The crisis caused by the pandemic of Covid-19 in Brazil affected private and state organizations, generating relevant impacts on employability and economic and social sustainability. Even in a pandemic situation, organizations providing services considered essential remained open, and many of them had no viable alternatives to replace presential work. The study presented here investigated the impacts that the coronavirus crisis generated in the human dimensions within these organizations, specifically in relation to emotions and emotional ambivalence. Through a basic qualitative study and with the help of the content analysis method, it was evidenced that even though ambivalence exists in the daily context of pharmaceutical workers, characterized as an essential service during the pandemic, there were times when negative feelings were more prevalent than positive ones. However, the negative emotions were balanced by the existence of positive perceptions about the management of the organization, highlighting the importance of empathy between leaders and subordinates and the effective adoption of safety measures recommended by the competent agencies. The study reveals a section of this pandemic context, its emotional effect on the population and the consequent reflexes on organizations, a small sample of the revealing potential that future research can offer to academics and managers in this field.

This study aims to identify the differences between green marketing initiatives and greenwashing, as well as their implications for companies' social and environmental development practices. It relies on data from Banco do Brasil S.A. and Natura & Co. A qualitative, descriptive and multiple case study was employed, involving an analysis of documents such as annual reports and other publicly available information on the companies' websites. The documentary analysis was guided by the checklist developed from the theoretical review. The research findings indicate that both organisations analysed adhere to ethical principles when communicating their sustainability efforts in environmental and social dimensions, thus aligning with the green marketing model advocated in scientific literature and distancing them from the representation of greenwashing. Banco do Brasil and Natura & Co., as evidenced in reports available on their websites, demonstrate genuine actions and support projects in both social and environmental domains. Communication with the market and stakeholders includes verifiable details, sources, and documents, establishing credibility and affirming that the reported actions were indeed implemented. Consequently, it is possible to infer that the practices observed align with green marketing rather than greenwashing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Covid-19 pandemic imposed a radical change in daily practices. Some of these new practices attracted attention for reducing the environmental impact of human activity, and many theorists saw this as an opportunity to build "new normalities" that are more just and sustainable. Contemporary societies have the capacity to make radical changes in practices, when the efforts and resources are orchestrated in that direction. However, three years after the start of the pandemic we see a gradual return to normality. This article indicates how social practice theories can help us understand the stability of social practices on unsustainable trajectories and their possibilities for transformation towards sustainability.

This article discusses the relationship between the rubber tappers of the Amazon and the protection of the forests in the face of threats to the environment. Highlights the historical aspects of the category, from the labor exploitation processes in the rubber cycles to the forms of resistance of the Council of Extractive Populations located in the Médio Juruá River, Carauari/AM. The information was based on a bibliographic review and on the narratives of the people from this territory collected through the oral history technique. The analyses were based on Henri Lefebvre's conception about the production of space. Despite the economic boom, the rubber cycles were marked by the exploitation of the labor of rubber tappers and their families. The National Council of Extractive Populations (CNS) emerges as a form of resistance to this problem. Its role is to guarantee access to social rights for forest peoples, accompanying the actions of the State. These individuals acted locally for the consolidation of protected areas, ensuring improved quality of life and income generation. Thus, solidifying a socioenvironmental governance for the promotion of sustainability and socioenvironmental justice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present article assesses modeling methodology, as a communicative tool to systematically work on the perception of family farmers about the ecological and productive potentialities and weaknesses of their agroecosystems, based on the analysis of production systems with an agroecological and conventional basis developed in mountain environments It starts with a general characterization of the local environmental and productive context, and then, based on a participatory survey with farming families, establish the modeling of four agroecosystems, with two in Brazil and two in Argentina. Modeling made it possible to analyze the socio-productive context of farming families in montane environments in both countries, from the economic and ecological flows in their agroecosystems, identifying opportunities and restrictions, in their production units, for the insertion of agroecological practices associated with strategies of economic reproduction, historically constructed in the local sociocultural context, having as a base the analysis of the relationship between the determining variables for the adopted strategical decisions. The agroecosystems analysis methodology represents an important instrument for dialogues, researches, and actions for the sustainable rural development of mountain regions, and contributes with subsidies for public policies, as well as the elaboration and implementation of social and environmental projects with a focus on family farming and agroecology.

