Resumo(s)
Nos últimos anos, a sustentabilidade tem-se afirmado como uma preocupação crescente à escala global, impulsionando a adoção de práticas e modelos de desenvolvimento mais conscientes e responsáveis, com vista à mitigação dos impactos socioambientais e económicos atuais. Nesse contexto, as cooperativas surgem como organizações promissoras, capazes de articular os pilares da sustentabilidade, ao alinharem a eficiência económica à promoção do bem-estar social e à preservação ambiental, contribuindo, assim, para uma sociedade mais justa e com melhores condições de vida. A presente dissertação tem como objetivo compreender de que forma estas entidades promovem práticas de consumo sustentáveis e alcançam as metas definidas nos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentáveis estipulados pelas Nações Unidas, com particular incidência no ODS 7 – Energias Renováveis e Acessíveis. Para esse efeito, adotou-se do ponto de vista metodológico, uma abordagem qualitativa exploratória, utilizando-se entrevistas semiestruturadas e o focus group a um total de sete trabalhadores da Coopérnico como técnica de recolha de dados. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que este modelo de negócio está cada vez mais presente, apresenta um elevado potencial e oferece oportunidades relevantes. Contudo, há ainda um longo caminho a percorrer e inúmeros desafios a ultrapassar, que condicionam a sua atuação. Esta investigação realça o papel das cooperativas enquanto agentes fundamentais na construção de um futuro mais sustentável, eficiente, equitativo, e em consonância com os objetivos da Agenda 2030.
In recent years, sustainability has emerged as an increasingly pressing global concern, driving the adoption of more conscious and responsible development practices and models aimed at mitigating current socio-environmental and economic impacts. Within this context, cooperatives have arisen as promising organizations, capable of integrating the pillars of sustainability by aligning economic efficiency with the promotion of social well-being and environmental preservation, thereby contributing to a fairer society with improved living conditions. This dissertation aims to understand how such entities promote sustainable consumption practices and contribute to the achievement of the goals defined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy. To this end, a qualitative, exploratory methodological approach was adopted, with data collected through semi- structured interviews and focus group with a total of seven employees of the energy cooperative Coopérnico. The findings revealed that this business model is becoming increasingly prominent, shows high potential and offers relevant opportunities. Nevertheless, several challenges and structural barriers remain, which continue to constrain its scope of action. This research highlights the role of cooperatives as key agents in the construction of a more sustainable, efficient and equitable future, in alignment with the objectives set forth in the 2030 Agenda.
