description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2022 PortugalPublisher:Elsevier BV A particularly visible aspect of multidimensional approaches to human development and ecological boundaries has been the elaboration of various types of indicators. But such an activity has often proceeded without much scrutiny of: (i) the theory and philosophy that underpins the multidimensional conception expressed through those indicators; and (ii) the socio-economic structure behind those indicators. This article addresses those questions, through a comparison of two authors who pioneered multidimensional approaches aimed at a more humane and sustainable approach to development: A. K. Sen, who focused essentially on human development; and E. F. Schumacher, who also advocated a humane approach to development, but within a conception where ecological sustainability is at the core of the analysis. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

As relações entre as pessoas mudaram, exigindo das organizações adaptação a esse novo contexto e ao novo perfil de consumidores, mais exigentes e conscientes dos impactos das ações empresariais no meio ambiente. Assim, conceitos como o de Sustentabilidade e Responsabilidade Social Empresarial ganharam força, sendo necessária a sua compreensão enquanto ativo estratégico das organizações. Esse entendimento passa pela inserção da responsabilidade social na cultura e identidade organizacional e, consequentemente, na exteriorização dessa cultura aos públicos externos, agregando valor à marca e auxiliando na construção de relacionamentos mais duradouros e estáveis, o que dá espaço à atuação dos profissionais de relações públicas. Com o objetivo principal de verificar de que forma a identidade socialmente responsável da Delta Cafés é exteriorizada, em meio digital, através dos temas de comunicação, esta dissertação está estruturada como uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, apoiada em análise documental; pesquisa bibliográfica e estudo de caso. O estudo empírico é realizado a partir do modelo de Prisma de Identidade de Marca proposto por Kapferer (1991), utilizado para análise das mídias sociais da empresa objeto de estudo, nomeadamente o Instagram, o Facebook e o LinkedIn. Através dessa metodologia e com base no novo contexto de comunicação digital, busca-se responder se a exteriorização das temáticas comunicacionais por parte das relações públicas da Delta Cafés, nas mídias sociais, identifica a empresa como socialmente responsável. With the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and especially with the popularization of Internet, the global culture has changing and increasing the access to information. Relations between people have changed, requiring adaptation from organizations to this new context and to this new profile of consumers, more demanding and aware of the impact of corporate actions on the environment. Thus, concepts such as Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility gained strength, requiring their understanding as a strategic asset of the organizations. This understanding involves the integration of social responsibility in the organizational culture and identity and, consequently, the externalization of that culture to external audiences, adding value to the brand and helping to build long-lasting and stable relationships, which gives space to the actions of public relations professionals. With the main objective to verify how the socially responsible identity of Delta Cafés is externalized in digital media, through the communication issues, this dissertation is structured as a qualitative exploratory study, based on document and literature analysis; and case study. The empirical study is conducted from the Kapferer (1991) Brand Identity Prism, used to analyze the social media of the study subject company, including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Through this methodology and based on the new context of digital communication, this research try to answer if the externalization of communication issues by the public relations of Delta Cafés, in social media, identified the company as socially responsible.

