Moreover, it investigates the SD goals (SDGs) and results (SDRs) that Portuguese organizations with integrated management systems (IMSs) disclose to their interested parties. The study, supported by content analysis, highlights that four most frequently disclosed SDGs are \u201clife on land\u201d (50.0%), \u201cindustry, innovation, and infrastructure\u201d (47.1%), \u201cresponsible consumption and production\u201d (47.1%), and \u201cpartnerships for the goals\u201d (47.1%). The four SDRs most frequently disclosed are \u201cemployment\u201d (82.4%), \u201ceconomic performance\u201d (79.4%), \u201canticorruption\u201d (64.7%), and \u201coccupational health and safety\u201d (61.8%). Hence, SDG disclosure emphasizes the environmental dimension, while SDR disclosure highlights the social dimension (economic dimension present in both SDGs and SDRs). Finally, the disclosure of SDGs and SDRs in institutional reports presents a positive and strong correlation that is statistically significant. Overall, the contributions of this research are twofold. First, it highlights the awareness of SD goals and results publications within organizations with certified management systems standards, therefore supporting the integration of the SDGs within those organizations, and second, it stimulates the demonstration of their impacts on the SDGs (the SDRs).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su151511904","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]],"date-time":"2023-08-02T11:04:38Z","timestamp":1690974278000},"page":"11904","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Strategic CSR: Framework for Sustainability through Management Systems Standards\u2014Implementing and Disclosing Sustainable Development Goals and Results"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5668-0656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, ISEP, Polytechnic of Porto, 4249-015 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Associate Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aerospace (LAETA-INEGI), 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0234-4547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipe","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology, Polytechnic Institute of Cavado and Ave, IPCA, 4750-810 Barcelos, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9268-3272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gilberto","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Design School, Polytechnic Institute of Cavado and Ave, Campus do IPCA, 4750-810 Barcelos, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Meadows, D.H., Meadows, D.L., Randers, J., and Behrens, W.W.
