Abstract:O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como é o processo de adequação da agroindústria às normas internacionalmente reconhecidas de sustentabilidade (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 e SA 8000). Para tanto, foi estudado um frigorífico exportador de carne bovina no Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Observou-se que o processo de implantação das normas de sustentabilidade foi realizado por meio do cumprimento dos requisitos normativos exigidos para a certificação, a partir do desenvolvimento de programas socioambienta… Show more

Civil construction is one of the most important sectors for economic and social development, alternatively, it is a generator of waste that is commonly discarded in an irregular manner causing negative environmental impacts. Seeking knowledge in databases for innovation has become a common practice in most organizations in the development of new products, due to the evolution of information technology. Patent data shows changes in the structure and development of a country's creative activities in technologies, industry, and companies. Analyzing the competitiveness between inventors and companies is feasible as patents contain descriptions of inventions and their functionalities. This study aims to collect patent information on mortars using construction and demolition waste (CDW) as an alternative raw material. We performed the research in an exploratory way with the purpose of defining more viable technological routes, determining the types of materials to be used, and the minimum and maximum percentages of substitution of the natural aggregate for the recycled aggregate. We used the patent databases Google Patents, European Patent Office (EPO) through Epacenet, and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) available on Patentscope. As a result, 70 patent application records were identified according to the search descriptors, with Brazil as the country with the highest number of registrations. A survey of the number of patents deposited, published, office, and/or country was performed following the International Patent Classification. The results have the potential to contribute to the design of improvement strategies when using construction and demolition residues in mortars.

“…Um conceito mais amplo de desenvolvimento sustentável se apoia na integração de três dimensões (econômica, ambiental e social), constituindo o tripé da sustentabilidade, conhecido como Triple-Bottom Line -TBL (Elkington, 1998). O conceito TBL tornou-se amplamente conhecido (Labuschagne et al, 2005;Savitz, 2006;Araújo & Mendonça, 2009;Carvalho & Viana, 1998;Coral, 2002;Araújo, 2010;Munck et al, 2012) e [...] essa visão mais abrangente de sustentabilidade vem em grande medida por iniciativa e pressão da sociedade. (Carvalho & Rabechini Junior, 2011, p. 302).…”

“…De acordo com Araújo & Mendonça (2009) e Altenfelder (2004, os conceitos de desenvolvimento sustentável e sustentabilidade são distintos: o desenvolvimento sustentável é comumente associado à expectativa de um país que entra numa fase de crescimento que se mantém ao longo do tempo; a sustentabilidade é a capacidade de autossustentar-se e de automanter-se. A esse último conceito estão atrelados termos como desenvolvimento ou crescimento econômico, mas que seja sustentável (Santos & Hatakeyama, 2012).…”
Despite the increasing diffusion of project management practices, the discussion of issues related to environmental, social and economic sustainability is still incipient. This study aims to assess the integration of sustainability into project management. The methodological approach used was an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted in six projects in the food service companies. Data were gathered through project documents and semi-structured interview with the projects' stakeholders. The results of the pilot tool for the systematic evaluation of sustainability in projects and its practical application are described. The paper concludes that the pilot tool proposed presents a systematic logic with applicability for assessing sustainability in the context of project management. Finally, the results of the assessment show that the economic dimension still overlaps the environmental and social dimensions.
“…As the document Our Common Future, developed by the World Commission on Environment and Development, the concept of sustainable development (SD) is one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations (WORLD…, 1987). The concept of SD, according to Araújo and Mendonça (2009), is synonymous of rational society, clean industries and economic growth. A broader concept of SD is based on the integration of three dimensions: social, environmental and economic, constituting the sustainability tripod, known as Triple-Bottom Line (TBL) which became widely known (ELKINGTON, 1998;KNOEPFEL, 2010;LABUSCHAGNE;BRENT;VAN ERCK, 2005;MENDONÇA, 2009;CARVALHO;RABECHINI JUNIOR, 2011).…”

Despite the increasing diffusion of project management, it is still incipient the discussion of issues related to sustainability in environmental, social and economic dimensions. This study aims to assess the integration of sustainability into project management. Was used as methodological approach an exploratory research through ex-post fact study conducted in two projects in the food service companies. Data were gathered through project documents and semi-structured interview with projects'stakeholders. As results are presented the evaluation tool of sustainability in projects, as well its practical application. It concludes that the pilot tool proposed presents a systematic logic with applicability for assessing sustainability in the context of project management. Finally, the results show a limited use of sustainability concepts in project management and which still the economic dimension overlaps the environmental and social dimensions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