A sustentabilidade é um tema que tem ganho uma relevância cada vez maior a nível nacional e mundial, a crescente preocupação com o estado do planeta proporciona uma reflexão maior sobre as ações humanas no quotidiano que, neste sentido, devem minimizar os impactos por meio de produtos, serviços, procedimentos e técnicas relacionadas com um desenvolvimento ambiental mais sustentável. Através da revisão de literatura foi possível identificar e caracterizar elementos importantes para formulação da questão de investigação, servindo como meio conceptual dos conceitos abordados ao longo desta dissertação e dando significado às questões abordadas. De forma a responder às questões de investigação, este estudo explorou por intermédio de questionários a opinião de 320 indivíduos sobre a sustentabilidade ambiental na indústria hoteleira. Simultaneamente investigou através de entrevistas ao corpo de administração de 2 hotéis, 2 grupos hoteleiros e 1 alojamento local as motivações e dificuldades para adotar medidas sustentáveis nas suas unidades. Com efeito, os resultados permitiram concluir que a sustentabilidade ambiental tem vindo a ganhar uma importância maior na vida dos inquiridos e acarreta também uma importância considerável para indústria hoteleira, não obstante entendeu-se que os inquiridos ainda consideram outras comodidades mais importantes na seleção de um hotel ou alojamento local em relação às medidas ambientais sustentáveis praticadas pela unidade, ao mesmo tempo, vii chega-se à conclusão que a gestão hoteleira tem atuado sobre a proteção ambiental dos seus estabelecimentos, mas que o modo como implementam medidas varia de acordo com as estratégia de mercado que estabelecem. The present work aims to identify and describe behaviors, attitudes and actions in the context of hospitality as cooperative measures for environmental sustainability in order to get perspectives from the client side and the manager side. Sustainability is a topic that has gained increasing relevance at national and global level, the growing concern with the state of the planet provides a greater reflection on human actions in daily life, which, in this sense, should minimize impacts through products, services, procedures and techniques related to more sustainable environmental development. Through the literature review, it was possible to identify and characterize important elements that helps formulating the research question, serving as a conceptual means of the concepts covered throughout this dissertation and giving meaning to the issues addressed. In order to answer the research questions, this study explored, through questionnaires, the opinion of 320 individuals about the environmental sustainability in the hotel industry. At the same time, through interviews with the board of directors of 2 hotels, 2 hotel groups and 1 local accommodation, it was investigated the motivations and difficulties about adopting sustainable measures in their units. In fact, the results allowed to conclude that environmental sustainability has been gaining a greater importance in the life of the respondents and also entails considerable importance for the hotel industry, although it was understood that the respondents still consider more important other facilities while selecting a hotel or local accommodation in relation to the sustainable environmental measures practiced by the unit, at the same time, it is concluded that the hotel management has been acted on the environmental protection of its x establishments, but the way they implement measures varies according to the strategies that they establish.

This research paper explores the link between environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings of European firms and their cost of debt capital – a relationship hypothesised to be negative. With multiple regression analysis, including controls for firm characteristics, year and sector fixed effects, this dissertation identifies a possible concave quadratic relationship. Regressed variables are lagged one period in relation to the dependent variable, to address endogeneity issues. In the general sample, the relationship between the variables is positive, but by subdividing the sample into quintiles of the ESG rating distribution, a negative relationship is found in top quintiles while the positive relationship is still seen in lower quintiles. The conclusion of this dissertation is threefold: (1) the top 20% ESG performers have a statistically lower average and median cost of debt than the bottom ones, meaning the firms that have the top ESG ratings are better off in the debt markets; (2) on average, higher quintiles of the ESG rating see a negative relationship with the cost of debt; and (3) the coefficients of the ESG rating squared are all significant, thus confirming a significant concave relationship between the ESG rating and the cost of debt. The results, arguably economically modest, reveal an added benefit for companies that operate sustainably, besides ethical reasons or the other financial benefits identified by previous literature. A sustentabilidade é um tema inevitável do século XXI, e vários estudos já exploraram os benefícios económicos de práticas sustentáveis. Esta dissertação explora a relação entre a avaliação de fatores ambientais, sociais e de governança (ESG) de empresas europeias e o seu custo da dívida – uma relação que se supõe ser negativa. Ao usar análise de regressão múltipla, incluindo parâmetros de controlo de características da empresa, de ano e sector económico, esta dissertação identifica uma relação possivelmente quadrática côncava. As variáveis preditivas são desfasadas de um período, para corrigir eventuais problemas de endogeneidade. Na amostra global, verifica-se uma relação positiva entre as variáveis, mas, ao subdividir a amostra em quintis da distribuição da avaliação ESG, verifica-se uma relação negativa nos quintis superiores. Três conclusões decorrem desta dissertação: (1) as empresas no top 20% de avaliação ESG têm um custo da dívida médio e mediano estatisticamente inferiores ao dos 20% inferiores; (2) em média, os quintis superiores mostram uma relação negativa entre o custo da dívida e a avaliação ESG; e (3) os coeficientes da avaliação ESG ao quadrado são todos significativos, confirmando uma relação quadrática côncava significativa entre o custo da dívida e a avaliação ESG. Estes resultados, apesar de economicamente modestos, revelam uma vantagem adicional para as empresas que operam de maneira sustentável, além de razões éticas ou outros benefícios económicos previamente estudados.

