O âmbito do presente trabalho é identificar e caraterizar alguns dos fatores que influenciam o desiderato da inovação sustentável, enquanto contributo para o desenvolvimento sustentável. A atual estratégia baseada na competitividade e sustentabilidade é partilhada por nações, diversos organismos nacionais e internacionais e empresas. A competitividade deve ser pautada por um sentido de responsabilidade que, perseguindo o desenvolvimento sustentável, minimize os potenciais efeitos negativos das nossas ações por via de produtos, serviços, processos e modelos de desenvolvimento inovadores. Assim, a sustentabilidade e inovação, como fatores fundamentais para alcançar uma vantagem competitiva a longo prazo, tem-se revelado um aspeto central para as empresas de maior sucesso. Recorrendo à revisão de literatura procedeu-se à identificação e caraterização de alguns fatores e determinantes, que servem como impulsionadores da inovação sustentável. Os resultados desta revisão permitiram elaborar uma ferramenta conceptual, que designamos por matriz para a inovação sustentável. Foi-nos possível concluir que a inovação sustentável é desencadeada por drivers internos e externos, que incluem um conjunto de fatores e determinantes impulsionadores. O estudo resultou na identificação e caraterização de quatro fatores e respetivos determinantes: sociedade civil, governo, concorrência e estrutura da empresa. Após a identificação e caraterização procedeu-se à análise de diversos estudos científicos com o objetivo de validar os fatores e determinantes identificados. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que todos os fatores identificados têm um impacto positivo na inovação sustentável, não obstante também sugerirem que alguns determinantes desses fatores não apresentam uma influência relevante.
The following work aims to identify and characterize some of the factors that influence the intake on sustainable innovation as a contribution to sustainable development. The current strategy based on competitivity and sustainability is shared by nations, many national and international organizations and businesses. Competitivity should be guided by a sense of responsibility that, following sustainable development, should minimize the potential negative effects of our lives through products, services, processes and models of innovating development. Thus, innovation and sustainability, as fundamental factors to achieve a long-term competitive advantage, have been revealed as a central aspect for the more successful businesses. By resorting to literary review, we undertook the characterization and identification of some factors and determinants, which serve as boosters of sustainable innovation. The results of these reviews allowed the elaboration of a conceptual tool, designated as matrix for sustainable innovation. It was possible to conclude that sustainable innovation is triggered by internal and external drivers that include a set of factors and determinants. The study resulted on the identification and characterization of four factors and their determinants: civil society, government, competitiveness and business structure. After the identification and characterization we proceeded with an in-depth analysis of various scientific studies with the aim to validate the identified factors and determinants. The obtained results allowed concluding that every identified factor has a positive impact on sustainable innovation, regardless they also suggest that some determinants of those factors do not show a relevant influence.
