Abstract

In this study, we focus on SDGs 10 and 12, namely, reducing inequalities and sustainable consumption and production, and analyze the MNEs' operationalization of waste management strategies with formal and informal waste pickers in Brazil. The findings suggest that whilst institutional voids impede MNEs from implementing SDGs, uncertainty in the institutional context can enable opportunities to modify the weak institutions and support the advancement of SDGs. Furthermore, MNEs are observed as institutional entrepreneurs and engage in transgression of existing rules via three steps - delineating institutional boundaries, strategizing for implementation of SDGs, and adopting transgressions both within HQ-subsidiary structures and host countries (stretching and buffering).
