Purpose: This study evaluates empirical evidence on the perceptions of employees on the positive and negative impacts of Forest Stewarship Council (FSC) certification on Brazilian companies. Methodology: A survey was developed, and data from 149 employees of certified companies was collected. A scale of positive and negative impacts based on the literature was developed. The Jonckheere-Terpstra test was used to compare the statistical differences between the attributes under analysis. An exploratory factor analysis was also developed with a quantitative approach. Results: The most positive perceptions are related to the protection of the forest and society. Regarding the negative aspects, the misinformation about the certifications and the cost to carry out the certification were highlighted. Originality: The existing literature about FSC certification focuses on company managers and/or external stakeholders. A study on the perspective of employees from certified companies is important to ensure the well-being of employees, promote sustainability and corporate social responsibility, identify areas for improvement, and strengthen the company’s reputation and credibility in the market.

Minas Gerais is the largest strawberry producer in Brazil. The adoption of the certification of integrated strawberry production (PIMo) would result in the commercialization of safe and quality products. The objective of this work was to implement and analyze the compliance level of the family farmers of Cooperativa Agropecuária de Alfredo Vasconcelos - MG (COOPRAV) to PIMo, aiming at certification and obtaining the quality seal. A project "Integrated Strawberry Production: Towards Certification" was prepared with the objective of adapting the farm and process to the Specific Technical Standards for Integrated Strawberry Production. The project followed three procedures: 1) workshops including theoretical and practical training; 2) monthly technical attendance; 3) participatory audits. During the workshops, there was a great demand for knowledge related to pest and diseases management and pesticide application technology. In the technical attendance, it was possible to adapt the structures of the property to the standards of the PIMo, as well as proposing the use of the field book and good agricultural practices that allowed gains in productivity. During the participatory audits, ten non-conformities were identified, which were adequate to meet the standards. Six properties were considered suitable for use the PIMo seal and the cooperative reached a production potential of 121,700 kg of certified strawberries, with a reduction of 80% in the use of fungicides, 70% in the use of insecticides and substantial gains related to the organization properties with to the places for storing pesticides and strawberry packaging.

Objetivo: O objetivo do trabalho é identificar como os profissionais de ponto de venda se informam sobre o certificado de eficiência energética. Especificamente, verificar como estes profissionais transmitem a informação sobre o certificado no momento de venda. Método: O procedimento metodológico contou com uma pesquisa qualitativa com 35 vendedores de lojas de varejo das regiões de Praia Grande, São Paulo e Guarulhos. Como técnica de análise foi aplicada a Análise de Conteúdo, articulando as transcrições realizadas com base em um roteiro de pesquisa, como instrumento de coleta. Resultados: Os resultados demonstram que os vendedores reconhecem diferentes certificados no mercado, entretanto não possuem aprofundamento sobre suas especificações técnicas. Os vendedores têm conhecimento que existem diferentes selos e suas possíveis funções, como declarar que um produto degradado ou não o ambiente, utiliza insumos sustentáveis, é mais eficiente energeticamente ou gasta muita água. Conclusão: O trabalho demonstra que a atitude consumerista a partir da instrução dos certificados de eficiência energética podem corroborar com o atendimento dos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável, com destaque para o objetivo 7 de acesso à energia limpa e renovável, promovendo eficiência e estimulando cadeias de produção, assegurando um consumo de menor impacto ambiental e desestimulando a utilização de produtos que necessitam de mais energia.

The objective of this study is to understand the role of associations in the dynamics of the coffee sector by analyzing the role of the Federation of Coffee Growers of the Cerrado (FCC) in coordinating the agro-industrial system of coffee with a focus on the seal of designation of origin. This organization presented characteristics of an Interface Agent, mainly through representation actions with government agencies and international entities. Subsequently, the FCC expanded its actions and became a Trusted Agent through actions to promote the region's coffee region. In addition, FCC also expanded its actions and became a Coordinating Agent through actions to control the quality of production delimited by the origin of the Cerrado coffee region.

