The Contribution of the Process of Materiality to the Evolution of the Field of Sustainability Performance Measurement
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study is to validate the cycle of sustainability performance measurement in the context of materiality. The study examines whether materiality contributes to the progress of the area through the framework proposed by Andy Neely. To do so, the paper explores the five questions that could guide future field research. One of the limitations is that the topic addressed was explored from the viewpoint of the performance measurement GRI, more specifically in its latest G4 version. The guideline perceives materiality as the key element for sustainable reporting, so the principle should be studied to see how important it is to industries. Results show that materiality contributes to the maturity of the topic by providing the necessary support for the theory introduced by Neely, more specifically the framework of the article “The evolution of performance measurement research: Developments in the last decade and a research agenda for the next”. Consequently, Neely’s future agenda was debated with the concepts of materiality applied in the practical environment of business. This document meets the identified need to explore the materiality tool, since the field needs future research due to little literature found.

A Materialidade como Competência de Transformação Organizacional na Perspectiva de Sustentabilidade
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- O objetivo desta pesquisa é verificar se a materialidade pode ser uma considerada uma competência de transformação organizacional na concepção sustentável. Uma intenção secundária é listar e ranquear outras possíveis competências que possibilitem alterar o cenário corporativo por meio das premissas do Triple Bottom Line. A abordagem empregada para resolver esta lacuna é o estudo Delphi. O método é responsável pela extração de um consenso entre especialistas no assunto. Para a ordenação das competências, uma ferramenta do Qualtrics e o Método Mudge foram selecionados. Este último tem como objetivo minimizar fatores subjetivos que estão inerentes ao cotidiano do ser humano, proporcionando uma tomada de decisão mais eficaz. Como um dos principais achados, esta pesquisa retornou 9 competências necessárias para realizar transformação organizacional na vertente citada. Além disso, confirmou que a materialidade pode ser considerada uma destas competências, e que ela pode contribuir para a seleção e, consequentemente, ajudar as empresas a alcançarem os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. A limitação deste trabalho está na ausência de orientações detalhes de como implementar tais competências no cotidiano organizacional. Como originalidade, este paper destaca-se ao ser o primeiro ao abordar as competências necessárias para transformação com os pilares sustentáveis e também ao dar aplicabilidade ao conceito recém-desenvolvido de materialidade.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organizations are influenced by external demands which can be represented by changes on the markets organizations are part of. Companies are operating on a new context, where the importance of sustainability has been highlighted by events such as environmental problems, social responsibility issues and quality assurance of products and services. Those aspects are represented by the areas of the Triple Bottom-Line (3BL), which treat organizations operational performance on economic, environmental and social aspects. However, organizations are still trying to develop new performance measurement systems, which relate to the 3BL and that can be used for sustainable performance assessment and benchmarking. In order to address this need, this research aims to develop a process that enables standards and guidelines to be used as tools for the establishment of a performance measurement system which can address the needs of integrated management on behalf of sustainability aspects. The method used on the development of this article is based on concepts of the Process Approach methodology from Cambridge University, as well as Business Process Management Notation to represent processes for performance assessment. Those processes were built with a high emphasis on Performance Assessment frameworks and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) theories. The processes generated have been applied in a project of innovation in sustainable management, in which its application enabled to work with requirements from various standards and guidelines in a practical context, through the usage of indicators and performance measurement. Exemplifying the application of this process, the article will aim to clarify the usage of indicators based on standards and guidelines as a tool for sustainability assessment, through an integrated management of an organization set of standards and guidelines.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the field of content analysis, there are several methods that aim to compare texts and analyze them to determine whether they are equivalent. Within the content analysis, we found techniques used to compare and correlate texts. Some of them are present in computational tools such as the Sphinx and Atlati. In General, these tools are closed solutions of difficult integration with other systems. In this context, it is not possible to set up an automated process including these tools. This difficulty became evident during operation activities of a sustainability indicators formulation model proposed by Machado et al. 2012. In this paper, the aim is to develop a content correlation methodology and make it operational in the form of an automated process of similar correlation texts and or equivalents. The research was driven by a methodological organization process. This process is the combination of methodological tools: action research, BPM Cycle-Business Process Management, Project Management and Process Approach. The correlation process developed by this research makes it possible to correlate texts that are grouped so that assignments are made that determine a degree of correlation between texts. It is known that with this model it is not possible to determine which texts are equivalent between themselves exactly, however, there is a qualifying list of correlation between the group texts.

