficiency of citizens by increasing the availability of medical services and medical care, improving the quality of medical services, early prevention and prevention of timely medical care. The aim of the article is to develop recommendations for ensuring the availability of medical care as a basic basis for the formation of good health and well-being of the population on the way to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Methods (methodology). The general scientific methods, in particular theoretical generalization - for research of theoretical bases of maintenance of availability of medical care are applied in research; system economic analysis - for correlation-regression analysis of the relationship between morbidity, mortality and economic affordability of medical services in Ukraine. Results. The impact of public and private sector expenditures on the level of morbidity was analyzed and compared, which showed that both factors have a positive impact on reducing the incidence rate. At the same time, there is a tendency to increase household spending on health care and the purchase of medicines much faster than at the state level, which confirms the targeted trends in health care reform to significantly reduce the number of free medical services. To a certain extent, these trends are positive, but in the event of a significant deterioration in the situation with the level of morbidity, this financial policy should be revised.

The significance of the impact of water-related diseases on human health has been recognized as a major threat to sustainable human development in some international forums. This study is an investigation into the correlation between unclean water and the outbreak of water-related diseases in Nigeria. It was established from the review of previous researches that the concept of clean water and sanitation is critical to the good health and well-being of all individuals. Nigeria still has a long way to go towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal number 6 (SDG 6) of the United Nations, hence it is high time government at all levels and individuals embraced Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) agenda 2030.

Abstract Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can contribute to the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental performance in organizations. However, the relationship between CSR, employee health and well-being has not been frequently assessed despite an increased awareness that this relationship can contribute to sustainable workplaces. To identify studies addressing the relationship between CSR and employee health and well-being within the EuCIropean context, we conducted a systematic literature search using Web of Science and Medline. Of the 60 articles screened for inclusion, 16 were retained. The results suggest that the majority (n = 14) of the identified studies aimed to understand the impact of CSR strategies on employees’ job satisfaction. None of the studies investigated the relationship between internal CSR and physical health. There was no clarity in the measurement of either internal CSR or the extent to which it affected employee outcomes. There is a need for consensus on measurement of internal CSR and of the health and well-being-related outcomes. Public health and occupational health researchers should be part of the discussion on the potential role of CSR in physical and psychological health outcomes beyond job satisfaction.

Regarding the theme of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we decided to concern ourselves with the 3rd goal, “Good Health and Well-Being”, the 12th goal, “Responsible Consumption and Production” and the 17th goal, “Partnerships to achieve the Goal”. Concerning our action involving obesity, we have conducted very detailed research. We realized that obesity and child obesity are both huge problems since the rates around the world nowadays are very high. In an attempt to understand the reasons behind this, we designed a questionnaire, so we could test how healthy our classmates’ lifestyle is. Then we contacted a nutritionist and they helped us make an informational leaflet about obesity, which we distributed to others. Lastly, we designed an online game concerning eating habits. While we did our research, we found out that our daily eating choices impact the environment greatly. Thus, changing our eating habits for the better may prove to be the most effective way to help the environment.
