Abstract

Objective: This study explores the link between the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and eco-innovation, as perceived by 1,262 respondents in Brazil. Method: Employing a quantitative approach, we utilized confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear regression to analyze the data. Main results: The findings demonstrate a significant influence of all SDGs on eco-innovation, with Sustainable Development Goal 17 (Partnerships to achieve the goal) showing the strongest correlation. Collaboration is pivotal in fostering sustainable practices. Relevance/originality: This study's key contribution lies in the establishment of a statistically validated analysis framework, applicable in various regional, national, and international contexts, serving as a foundation for future research. Theoretical/methodological contributions: We developed a comprehensive scale grounded in environmental, social, and economic principles to assess the 17 SDGs. The validated measurement tool enhances the understanding of their intersection with eco-innovation. Social/management contributions: Our research has valuable implications for sustainable development managers and professionals, fostering awareness of the SDGs' importance and inspiring strategies for sustainability. It also informs socio-environmental policymaking at regional and national levels, aligning with the 2030 Agenda.
