Sustentabilidade no setor industrial : uma análise das empresas no município de Passo Fundo (RS)

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals were created by the United Nations in 2015 and present global goals with a deadline to be achieved by 2030. They aim to mitigate various environmental and social problems worldwide. Achieving the specific goals of each Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) depends on the commitment of all nations involved in this purpose. And more specifically, companies within each nation play a key role in achieving these global goals. The main objective of the work is to investigate which companies in the city of Passo Fundo, in Rio Grande do Sul, are declaring sustainable actions and contributing to the achievement of global goals. The information was qualitatively collected through the official websites of twelve companies in the municipality. The good practices found were related to the Sustainable Development Goals, with the aim of analyzing the actions that companies develop. Some actions appeared more frequently, such as, for example, practices to carry out sustainable consumption of water resources in the production process, use of renewable energies, reduction of inequalities, waste management, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and preservation biodiversity, mainly meeting SDG 6, 7, 10, 12, 13 and 15. On the other hand, SDG 1, 5, 11 and 14 appear in few actions in the twelve companies studied.