Assiste-se por parte das empresas à sua incorporação, desenvolvendo estratégias de forma a integrar as preocupações mais atuais aos níveis sociais, ambientais e de governação nas suas atividades e operações. Para além das empresas puderem ajudar a mitigar estas preocupações, os investimentos nestas áreas podem trazer-lhes diversos benefícios. Este estudo pretende analisar qual a perceção dos consumidores sobre estes temas e a importância que têm para os mesmos, aplicando-se a um caso prático sobre a seguradora Fidelidade. Com base num inquérito preparado para este fim, cujas respostas eram anónimas, pretendeu-se medir a perceção atual que os consumidores têm sobre a Fidelidade e estudar as formas de aumentar a sua perceção a futuro. More and more, consumers demand companies with responsible and sustainable businesses, becoming terms such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and ESG a part of day by day of the recent enterprise world. Those are being incorporated by enterprises, which are developing strategies to integrate the most recent concerns at social, environmental and governance levels into their activities and operations. Beyond the fact of companies might be able to mitigate these concerns, investments in these areas can reward them with several benefits. This thesis aims to analyse the perception of consumers on these themes and its importance for them, applying it to a practical case about the insurance company Fidelidade. Based on a survey designed for this purpose, whose answers were anonymous, it was evaluated the current perception that consumers have about Fidelidade, as well as it was studied how to increase their perception in the future.

Raquel Carvalho in OpenAIREThere is a gap in most countries’ legal frameworks regarding their ability to connect vacant land and urban gardens. Hence, research is needed to understand how regulation on vacant land might be designed to promote a more sustainable purpose to it. Urban gardens are a type of urban agriculture that could be potentiated by such regulation. The aim of this paper is to show how that can be done through the Municipal Master Plans (MMP) legal and regulatory framework for the Portuguese case, by reviewing worldwide good practices on vacant land restorations for urban sustainable development. The paper comprises a literature review on good practices adopted in different countries regarding vacant lot restoration. The evaluation of good practices is built on the achievement of the three pillars of sustainability. Five Portuguese MMP were used, as empirical data, to support the design of a new legal and regulatory framework. The goal is to enhance the sustainable destination of vacant land by converting it into urban gardens. The analysis of these MMPs demonstrated that they disregard urban gardens as a tool to promote urban sustainability in spite of global trends to make urban territorial planning and management instruments greener. An additional outcome of this paper is to categorise different types of vacant land in the five municipalities under analysis according to their suitability for urban garden conversion. The design of the legal framework enhancing the conversion of vacant land into urban garden will contribute to the 2030 international agenda goals’ achievement. The proposal would create an innovative legal framework in the case of Portugal that could be replicated by other countries.

Despite the efforts from nations to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 °C, as defined in the Paris Agreement (2015), if emissions do not half until 2030, it is likely to achieve a global warming of 2.7 °C by the end of the century. Thus, the assessment of environmental performance become crucial. The objective of this thesis is, then, to measure and compare the environmental efficiency at the country level, over the period 2000-2018, being its main contribution to overcome the lack of literature studies with a global scope. To answer the research questions (How can countries be ranked in terms of their performance? What have been the best and worst performing over time?), a DEA methodology (additive model) was employed. DEA has become a wellestablished tool to judge the relative efficiency in the environmental field. A clustering analysis was also carried out to distinguish countries based on their proximity-to-target value (%), in 2018. The DEA model includes three inputs (population, energy use and GHGs emissions) and two outputs (GDP and renewables). The population and GDP are non-discretionary variables. Regarding the main findings, globally, countries have become more efficient over time. Bhutan, Kiribati, Norway, Nepal and Iceland have been the efficient countries that appear more times in the reference set of other countries, being an example of best practices. In 2018, the poorest 5 performing countries were Russia, followed by Iran, Saudi Korea, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa, being all inefficient since 2000. Despite being inefficient during most of the years, China, United States and India significantly improved their performance which was mainly explained by their higher consumption of renewables. Desde a Revolução Industrial, elevadas quantidades de gases de efeito de estufa (GEE) têm sido libertados para a atmosfera, levando ao aquecimento global e às alterações climáticas. Apesar dos esforços das nações para limitar o aumento das temperaturas em 1.5 °C, como definido no acordo de Paris (2015), se as emissões não forem reduzidas para metade até 2030, é provável atingir um aquecimento global de 2.7 °C até ao final do século. Assim, a avaliação do desempenho ambiental tornou-se crucial. O objetivo desta tese é, desta forma, medir e comparar a eficiência ambiental ao nível dos países, durante o período 2000-2018, sendo a sua principal contribuição ultrapassar a falta de estudos na literatura com um foco global. Para responder às questões de pesquisa (Como é que os países podem ser ordenados em termo do seu desempenho? Quais têm sido os países com melhores e piores desempenhos, ao longo do tempo?), a metodologia DEA (modelo aditivo) foi aplicada. O DEA tornou-se numa ferramenta bem estabelecida em avaliar a eficiência relativa no campo ambiental. A análise de clusters foi, também, desenvolvida para distinguir os países em termos da sua proximidade ao target (%), em 2018. O modelo DEA inclui três inputs (população, uso de energia, emissões GEE) e dois outputs (PIB e renováveis). A população e o PIB são variáveis não discricionárias. Face aos principais resultados, globalmente, os países têm-se tornado mais eficientes ao longo do tempo. Butão, Kiribati, Noruega, Nepal e Islândia têm sido os países eficientes que mais vezes têm aparecido como referência para os outros, sendo exemplos de melhores práticas. Em 2018, os 5 países com pior desempenho foram a Rússia, seguida pelo Irão, Coreia do Sul, Arábia Saudita e Africa do Sul, sendo todos ineficientes desde 2000. Apesar de terem sido ineficientes na maioria dos anos, a China, os Estados Unidos e a India melhoraram significativamente o seu desempenho, explicado sobretudo pelo maior consumo de renováveis.

