Purpose: Conditioning factors of the globalized world have created new requirements and opportunities in developing management models for organizations that englobe sustainability aspects, which presume substantial investments in innovation. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the relation between sustainable innovation practices and the performance of industrial companies. Design/methodology/approach: This was a quantitative study and carried out by applying a research survey in Brazilian industrial companies. Findings: The results showed that there are significantly positive associations between several variables related to sustainable innovation practices and company performance, being, therefore, possible to confirm the original proposed hypothesis. Research limitations/implications: The main limiting factors were theoretical choices, comprehension of the phenomenon through the perception of the respondents, and the number of companies in the sample, as little representation was found in the researched population. In this manner, the results cannot be applied to the universe of considered research, being restricted solely to the group of companies in the sample. Practical implications: From the main contributions, it is possible to highlight, at a theoretical level, the joint approach to issues of sustainable innovation and performance, since there are few studies covering the impact of adopting innovation practices on company performance. At a practical level, understanding of how the behavior of Brazilian industrial companies contributes to the wide distribution of practices that may contribute to better business performance and generate competitive advantages. Social implications: At a social level, understanding of the benefits in adopting sustainable innovations practices favors the minimization of negative socio-environmental impacts. Originality/value: By analyzing the themes of sustainable innovation and industrial performance, the present study may contribute to adopting business behavior that strategically and systemically integrates the objectives of sustainable innovation.

This study sought to analyze the level of adopted climate change mitigation and adaptation practices and their relationship with the performance of Brazilian industrial companies. The data were collected through an e-survey in 40 Brazilian industrial companies linked to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and analyzed using univariate and multivariate statistical methods. Mitigation and adaptation practices were adopted as independent variables against climate change, while performance parameters (financial, innovative, production, market, and export performance) were included as the dependent variables. Our findings indicate that Brazilian industrial companies have been adopting both corporate practices of mitigation and adaptation to climate change and show that there are relationships between mitigation and adaptation practices and different dimensions of corporate performance. This study contributes to scientific advancement and developing a theoretical model that addresses, in an integrated manner, managing climate change adaptation and mitigation practices and corporate performance.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between climate change mitigation practices and the performance of Brazilian industrial companies. Theoretical framework: According to Felgenhauer and Webster (2013), mitigation is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Adopting sustainable practices in the context of climate change can influence its position in the market through business reputation and market legitimacy (Brammer & Pavelin, 2006). Method: This study is characterized as exploratory and descriptive with a qualitative and quantitative stage through an e-survey with 39 Brazilian companies in the industrial sector. The independent variables adopted were mitigation practices, and the dependent variables were financial, innovative, production, market, and export performance. Results and conclusion: Existing relationships between mitigation practices and different dimensions of business performance were identified, especially concerning innovation. There is also evidence that actions to control greenhouse gas emissions can lead to financial, image, and productivity gains. Implications of the study: Understanding the mitigation practices adopted by industrial companies contributes to disseminating these practices and can provide a basis for other companies. Moreover, understanding the relevance and benefits of adopting these practices favors mitigating social and environmental impacts on society. Originality/value: Developing a model integrating mitigation practices and business performance can be considered a theoretical contribution, since, in the literature, there are initiatives that treat the themes unilaterally. Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre as práticas de mitigação às mudanças climáticas e o desempenho das empresas industriais brasileiras. Referencial teórico: Conforme Felgenhauer e Webster (2013) a mitigação é uma redução de emissão dos gases de efeito estufa. A adoção de práticas sustentáveis no âmbito das mudanças climáticas pode influenciar sua posição no mercado, por meio da reputação empresarial e a legitimidade do mercado (BRAMMER & PAVELIN, 2006). Método: O estudo se caracteriza como exploratório e descritivo, possui uma etapa qualitativa e uma quantitativa por meio de um e-survey com 39 empresas brasileiras do setor industrial. Adotou-se como variáveis independentes as práticas de mitigação e como variáveis dependentes os desempenhos: financeiro, inovador, de produção, de mercado e exportador. Resultados e conclusão: Identificou-se relações existentes entre as práticas de mitigação e diferentes dimensões do desempenho empresarial, principalmente no que tange a inovação. Ainda há evidências de que ações para controlar emissões de gases de efeito estufa podem levar a ganhos financeiros, de imagem e de produtividade. Implicações da pesquisa: A compreensão das práticas de mitigação adotadas pelas indústrias contribui para a divulgação e a propagação das mesmas, podendo proporcionar uma base para as demais empresas. Além disso, o entendimento da relevância e dos benefícios da adoção dessas práticas favorece a atenuação dos impactos socioambientais para a sociedade. Originalidade/valor: O desenvolvimento de um modelo integrando práticas de mitigação e o desempenho empresarial pode ser considerado um aporte teórico, visto que na literatura são encontradas iniciativas que tratam as temáticas de forma unilateral.

A preocupação com a responsabilidade social está cada vez mais presente nas organizações e pode contemplar tanto questões internas como externas. A inclusão de pessoas com deficiência está relacionada com a política de responsabilidade social das empresas e se tornou além de uma questão social, consistindo em uma exigência legal. O presente estudo visa compreender e identificar a percepção dos colaboradores com deficiência em relação ao processo de inclusão em uma das maiores indústrias de cerâmica da América Latina. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como exploratória e adotou como método o estudo de caso. Os principais resultados revelaram que há uma boa percepção por parte dos colaboradores em relação ao processo de inclusão na empresa e foram destacados pontos favoráveis, tais como oportunidade e valorização. Por outro lado, ainda há algumas questões a serem melhoradas, principalmente em relação a infraestrutura e ao processo de inclusão. Contudo, mesmo sendo identificadas algumas dificuldades, os colaboradores se sentem satisfeitos em trabalhar na empresa.

Background: By 2050, most of the global human population will live in coastal regions, and the climatic impacts on these areas represent a significant concern for governments, private sector companies, and societies. Thus, environmental management of coastal regions plays a central role in the global climate agenda. Methods: The study employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR). This included the construction of networks of related topics, time series analysis, literature mapping, and the identification of research gaps. The databases used were Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus. The inclusion and exclusion criteria encompassed articles published between 2014 and 2023, off-topic articles, unavailable articles, or paid access articles. At the end, 96 studies were included in this RSL. Results: The results revealed a predominance of studies addressing climate management in coastal regions, primarily focused on adaptation strategies. However, there is a notable deficiency in studies that address integrated mitigation and adaptation strategies. Time series analysis predicted an increase in the focus on coastal management and climate change in the coming years. Conclusion: The research underscores the central role of coastal management in addressing climate change and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It encourages multi-level management, integrating government officials, business leaders, and civil society in the development of more effective practices for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