Objective. To compare and contrast the characteristics of the accreditation process for health care facilities in Canada, Chile, the Autonomous Community of Andalusia (Spain), Denmark, and Mexico, in order to identify shared characteristics, differences, and lessons learned that may be useful for other countries and regions. Methods. An observational, analytical, retrospective study using open-access secondary sources on the accreditation and certification of health care facilities in 2019--2021 in these countries and regions. The general characteristics of the accreditation processes are described and comments are made on key aspects of the design of these programs. Additionally, analytical categories were created for degree of implementation and level of complexity, and the positive and negative results reported are summarized. Results. The operational components of the accreditation processes are country-specific, although they share similarities. The Canadian program is the only one that involves some form of responsive evaluation. There is a wide range in the percentage of establishments accredited from country to country (from 1% in Mexico to 34.7% in Denmark). Notable lessons learned include the complexity of application in a mixed public-private system (Chile), the risk of excessive bureaucratization (Denmark), and the need for clear incentives (Mexico). Conclusions. The accreditation programs operate in a unique way in each country and region, achieve varying degrees of implementation, and have an assortment of problems, from which lessons can be learned. Elements that hinder their implementation should be considered and adjustments made for the health systems of each country and region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The objective of this work is to identify how point of sale professionals get information about the certificate. Specifically, check how these professionals convey information about the certificate at the time of sale. Method: The methodological procedure involved a qualitative research with 35 sellers from retail stores in the regions of Praia Grande, São Paulo and Guarulhos. As an analysis technique, Content Analysis was applied, articulating the transcripts made based on a research script, as a collection instrument. Results: The results demonstrate that sellers recognize different certificates in the market, however, they do not have in-depth knowledge of their technical specifications. Sellers are aware that there are different seals and their possible functions, such as declaring that a product is environmentally degraded or not, uses sustainable inputs, is more energy efficient or uses a lot of water. Conclusion: The work demonstrates that the consumerist attitude from the instruction of energy efficiency certificates can corroborate with the fulfillment of sustainable development objectives, with emphasis on objective 7 of access to clean and renewable energy, promoting efficiency and stimulating production chains, ensuring consumption with a lower environmental impact and discouraging the use of products that require more energy.

Essa pesquisa analisou quais são as motivações e dificuldades para a adoção de práticas sustentáveis nas cadeias de suprimentos de pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) do setor do caju. Para tanto, a literatura apresenta os principais conceitos de práticas sustentáveis, motivações e dificuldades para adoção de práticas no contexto de PMEs. A metodológica utilizada foi o estudo de caso múltiplo. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são formados por duas empresas que trabalham com o beneficiamento da amêndoa do caju e da polpa do caju. A pesquisa teve como base a técnica análise de conteúdo de acordo com Bardin (2016). Diante dos resultados tanto do Caso 1 e Caso 2, evidenciam-se que as práticas de sustentabilidade do Caso 1 estão voltadas para a exigência de certificação de orgânicos com seus fornecedores. Já o Caso 2 tem suas práticas de sustentabilidade advindas das boas práticas do campo, falta um melhor entendimento do que é sustentabilidade.

Esta investigação teórica apresenta a abordagem dialógica de competência e seus princípios e métodos para a construção de perfis profissionais. De modo distinto às concepções que focalizam elementos isolados da competência, a abordagem dialógica está baseada em referencial integrador e propõe áreas de competência que caracterizam núcleo e campo no exercício profissional. Essa abordagem reconhece a existência de diferentes visões sobre competência profissional que devem ser analisadas e dialogadas. O perfil competente, construído como metapontos de vista, traduz combinações contextualizadas de conhecimentos, habilidades, atitudes e valores, que expressam excelência na atuação profissional, com vistas à formação, à certificação e à Educação Permanente de profissionais de saúde. O texto analisa a coerência entre as práticas assim sistematizadas e a elaboração de atividades profissionais confiáveis.

