Abstract(s)
Atualmente, o desenvolvimento sustentável faz parte das agendas de países, governos,
investidores e empresas. A alta competitividade do mercado faz com que as empresas mudem
seus estilos de negócios e adotem práticas sustentáveis para conseguirem sobreviver. Neste
contexto, a indústria têxtil têm apresentado esforços cada vez maiores para implementar a
sustentabilidade, no entanto, este é um campo de estudo pouco explorado, especialmente em
países em desenvolvimento. Desta forma, a presente investigação, teve como objetivo
identificar as práticas de sustentabilidade adotadas pela indústria têxtil tendo em conta os
três pilares do desenvolvimento sustentável: econômico, ambiental e social.
Esta investigação, apoiou-se no modelo do Triple Bottom Line de John Elkington (1994) e em
uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa, para responder ao objetivo proposto. Como
técnica de recolha de dados, foi realizada uma análise documental dos relatórios de
sustentabilidade de empresas brasileiras do setor têxtil do ano de 2020, que possuíam os
padrões da Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) para sua publicação. Para análise dos dados,
recorreu-se a uma análise de conteúdo e foi utilizado o software Nvivo para auxiliar no
processo. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as práticas da sustentabilidade ambiental e
social, são as mais implementadas pelas empresas, enquanto as práticas econômicas, foram
muito pouco exploradas. Apesar disso, um foco especial foi dado a fornecedores,
principalmente na perspetiva social da sustentabilidade, o que ilustra o compromisso dos
países em desenvolvimento com estes stakeholders.
Currently, sustainable development is part of the agendas of countries, governments, investors and companies. The highly competitive market makes companies change their business styles and adopt sustainable practices in order to survive. In this context, the textile industry has shown increasing efforts to implement sustainability, however, an underexplored field of study is found in developing countries. Thus, this investigation aimed to identify the sustainability practices adopted by the textile industry in the three pillars of sustainable development: economic, environmental, and social. This investigation was based on John Elkington's (1994) Triple Bottom Line model and a qualitative methodological approach to answer the proposed objective. As a data collection technique, a documental analysis was carried out of the sustainability reports of Brazilian companies in the textile sector for the year 2020, which had the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for publication. For data analysis, a content analysis was used and the Nvivo software was used to assist in the process. The results obtained show that environmental and social sustainability practices are the most implemented by companies, while economic practices were very little explored. Despite this, a special focus was given to suppliers, mainly from the social perspective of sustainability, which illustrates the commitment of developing countries to these stakeholders.
