Resumo(s)
Atualmente a competitividade nos mercados no país e no mundo atinge níveis
bastante elevados, como seria de esperar com a quebra de barreiras naturais devido à
globalização. Por este motivo a sustentabilidade dos modelos de negócio assume um
papel bastante importante nas operações de uma empresa, e qualquer vantagem
competitiva que se possa ganhar pode ter impactos bastante significativos na vida de uma
empresa. Neste sentido a existência de um modelo de economia circular nas operações
das organizações tornou-se um objeto de estudo bastante importante. Com essa grande
necessidade da economia circular, os investigadores são incentivados a explorar a
implementação da economia circular, identificando os fatores, barreiras e práticas que
fomentam a circularidade.
O objetivo do presente trabalho é precisamente analisar a presença de práticas de
Economia Circular nas principais empresas portuguesas associadas ao Business Council
for Sustainable Development (BCSD), avaliar a circularidade presente e relacionar os
Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentáveis (SDG) impostos pelas Nações Unidas com a
presença de práticas de Economia Circular. O método de recolha de dados utilizado foi a
análise documental, especificamente de Relatórios de Sustentabilidade. As principais
conclusões retiradas são a existência de maior concentração em estratégias relacionados
com o design e desenvolvimento dos produtos e dos processos em detrimento de práticas
de extensão do ciclo de vida dos produtos e das suas partes. Adicionalmente foi concluído
que a comunicação dos SDG por parte das empresas apresenta fragilidades e tem ainda
uma grande margem de melhoria e ainda que os SDG 9(Inovação e Infraestruturas) e
10(Reduzir as desigualdades) contribuem indiretamente para um aumento e melhoria das
práticas de EC.
Currently, competition in the country’s markets and in the World’s markets reach quite high levels, as expected with the breaking of natural barriers due to globalization. For this reason, sustainability in the business models plays a very important role in the operations of an organization, and any competitive advantage that can be gained can have very sustained impacts on its life. In this sense, the existence of a circular economy model in the companies operations has become an important object of study. With this great need for the circular economy, researchers are encouraged to explore the implementation of the circular economy, identifying factors, barriers, and practices that promote circularity. The objective of the present study is precisely to make an analysis of circular economy practices existing in the most important Portuguese companies associated to the Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD), evaluate the circularity present in these and connect the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) imposed by the United Nations with the eventual existence of Circular Economy practices. The data collection method used was document analysis, specifically Sustainability Reports. The main conclusions drawn are the existence of a greater concentration on strategies related to the design and development of products and processes to the detriment of practices that extend the life cycle of products and their parts. Additionally, it was concluded that the communication of the SDGs by the companies presents weaknesses and still has a great margin of improvement and additionally that the SDGs 9(Industry Innovation and Infrastructures) and 10(Reduced Inequalities) indirectly contribute to an increase and improvement of CE practices.
