Introduzindo metodologias eficientes: uma proposta ESG na cadeia de suprimentos supermercadista brasileira

Abstract

Amidst the landscape of business research, environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) stands out as a burgeoning field dedicated to best practices that companies can adopt to foster environmental stewardship. Recently, supermarket chain groups, aligned with global trends, have begun to focus their attention on these innovative practices. The research at hand proposes a view of methodologies associated with ESG in the context of Brazilian supermarkets, aiming to identify international approaches capable of driving efficiency and sustainability in the supply chain management of these groups. The absence of structured practices in the national scenario is emphasized, underscoring the need for an integrated approach that harmonizes sustainable principles with financial gains. Throughout the methodological stages, from analyzing the national and international landscape to selecting the most relevant methodology, analytical tools such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the PESTEL model are employed. The chosen methodology, the Food Recovery Hierarchy (FRH), emerges as the prominent choice amongst the alternatives considered for implementation in the Brazilian context. Delving into the FRH, the research briefly explores how this methodology can integrate into the national context, highlighting its benefits and implementation challenges.