Objective: the purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of information transparency on the selection of a socially responsible partner, taking into account the role played by signal send by the location of the partner and stakeholder pressure. Theoretical approach: this study is based on the premise that information transparency is a central element in the buyer-supply relationship and can play a key role in the selection of a socially responsible partner. The location of a partner can also affect the feeling of transparency if the country where the partner is located is not recognized for its reputation. The stakeholder pressure for socially responsible practices can also affect the decision to choose a business partner. Methods: we employed a 2 x 2 full-factorial between-subjects, scenario-based role-playing experiment. In Study 1, we simulated a situation in which the buyer is asked about their likelihood of selecting a socially responsible supplier, while in Study 2 we simulated a situation in which the socially responsible supplier is asked about the likelihood of selling products to a buyer. Results: the results indicate that information transparency affects the decision to select socially responsible partners. Stakeholder pressure partially moderates this relationship, while location does not moderate this relationship in either study. Conclusion: we conclude that information transparency throughout the supply chain is a relevant factor in negotiations within a socially responsible context. Information transparency is a key aspect for both the buyer and the supplier when selecting a socially responsible partner.

This article presents an implementation assessment model for sustainable public procurement policy and the results of two subsystems (context and operational and learning capacity). Sustainable public procurement signals to the market and society good practices for the acquisition of goods and services that integrate environmental, social and economic variables, aiming at sustainable development and the collective good. Bibliographic, documentary, survey research and ex-post evaluation were used. It was found that, in the context assessment there is a favorable environment, with agents who know the meaning of the content of the policy and level of education and adequate legitimacy. Operational and learning capacity has a greater number of pending issues to be resolved, as administrative capacity still has a lot to grow, justified by the absence of clear information on internal policies, with limitations between institutional planning and the policy execution phase, until it becomes routine.

The objective of this article is to explore the concept of social impact, from the meaning attributed to the term, the fields in which it is used, as well as the existing methodologies for its calculation. In this way, and taking into account the existing professional and academic work, the aim is to establish a theoretical base as a frame of reference that allows the future development of a methodology for evaluating social impact. In this way and in relation to the term, a contextualization of the meaning itself is carried out to determine what is used. Likewise, the best-known methodologies that are considered, highlighting the differences between them and identifying possible shortcomings and the stages that may be improved. Given the growing importance of the impact assessment processes applied in economic, social and environmental terms, and at the same time taking into account what it was observed in this work, the existing methodologies have a lack of standardized model that offers quantitatively homogeneous results that allow comparison between entities, companies or projects.

The right to development is foreseen in several international diplomas and in the Federal Constitution of 1988, being considered a human right belonging to the third generation of human rights, concerned with future generations, framing the right to solidarity. Together with the idea of development, sustainability must be added, seeking to reconcile the economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects to satisfy the current generation, however, without compromising the enjoyment for future generations. The right to sustainable development, therefore, is an instrument to provide a better quality of life for all people, and the State should seek it, as it is one of the objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil, through planning. Economic development, when seeking social justice, refers to the theory of justice proposed by Jonh Rawls in which a well-organized society satisfies the principles of justice when they are collectively rational from the perspective of the original position, under the veil of ignorance. For the purposes of the investigation, deduction and critical analysis are adopted, followed by foreign and national bibliographic research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT: The social dimension of sustainability is becoming very relevant on the consumer purchasing decision, especially in the food sector. This research analyzed the willingness to pay (WTP) of Chilean consumers for cheese with a social sustainability attribute using a double-bounded dichotomous choice format. Results showed that the WTP for a price premium depends on three variables: age, income and previous knowledge regarding social sustainability. The mean WTP is 7.5% over the average price of cheese; although, combining relevant variables and changing values over their range shows that firms can obtain up to a 12.9% price premium if they focus on younger and high income consumers that have a previous good knowledge about social sustainability practices. Additionally, this study presented a novel market oriented methodological approach for identifying and quantifying specific niche markets based on the WTP.

This study aims to carry out a critical analysis of the pension reform proposal approved by the Brazilian congress. It begins with the study of the Chilean Social Security financing model, in the midst of the historical, political, social and economic context in which it was structured, with a view to taking it as a reference to the existing proposals in Brazil today. The approach focuses on the financing system based on individual capitalization adopted in that country, and on the results obtained with privatization, both with regard to the aspect of economic and financial sustainability, as well as with regard to the impacts on individual guarantees and social rights. As for the Brazilian financing system, we proceed with the analysis of the social security distribution model, of the structural constitutional principles of that system and of the reforms that occurred throughout the democratic period, after comparing both regimes based on the demographic reality, always in perspective critical. Finally, the pension reform proposal approved by the Brazilian congress will be analyzed, in particular its premise, which is the supposed deficit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study seeks to identify how a set of indicators for assessing economic, social and ecological sustainability can assist in the sustainable performance of a rural organization, located in the Northwest region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. For this purpose, dimensions and constructs of Martins and Cândido (2008) and Oliveira (2007) for the elaboration of indicators for the analysis of the economic, social and ecological dimensions in the sustainable performance of the consumption, trade and general activities of the analyzed rural organization. The work method was a descriptive research, being a case study based on quantitative data collected through documentary research, observation and survey with the organization's owner. The results indicate which dimension contributed most to the General Sustainability Index, was the economic one (0.83), since the analyzed rural property presents, based on the results obtained, good economic and financial controls. The social dimensions (0.32) and the ecological dimensions (0.53), contributed to a lesser extent, since the ecological issues the organization is unsustainable and the social dimension was verified the intermediate sustainability, which refers to an imminent need of concern with these two dimensions mainly aiming at the balance of the three dimensions, economic, ecological and social. However, as it turns out, even so, the organization showed itself with intermediate sustainability in the general index (0.51), considering the interval 0.5

