The implementation of on-campus sustainable operations represents a pivotal path for promoting sustainability in the higher education context. Nonetheless, only a scarce number of studies provide a comprehensive assessment of the existing literature on the topic of sustainable campus operations in higher education institutions (HEIs). Accordingly, our research intends to fill this gap. Our review identified 130 focal articles that were predominantly published in high-impact journals. Key themes identified in the literature include carbon neutrality, energy use, waste management, environmental management, and circular economy, with a notable emphasis on the interconnectedness of these topics. The review also highlights the critical role of institutional leadership, governance structures, stakeholder engagement, and technological innovation in driving sustainability on campuses. Despite the growing body of literature, research gaps were identified, including the need for more comparative studies, exploration of funding mechanisms, and improvements in data collection and reporting practices. This study underscores the importance of adopting a structured, holistic approach to campus sustainability in HEIs, which can inform policy development, enhance decision-making, and pave the way for more effective sustainability strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su17020607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,14]],"date-time":"2025-01-14T11:28:31Z","timestamp":1736854111000},"page":"607","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Sustainable Campus Operations in Higher Education Institutions: A Systematic Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6786-1900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel Carvalho","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FEP School of Economics and Management, University of Porto, 4200-464 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3794-901X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Proen\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FEP School of Economics and Management, University of Porto, 4200-464 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"ADVANCE\/ISEG Research, ISEG, Universidade de Lisboa, R.
