- Consequences of greenwashing: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Ribeiro, Maria Isabel; Fernandes, António Pedro Ribeiro; Fernandes, Ana Isabel Ribeiro; Lopes, Isabel Maria; Fernandes, AntónioGreenwashing is reflected in the green marketing strategies that companies and organizations frequently use to increase their competitive advantage and turnover by attracting ecologically conscious consumers. It occurs when the conduct of greenwashers does not align with the information they disclose about their environmental performance. In this context, the main objective of this research was to analyze the consequences of greenwashing practices. To achieve this objective, a systematic literature review was conducted in the Scopus database on August 21, 2023, using defined criteria and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Based on the established selection criteria, 15 documents were analyzed. Most of the analyzed manuscripts were articles, grouped into 9 distinct thematic areas, underscoring the multidisciplinary nature of the greenwashing phenomenon. The results obtained enabled the identification of the consequences of greenwashing practices, with impacts on consumers, investors, cooperating companies, owners/shareholders, and society. Specifically, greenwashing increases confusion and misinformation, fosters consumer skepticism, influences purchase intentions, affects the company's profitability, and can cause significant ethical damage, manipulates society's values towards consumerism, promoting waste, harms consumers' well-being and society’s interests, undermines the credibility of companies and organizations, hinders sustainable purchasing behavior, and leads to a loss of consumer confidence.
- Perceptions of higher education students on bioeconomy: a comparative study between Portugal and BrazilPublication . Ribeiro, Maria Isabel; Tomazini, Cecilia; Perondi, Miguel; Fernandes, António Pedro Ribeiro; Fernandes, Ana Isabel Ribeiro; Fernandes, AntónioCurrently, sustainability is a pressing issue, driven by environmental disasters caused by human activities that threaten the planet's life. Thus, the aim is to harmonize conflicts between economic, environmental, and social spheres by harnessing the ancestral knowledge of traditional communities and developing clean, innovative technologies that can mitigate the impacts of human actions, generate financial returns, and enhance social well-being. In this context, bioeconomy is considered by numerous scientists, politicians, and managers as a means to achieve sustainability or a bioeconomic state, as it conceives of the economy as dependent on nature; that is, the environment and the economy must be in balance in the same equation, which does not reduce economic activity to a mere mechanism nor nature to a source of raw materials. In this way, the bioeconomy encompasses biotechnology and bioresources, with the development of clean technologies using renewable raw materials to create new bio-based products, as well as bioecology, which involves valuing ecosystem services and promoting environmental protection. However, for the bioeconomy to be widely incorporated into concrete actions, it needs broad social acceptance, since it will be people, especially young people of current and future generations, who will implement it. In this sense, the primary objective of this study was to investigate the perceptions and level of knowledge of young higher education students in Brazil and Portugal regarding the term 'Bioeconomy', and verify whether factors such as nationality, place of residence, and scientific field of study of the course attended influence their knowledge about the topic. A crosssectional, quantitative, analytical survey was conducted using an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 28, and the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare knowledge levels between the two nationalities, controlling for place of residence and field of study. The survey received 878 responses, with 74.9% of respondents being of Portuguese nationality and 25.1% being Brazilian. It was found that Brazilian students are more familiar with the term Bioeconomy (53.2%) than Portuguese respondents (37.1%). Furthermore, Brazilians also have a higher level of knowledge, with 47.2% of students classified as having a very good or good level, compared to 22.6% for the Portuguese. Regarding sociodemographic data, for the Brazilian group, an association was observed between place of residence and the level of knowledge in Bioeconomy, with a higher level of knowledge among residents of urban areas. For the Portuguese, the difference was observed in the field of study, with a greater inclination towards Biological Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, and Engineering. Thus, public and private initiatives in countries related to sustainable development and the bioeconomy directly influence students' knowledge and support for the bioeconomy since Brazil makes significant investments in higher education, science, and technology linked to the bioeconomy, which can be evidenced by the higher level of knowledge about the bioeconomy among Brazilians.
