“…Mobilizing and sensitizing public servants is crucial if A3P is to be effectively implemented. It is also necessary to plan and monitor actions using performance indicators, which are considered fundamental tools to support managers (Di Agustini & Giannetti, 2018). Environmentally appropriate activities should be encouraged, such as implementing selective collection of recyclable waste, reducing consumption of water and other natural resources, replacing disposable cups with reusable alternatives, and using more efficient electronic devices, among others.…”

Public Sector Social-environmental Diagnosis Model: application in a federal autarky, Rio de Janeiro

Abstract: The Brazilian public administration system has thousands of organizations and departments at federal, state, and municipal levels, distributed throughout the national territory. These conduct activities that can have significant social and environmental impacts. The present research aims to propose a sustainability index through the Public Sector Social-environmental Diagnosis Model (DISASP). This model is based on the Environmental Management Accounting System developed by researchers from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The proposed model complements this system by including the guidelines of the Environmental Public Administration Agenda, a Ministry of the Environment program that encourages socio-environmental management practices in the government sector. The DISASP method was tested in a federal autarky in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For institutional diagnosis, seven managers were sent a questionnaire containing 124 questions with eight thematic axes: Rational Use of Natural Resources and Public Goods; Adequate Waste Management; Quality of Life in the Work Environment; Awareness and Training; Sustainable Public Procurement; Sustainable Construction; Social and Environmental Responsibility; and Institutional Management. A “weak” sustainability index was obtained, indicating the need for this sector to improve its socio-environmental performance. The study indicated that DISASP adequately fulfilled its role as an instrument for assessing socio-environmental practices in the public sector. Future studies should extend application of the DISASP method to the autarky under study at various points in time, as well as apply it to other public agencies.

“…However, putting them into practice can be challenging. Scientific knowledge regarding the disruption of terrestrial ecosystems by organizational activities is still incipient and therefore often uses estimates, which, because they contain subjectivities, are the subject of controversy and debate (Di Agustini & Giannetti, 2018).…”

Purpose: To Identify and catalog the sustainable practices adopted in the Amazon Region. Sustainable development in the Amazon region is fundamental for the balance between human presence and the preservation of nature. Every productive chain that involves Amazon needs to avoid the degradation of the region. Theoretical framework: The theoretical bases that supported the research were extracted from scientific articles indexed by SCOPUS, from books about sustainability practices in the Amazon. Methods: We perform a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA protocol. The study covered articles published in SCOPUS from 1989 to 2022. As an inclusion criterion, the articles should cover topics related to sustainable development practices in the Amazon region. The articles were cataloged by journal, study area, economic sector, and sustainability practices. Results and conclusions: Researchers from Latin America, mainly from Brazil, are the ones who are most dedicated to studying sustainable practices and actions in the Amazon region. The studies indicate a connection between production activities and actions that seek and are concerned with environmental sustainability. The researcher's interest in the Brazilian Amazon forest was identified, with emphasis on studies of sustainable forest management, deforestation, the study of rubber, geographic information systems for better monitoring of the region to contribute to planning and management, and the study of environmental degradation driven by the deficiency of government management. Research implications: The sustainable actions and practices characterized in the Amazon examined show what is being studied by the scientific community globally in the Amazon region and in which economic segments the practices of technological sustainability can be observed. Originality/value: Expands understanding of sustainable actions and presents proposals and recommendations for studies up to 2050 in the Amazon.

“…In this sense, business practices aimed at sustainable development have multiplied in recent years. Owing to the relevance of the theme, several studies have sought to shed light on the issue of sustainability in organizations with various end activities, such as those in the water and sanitation (Di Agustini & Giannetti, 2018), textile (Amaral et al, 2018), furniture , dairy (Santos et al, 2017), energy (Jugend & Figueiredo, 2017), and agriculture (Sellitto & Hermann, 2016) sectors.…”

Evaluation of the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of banking institutions in Brazil using the Analytic Hierarchy Process with ratings approach

et al. 2021

Large banking institutions play an important role in sustainable development, especially owing to their size and capillarity. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare sustainability indicators (economic, environmental, and social) published in the reports of some of these institutions that operate in the Brazilian market. The four banks selected for this study were the ones that published their sustainability reports in the 2017 Global Reporting Initiative standard, and that comprised the portfolio of the Corporate Sustainability Index, promoted by “Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão,” in 2018. These banks were Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Itaú, and Santander. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with the use of ratings was used to carry out the research. After elaborating on the hierarchical structure of the problem, specialists, who were researchers in the field of sustainability, were required to weigh the degree of relevance of each of the indicators analyzed in this study. A ranking of the selected banks was then obtained in relation to their sustainability performances, which was based on the weights given to each indicator and the data available in the sustainability reports of each institution investigated. The banks were ranked in the following order: Itaú, Santander, Bradesco, and Banco do Brasil. The results of this study showed that there is room for evolution in relation to sustainability, mainly in the social department, in the banking sector. The AHP method with the use of ratings proved to be efficient, especially because it allowed for the weighing of the evaluation criteria and sub-criteria; this proved the usefulness of the method in comparing companies with regard to their sustainability performance.