This paper presents a discussion about the current model of agricultural development of cultivated lands in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. We discuss the causes of environmental transformations and the means of production that generate various implications on indigenous peoples, family farmers, and already fragile biomes, as well as the issue of human health and food safety. Finally, the article presents a proposal, based on ecologically correct alternatives, towards the construction of environmental sustainability and social welfare of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

With the institution of the National Program to Strengthen Family Agriculture in 1995, financial resources for family agriculture had a previously non-existent access channel. Among the subprograms of Pronaf is the line focused on agroecology, instituted from the 2003/2004 harvest, which has low access. In this context, the article presented here results from a research that seeks to analyze limits and potentialities in the access of family farmers to the Pronaf Agroecology line in the Cantuquiriguaçu / PR Citizenship Territory. Exploratory descriptive instruments were used, through a case study collecting data with family farmers and agents of financial institutions, seeking to compare and compare the answers about the lack of access to the subprogram in the region. The results indicate that the family farmers interviewed have an interest in accessing the resources, but due to lack of knowledge, difficulties regarding the requirements, fears about indebtedness and interest rates, this does not happen. In the case of financial institutions what has been observed is that the line is not attractive in financial terms to be made available. Consequently, there is no clear understanding of how it works and there is a need for technical assistance to be more effective in instructing, guiding and assisting family farmers to submit viable projects to financial institutions. Overcoming these limits can be a means of harnessing the potential of agroecological production, so important and necessary for social, environmental and economic sustainability.

The idea of development gains strength throughout the 20th century, the recurrent distinction between growth and economic development on the historical plane makes sense from the intertwining between the increase in production and per capita income and, at the same time, profound changes in society. The development theme, with a focus beyond economic growth, relating aspects of quality of life, environmental sustainability, and social and cultural equity, has been gaining prominence in discussions in the area of social sciences. The search for democratically qualified societies, acting inseparably from the collective's exclusive interests, signals the need to develop cooperation networks, based on mutual trust and collaboration. It is worth noting the existence of regional councils in order to exercise social control, but also the representative articulation and regional development. Universities, especially public ones, also have a social commitment to regional development; by the way, universities are vectors that induce regional development, connecting with the world while taking root regionally, with effects on the production and consumption of the economy, which have a multiplying effect on spatial structures, especially in cities where are located. In this sense, the study on screen aimed to carry out a survey of publications about the participation of universities in the regional development process, from 2008 to 2016, to analyze in which optics the university contribution to regional development has been studied. For that, we used the bibliometric analysis, performed from the data collection on Scopus and Redalyc platforms. The results show that, although the topic has gained some evidence in the last five years, there is still a lack of research that deeply discusses the relationship between universities and regional development.

When considering the general parameters that supports the sustainability of agroecosystems, it is noticed that there are many dimensions that need attention in their regarding its emerging maintenance, mainly economic, social and environmental dimensions. Approaching the current reality of family farmers, we see that their social sustainability is fragile and for this, we must seek new methodologies and strategies, that carry out a more detailed survey of the main critical points and also the from these to seek those indicators that can serve as forces and opportunities, solving the threats and weaknesses of the sustainability of agroecosystems. Face of it, this researching had as principal objective evaluate the sustainability of carnies agroecossistems from Pato Branco - PR municipality over the time. For that, three methodologies were used, the main one being the MESMIS methodology that uses sustainability indicators to perform the evaluation over time in agroecosystems supported by the network analysis and the SWOT matrix. A total of 112 indicators were analyzed within the social, environmental and economic dimensions, after the analysis it was verified that agroecosystems have good levels of economic sustainability, however, some points within social and environmental sustainability are still fragile. And in order for these to be strengthened, a network must be established involving all farmers, together with the local institutions, helping to solve the critical points, and for this, the importance of creating associations that of the common good and help in the sustainability of these agroecosystems.