É uma obrigação da empresa alcançar metas sustentáveis de longo prazo para os seus funcionários e também para o mundo em geral. O papel do gestor de operações é conseguir balançar todos os desafios que surgem à medida que o ambiente económico, social político e tecnológico altera. Há toda uma análise necessária entre os incentivos que o governo de cada país fornece e o proveito que a empresa consegue retirar da implementação destas políticas. Surge aqui a questão fulcral se a adoção destas políticas não é meramente por interesses económicos por parte destas organizações. O presente trabalho visa, por isso, avaliar a aplicação de medidas de responsabilidade social corporativa em empresas internacionais. Foi elaborado através do estudo e análise de duas organizações internacionais com as suas operações já delineadas, a FARFETCH e a FERPINTA. Ao longo do trabalho são avaliados os desafios enfrentados por estes dois grupos internacionais cujo as indústrias nas quais operam são inequivocamente diferentes. Inicialmente, realiza-se revisão de literatura, de seguida é feito um resumo dos dois grupos. Posteriormente, é feita a análise das entrevistas levadas a cabo com diferentes colaboradores e de diferentes departamentos das empresas de forma a recolher uma amostra variada dos pontos de vistas e das ações de responsabilidade social levadas a cabo. Por fim, é feita uma análise geral com a análise dos resultados das entrevistas e dados recolhidos. Após recolhidas e formuladas as análises, são sugeridas possíveis ações de implementação por parte das empresas. Currently, there is an increasing need for companies to adopt some kind of corporate social responsibility measure. It is an obligation of the company to achieve sustainable long-term goals for its employees and also for the world at large. The operations manager's role is to balance all the challenges that arise as the economic, social, political, and technological environment changes. There is a whole necessary analysis between the incentives that the government of each country provides and the benefit that the company is able to derive from the implementation of these policies. Here, the central question arises whether the adoption of these policies is not merely for economic interests. The present work aims, therefore, to evaluate the application of corporate social responsibility measures in international companies. It was prepared through the study and analysis of two international organizations with their operations already outlined, FARFETCH and FERPINTA. Throughout the work, the challenges faced by these two international groups whose industries in which they operate are unequivocally different are evaluated. Initially, a literature review is carried out, followed by a summary of the two groups. Subsequently, an analysis of the interviews is carried out with different employees and from different departments of the companies in order to collect a varied sample of the points of view and the social responsibility actions implemented. Finally, a general analysis is made with the evaluation of the results of the interviews and data collected. After collecting and formulating the analyses, possible implementation actions by the companies are suggested.