Este artigo objetiva investigar a cooperativa D’Irituia no que diz respeito ao seu processo de produção e contexto socioeconômico. Para realizar a coleta de dados, 29 entrevistas foram validadas em uma amostra de 90,63%. Os questionários foram aplicados nos meses de janeiro, fevereiro e março de 2019. Dentre as principais atividades produtivas desenvolvidas pelos cooperados, destacou-se a produção de produtos florestais não madeireiros. O sistema de produção desenvolvido está baseado em sistemas agroflorestais com predominância de espécies frutíferas. A boa participação das mulheres no quadro social é decisiva para o desenvolvimento da cooperativa, porém, a força de trabalho encontra-se diminuída. É imprescindível buscar certificação orgânica. Existe ainda, a necessidade de fortalecer cada vez mais a marca D’Irituia. Nesse sentido, é fundamental o apoio governamental para projetar os produtos da cooperativa, pois a não diferenciação das embalagens dificulta uma identidade visual que represente a cooperativa.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the evolution of the physical and physiological quality of rice seeds throughout the processing process, analyzing the efficiency of the equipment used in three Seed Processing Units (UBS) to produce certified seeds, located in the region of the inner coastal plain of Lagoa dos Patos. We know that the seed has to be made in the field, starting with the choice of the area, providing a good management and controlling invaders, pests and diseases, but we believe that UBS has a very important role in seed quality, and this is the purpose of this study. Each unit with its equipment on its production line was analyzed. The cultivar IRGA 424 RI was used in the three units, samples were taken at the exit of each equipment, tests for seedling emergence, germination, physical purity and determination of other contaminating species were carried out. A gradual increase in purity and germination was observed along the processing line in the three UBS's, except for the determination of weedy rice, where equipment was not efficient.

Projetos alternativos ao sistema convencional de produção têm emergido nos últimos anos. Dentre esses, destaca-se a produção orgânica. No Brasil, é formalizada a comercialização de produtos orgânicos sem certificação ou com certificações. Diante disso, este trabalho analisa a evolução da certificação para produtos orgânicos no Brasil e discute a aderência de cada uma delas junto aos produtores e suas motivações. O material apresenta dados coletados no Cadastro Nacional dos Produtores Orgânicos. Os dados apontam que a certificação individual predomina em decorrência da possibilidade de acesso ao mercado externo e das dificuldades de organização dos produtores.

A escassa literatura disponível sobre avaliação do ciclo de vida de edificações (ACVed) aponta a necessidade de reduzir os fluxos considerados. As regras de corte auxiliam a viabilizar a modelagem, mas o efeito de variações na sua aplicação é inexplorado na literatura. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a influência da aplicação das duas principais abordagens de corte de inventário utilizadas em ACVed - por massa e energia, indicada pela norma EN 15804, e por subsistema construtivo, como adotado pela certificação LEED v4 - relativamente ao inventário mais completo possível (“best-of-knowledge”). Impactos do berço ao túmulo foram calculados para dois casos. A plataforma SimaPro v8.5/9.0 apoiou a composição dos processos e adaptações da base Ecoinvent. Foram utilizados os métodos CML-IA baseline e CED para avaliação de impacto, e clusterização k-means para prospecção de relações entre categorias ambientais. Enquanto a regra de corte europeia retém uma parcela considerável dos impactos em todas as categorias, os subsistemas excluídos pelo LEED afetam principalmente categorias não avaliadas, mas em que a produção de materiais de construção tem efeito relevante, como ecotoxicidades, toxicidade humana e depleção abiótica. Adicionalmente, a livre escolha de três categorias ambientais propicia redundância de informação, caso elas façam parte de um mesmo cluster. Para equilibrar a viabilidade da ACVed, enquanto se assegura a integridade das conclusões, recomendamos que a certificação adicione subsistemas na avaliação até que mais de 75% dos metais sejam computados, e amplie estrategicamente o conjunto de categorias avaliadas mandatoriamente. Estudos adicionais são agora necessários para confirmar estas proposições.

