Resumo(s)
As cadeias de abastecimento do setor alimentar enfrentam desafios constantes devido à evolução das necessidades dos consumidores. Para responder de forma segura e sustentável, é essencial implementar estratégias de sustentabilidade ambiental e social que garantam a eficiência das operações. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo geral analisar a implementação de práticas de sustentabilidade ao longo da cadeia de abastecimento do setor alimentar e de que forma a tecnologia apoia esse processo. Os objetivos específicos incluem a identificação dos compromissos assumidos pelas empresas, a implementação das iniciativas e o papel da tecnologia na promoção da sustentabilidade. O estudo segue uma abordagem qualitativa, recorrendo à análise de conteúdo dos relatórios de sustentabilidade de empresas do setor alimentar. A dissertação, destaca a importância da sustentabilidade nas cadeias de abastecimento do setor e como a tecnologia pode auxiliar a implementação de estratégias ao longo do tempo. A sustentabilidade assume um papel cada vez mais central nas empresas, o que faz com que seja essencial a integração de objetivos sociais e ambientais, a mitigação de riscos e a promoção de uma cultura organizacional colaborativa e inovadora. Por fim, as limitações do estudo são: a diversidade de formatos das informações e a falta de transparência sobre o uso de tecnologia nas cadeias de abastecimento. Para investigações futuras, sugere-se uma análise aprofundada do papel das tecnologias na sustentabilidade, estudos sobre a evolução das estratégias sustentáveis a longo-prazo e a perceção dos stakeholders sobre a transparência e eficácia das cadeias de abastecimento sustentáveis e tecnológicas.
Food supply chains are constantly challenged by changing consumer demands. In order to respond safely and sustainably, it is essential to implement environmental and social sustainability strategies that ensure efficient operations. The overall aim of this dissertation is to analyse how companies in the food sector are implementing sustainability practices throughout their supply chain and how technology is supporting this process. Specific objectives include identifying the commitments made by companies, the implementation of initiatives and the role of technology in promoting sustainability. The study follows a qualitative approach, using content analysis of the sustainability reports of large companies in the food sector. Throughout the dissertation, the importance of sustainability in food supply chains is highlighted, as is the way in which technology can help to implement sustainability strategies over time. Sustainability is playing an increasingly central role in business, making it essential to integrate social and environmental objectives, mitigate risk and promote an organisational culture based on collaboration and innovation. However, companies face challenges in implementing sustainability strategies. Finally, limitations of the study include the diversity of information disclosure formats and the lack of transparency on the use of technology in supply chains. For future research, we suggest a more in-depth analysis of the role of emerging technologies in sustainability, studies on the evolution of sustainable strategies over time, and stakeholders' perceptions of the transparency and effectiveness of sustainable and technological supply chains.