This study examines the knowledge and involvement of consumers in sustainability goals, aiming to provide valuable insights to the textiles and clothing industry to foster their social responsibility efforts and enhance consumer interaction. By comprehending and monitoring consumer behavior, organizations can effectively implement sustainable practices and work towards achieving sustainable development goals. For this study, a questionnaire was designed to evaluate consumer concerns, behavior, self-reliance, and perspectives across four key phases of interest in sustainable consumer behavior regarding textiles—acquisition, use, maintenance, and disposal. The results show a compelling insight into the mindset of participants who prioritize budget, quality, comfort, and functionality over sustainability when acquiring new textile items. Most respondents do not participate in clothing rental or sharing and predominantly refrain from purchasing second-hand products, but they expressed a readiness to extend the lifespan of their products and displayed concern about ensuring a responsible end-of-life for their belongings. Moreover, they attach importance to textile products’ social and informational attributes and demand transparency from brands. These valuable data can guide the industry in its interactions with consumers. Scholars are increasingly committed to sustainability and its implications for practical application and policy development.

Estes recursos de que falamos não se referem apenas ao ambiente. Podem também ser sociais e económicos. Esta exploração irrazoável dos referidos recursos e forma de conduzir os negócios levou ao esgotamento dos mesmos, bem como às desigualdades sociais e económicas que vemos hoje (algumas delas relacionadas com a vertente laboral). Nesta dissertação, abordaremos um tema que hoje adquire a mais absoluta urgência. As empresas, na sua busca incessante pelo lucro, têm sido também os líderes na criação dos problemas que acabámos de enunciar. Como tal, devem também ser elas a liderar a solução para estes problemas, quem desenvolve maiores esforços na tentativa de mudar, tanto as acções, como as mentalidades, sendo quem que se encontra na melhor posição e com maior capacidade para afetar as mudanças necessárias. Face às grandes mudanças que se impõem, o próprio consumidor procura agora produtos sustentáveis, pelo que as empresas devem adaptar-se e entregar ao cliente o que este pretende, a fim de se manterem competitivas e rentáveis. É aqui que convergem a Corporate Governance e a Responsabilidade Empresarial, dando origem ao que se apelida Responsabilidade Social Empresarial (ou RSE). Neste contexto, é também importante clarificar a importância dos modelos de governação adotados. Ademais, tentaremos demonstrar a importância de adoção de novas formas de ação e condução da atividade empresarial, respeitando, simultaneamente, as várias partes envolvidas, abandonado a ideia da busca incessante pelo lucro. Adicionalmente, procuramos demonstrar que a RSE poderá ser uma ótima forma de criação de valor para a empresa e como tal pode ser alcançado através da utilização de investimentos e financiamentos responsáveis, incluindo a utilização eficaz da “tributação verde”, olhando para a questão como eventual “dever” dos investidores institucionais. Finalmente, mergulhamos ainda no campo regulamentar europeu e nacional com o objetivo de compreender a sua relevância. Adicionalmente, indagamos acerca do quadro legal nacional, procurando compreender de que forma a RSE se encontra refletida enquanto dever geral para os administradores e gestores, escrutinando e classificando os vários interesses contidos na norma em apreço, constatando o enorme caminho que ainda se encontra por percorrer. For many years, we Humans, have been using the world´s resources at will for our own benefit, without contemplating the consequences that could occur. These resources we speak of do not refer only to the environment. They can also be social and economic. This unreasonable exploration of said resources and way of conducting business led to the depletion of resources, as well as social and economic inequalities we see today (some of them labor related). In this dissertation, we will address a subject that nowadays has acquired the most utter urgency. The companies, in their relentless pursuit of profit, have also been the leaders in creating the problems we just enunciated. As such, they should also be the ones leading the solution to these problems, the ones that make the greatest efforts in trying to change both the actions and mentalities, being the ones in the best position and with the greatest capacity to affect the changes needed. In the face of big changes, the consumer himself is now looking for sustainable products, companies and corporations must adapt and deliver what the customer wants, in order to stay competitive and profitable. This is where Corporate Governance and Corporate Responsibility converge, “giving birth” to what is called Corporate Social Responsibility (or CSR). In this context, it is also important to clarify the importance of the governance models adopted. Furthermore, we try to explain how important it is for companies to adopt a new way of acting and conducting business, while respecting every stakeholder involved, dropping the idea of the relentless pursuit of profit. We also try to demonstrate that CSR can be a way of creating value for the company itself and how that could be achieved with the use of sustainable investment, financing and even through an effective use of “green taxation”, and in what way that constitutes a “duty” for institutional investors. At last, we also immerse ourselves in the European and national regulatory field to understand its importance. Additionally, we look into the Portuguese legal framework, to analyse how CSR is reflected in it as a general duty for administrators and managers, scrutinizing and ranking the various interests within the norm, which still as a long way to go.