Resumo: Este artigo analisa os fatores de diferenciação institucional nos processos de certificação participativa de produtos orgânicos. Realizada junto aos Organismos Participativos de Avaliação da Conformidade (OPAC) que operam no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, a pesquisa visava inicialmente responder se eles estariam convergindo para formatos organizacionais e estratégias similares. A hipótese inicial sugeria o isomorfismo desses organismos em virtude de pressões institucionais coercitivas, normativas e miméticas. No entanto, devido à rejeição da hipótese inicial, buscou-se, então, identificar os fatores que produzem diferenciação institucional. Foram examinados instrumentos normativos que regulam a certificação orgânica, os documentos internos de gestão dos OPACs, transcrições de entrevistas individuais e coletivas com stakeholders e anotações de observações das reuniões e procedimentos de certificação. Os resultados demonstram processos de dissociação (decoupling) impulsionados por três fatores principais: ambiguidade e heterogeneidade do ambiente institucional, resistência dos atores às pressões isomórficas e dinâmicas internas de poder relacionadas com o formato de participação social em cada OPAC.

As empresas contábeis, por atuarem num ambiente corporativo altamente disputado, devem gerar informações de qualidade, com a melhoria na execução de suas tarefas, uma equipe treinada e mecanismos que garantam a satisfação do cliente. Esta pesquisa buscou identificar quais foram as principais consequências percebidas pelas empresas contábeis após a obtenção da certificação de qualidade. Os principais beneficiários deste trabalho são todas as empresas contábeis, que irão descobrir as vantagens da obtenção da certificação de qualidade e a importância do trabalho do Programa de Qualidade de Empresas Contábeis (PQEC), desenvolvido pelo SESCON-SP e pelos sindicatos das empresas contábeis dos estados do Brasil que possuem programa de certificação, em virtude do comprometimento com a ética e a qualidade dos serviços prestados por seus associados. É uma investigação de caráter exploratório, quantitativo e descritivo, suportada por pesquisa bibliográfica. Para a coleta de dados foi usado o método de pesquisa survey, com o encaminhamento de um questionário para as empresas contábeis que obtiveram, em 2014 e 2015, certificação PQEC e PQEC + ISO. Foram gerados 50 questionários válidos e os dados obtidos foram analisados mediante o uso da análise fatorial. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmaram o agrupamento de seis fatores, apresentados com base na revisão da literatura: Internos I, Internos II, Externos, Oportunidade de Serviços e Negócios, Processos e Melhorias, e Percepção pelo Cliente.

For this research, it was generally aimed at mapping the organic farmers in the geographical space corresponding to the region of Nova Alta Paulista. As a specific objective, it was pointed out: To verify the perception of the farmer who seeks or already has the organic certification, as regards the cost-benefit ratio of the official seal of the Brazilian Organic Conformity Assessment System; Investigate with the rural producers if there is in the region official Technical Assistance and Rural Extension service that foments or collaborates in obtaining the seal and in the transition from the conventional production system to the organic one; To analyze the knowledge of the producers regarding the understanding of sustainability. This research adopted a scientific trajectory of qualitative approach, anchored in a descriptive and exploratory study. Data collection was done through a questionnaire, applied to rural producers who use organic and agroecological production systems. As a result, six producers were identified, who are sensitized about the concepts of sustainability, three of which are certified according to Law 10,831, dated December 23, 2003, regarding an efficient government service and rural extension service, the data indicated that there is little official commitment to promoting organic agriculture in the region of Nova Alta Paulista.

Given the expanding global niche of sustainable consumption, and the importance of environmental marketing being able to convey to sustainable consumers the image of a company committed to sustainability as well as that its products are sustainable, for success in this market, various promotion strategies can be adopted for this purpose. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the adopted environmental marketing strategies, and the perception of entrepreneurs regarding consumer behavior in relation to these strategies, in the city of Natal- RN. The study was based on a qualitative approach, with convenience and nonprobabilistic sampling through which management professionals participated in indepth interviews, who were chosen because they are associated with working with certified products and environmental marketing strategies in their respective activities in the municipality of Natal, RN. Regarding the results and conclusions, the interviews showed that among the main environmental marketing strategies adopted by the companies represented or assisted by the interviewees, the most used is actually the environmental certification, or the adoption of green seals. Regarding the perception of the interviewed entrepreneurs, managers and consultants, regarding consumers' behavior in relation to the environmental certification strategy, according to them, even though it is important to communicate the origin of the company's products and actions, in the sense of sustainability, according to their view, consumers still do not perceive certification as a relevant differential to influence their purchase decision, because they do not have an adequate understanding of the importance of such seal.
