One of the essential parts within the transition towards sustainable economies, is the way how higher education prepares its students for their future role in business. In order for them to contribute to corporate social responsibility within the enterprise context, they need specific skills and competences related to sustainable development. Derived from the societal role of business schools in preparing the future business leaders and entrepreneurs, the focus of this paper is the contribution of business schools to sustainability integration. The topic could be wider situated within the context of higher education for sustainable development, which aims at integrating competences for sustainable development into the curriculum, and integrating sustainability measures within campus operations, research and societal role. This reflective article looks at a business school context as a case for institutional efficiency measures. It describes how business schools could implement efficiency measures and apply instruments within their own context, looking at the campus as a ‘living laboratory’ for sustainability innovation. Three tools and instruments to foster sustainability integration on campus, its benefits and possible problems are described: Assessment Instrument for Sustainability in Higher Education; Ecological Footprint Analysis; and Principles for Responsible Management Education. It builds upon the data and results from several action research projects within two Belgian business schools. As a conclusion, the article reflects upon the essential characteristics of these initiatives, as a way to connect sustainability initiatives to efficiency measures. This may be an opportunity for business schools, not yet used to its full potential yet.

It has been the first audit in the area, aimed to respond to the basic question – whether the country has a comprehensive system for disclosing and safeguarding assets that come from crime, to guarantee that such assets are recovered. The audit covered eight entities: the Ministry of Justice, the National Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, the Police Headquarters, the Central Investigation Office of the Police, the Headquarters of the Border Guards, the Internal Security Agency, and the Central Anticorruption Bureau. The audit concerned the years 2016–2018, as well as the events that took place before and after these dates, whenever it was necessary for audit purposes.

Odzyskiwanie mienia pochodzącego z przestępstw oraz przepadek korzyści uzyskanych przez sprawców stanowi istotny element walki z przestępczością i jej skutkami. Może być narzędziem przynoszącym lepsze efekty, niż np. długoletnia kara pozbawienia wolności. Najwyższa Izba Kontroli ustaliła, że w Polsce nie funkcjonuje spójny, kompleksowy system ujawniania i zabezpieczania takiego mienia, zapewniający sprawne jego odzyskiwanie. Średnie zyski z przestępstw w latach 2014–2018 są ocenianena 340,4 mld zł (ok. 3,6% PKB), podczas gdy wartość zabezpieczonego mienia wyniosła zaledwie 2,7 mld zł (tj. 0,8% szacowanych zysków z przestępczości).
