“…The voluntary agreement can be an alternative if there is an intense political backlash against taxation (Innes and Sam 2008). Firms can have a green reputation by participating in the agreement and benefit from lower production costs as a result of compliance (Stavins et al 2008). However, voluntary environmental agreements may face a freerider problem or can be misused as a shield for the industry against regulations (OECD 2003, p. 16).…”

Green buildings can play a role in helping countries meet their commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Green building can provide an important contribution to sustainability, for example, by improving energy efficiency, by improving indoor air quality, and by effective waste treatment. In practice, we see that there is an increasing interest in various forms of green building. However, the existing literature has not identified the role of law in promoting green building. It is, moreover, striking that green building has taken off in a rather impressive manner in China. Although generally there are still huge environmental problems with which China is confronted, for many years already China has been engaged in green building. This paper wants to examine what explains the relative success of green building in China; What specific legal instruments can be used to promote green building; and what lessons can be drawn more generally from experience in China? The paper uses the theory of smart regulation (Gunningham/Grabosky) and the economic analysis of law to examine the importance of different instruments in promoting green building. The paper comes to two key results, being that no single instrument in itself is optimal to promote green building as a result of which a smart mix needs to be designed to promote green building; moreover, for the specific case of China, it is the large government involvement in the economy that has been able to jump-start green building. The Chinese government has, on the one hand, mandated green building in government projects, but on the other hand, also used market-based instruments (like subsidies and public procurement) to promote green building.

“…Stavins;Reinhardt;Vietor (2008) Os índices da bolsa de valores "Dow Jones Sustainability Index" (DJSI) e o "FTSE4Good", concebido para medir, de forma objetiva, o desempenho de empresas que são reconhecidas globalmente, são referência em responsabilidade corporativa (FTSE, 2011). De forma geral, a metodologia empregada nestes índices é baseada na aplicação de critérios para avaliar as oportunidades de riscos derivados das dimensões econômicas, sociais e ambientais para cada uma das empresas eleitas no "Dow Jones Sustainable Index World Investment Stock Universe" (DJSI, 2010).…”

Resumo: A Engenharia de Produção deve abordar preocupações relativas ao desenvolvimento sustentável considerando a tecnologia, os modelos de gestão das organizações e seus stakeholders. Este artigo objetiva analisar a percepção dos colaboradores da Beta Inovação em Engenharia Ltda. quanto às ações de Responsabilidade Social da empresa. Os itens do questionário foram construídos considerando as dimensões de Responsabilidade Social definidas por Araújo (2006) e a técnica de grupo foco com os funcionários, realizada para auxiliar a elaboração dos itens a serem utilizadas no questionário, constituindo a parcela qualitativa desta pesquisa. A parcela quantitativa está relacionada aos itens do questionário que obedeceram a uma escala Likert. Os resultados foram apresentados em termos de percentuais, médias, intervalos de confiança e representação dos dados com o gráfico boxplot. Com maior média está o item referente às ações e negócios da empresa que, na percepção dos colaboradores são pautadas em padrões éticos. A avaliação do colaborador quanto a sua participação como voluntário apresenta a menor média. Para que a Beta mantenha credibilidade, sugere-se uma contínua construção de relacionamento por meio do planejamento de comunicação e respectivo monitoramento das ações da empresa junto aos seus stakeholders. Recomenda-se que outros públicos de interesse sejam alvo de levantamentos futuros. Palavras-chave:Responsabilidade Social Corporativa. Responsabilidade Corporativa. Ações Sociais.