- Business sustainability integration is a complex task and strongly linked to operations management. The challenge is to conduct more sustainable operations through companies? value chain and their network. In sustainable operations management area, maturity models have been developed for specific purposes. However, there is a lack of models that considers sustainability integration through the evolution of sustainable operations? capabilities. Based on literature review, case studies and expert panels, this paper develops and proposes a maturity framework defined by sustainable operations management theory. Its is possible to identify an evolutionary path, which goes from an initial approach focused in compliance aspects and firm?s value protection to an innovative approach, based on corporate social responsibility supporting operations? integration in a sustainable system, and long-term values development. The experts? panel identified key processes areas that need to be prioritized in each level, and also analyzed the adaptation of some elements from Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) to sustainable maturity framework design and development.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The concepts associated with sustainability have been gradually incorporated into business models in recent years. Particularly in the field of Operations Management (OM), the adoption of new performance indicators and the revision of operations strategy content and process frameworks are changing the way companies manage their operations regarding sustainability, creating the right conditions for new operations management model development. Such models were created in order to assess the impact and to characterize the progress of new initiatives in sustainability in the economic, environmental and social spheres (Triple Bottom Line-TBL). This paper, based on academic literature and professional models, proposes a framework for verifying the level of maturity of sustainable operations. Its distinguishing aspect contemplates the integrated approach over TBL along five proposed maturity levels, followed by descriptions of context, structure, processes, value chain and functional recommendations on implementation. The main objective of the Sustainable Operations Maturity Model (SOMM) is to be applied as a managerial tool to support organizations when evaluating the integration of sustainability into their strategies, and especially to provide guidelines for the evolution of sustainable operation processes.

- Business sustainability integration is a complex task and strongly linked to operations management. In fact, sustainability based approaches demand operations management boundaries' expansion, creation and integration of new performance goals into traditional company's performance management system, and new criteria and policies for operations' decision areas development. The challenge is to conduct more sustainable operations through companies' value chain and their operations network. Maturity models have been used in different areas as a process improvement and change management model for complex contexts. In sustainable operations management area, maturity models have been developed for specific purposes, e.g., sustainable production, sustainable supply chain management, corporate social responsibility, and life cycle management. However, there is a lack of models that considers sustainability integration through the evolution of sustainable operations' capabilities in an integrated way. Based on literature review and results from two panel studies conducted with academics and practitioners, this paper proposes a maturity framework for sustainability integration guided by sustainable operations capabilities evolution. The findings pointed out that its is possible to identify an evolutionary path, which goes from an initial approach focused in compliance aspects and firm's value protection to an innovative approach, based on corporate social responsibility supporting operations' integration in a sustainable system, and long-term values development. The experts' studies identified key processes that need to be prioritized in each level, and also evaluate the adaptation of some elements from Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) to sustainable maturity framework design. The framework represents company's vision regarding its value chain and operations network, and it is indicated for manufacturing companies.

- The trend of globalization stimulated discussions concerning sustainability, creating a new context and, as a consequence, a new strategic operations vision related to the production of goods and services. Companies start to manage their processes seeking not to compromise the needs and interests of their stakeholders, adopting best practices in corporate governance and continuously assessing the impact of their operations on society and the environment in general, as well as on quality of working life in particular. This article purpose is to develop a sustainability indicators formulation process that could be applied to companies’ value chain operations, observing corporate governance best practices and the 3BL model, and taking as references a group of standards and guidelines based on the construction of socially responsible organizations, in relation to sustainable development: ISO 26000, ISO 14000, OHSAS 18000, SA 8000, ISO 9001, Global Compact and others. The methodology adopted is Cambridge’s Process Approach, in which the requirements presented by standards and guidelines set performance strategic objectives that could be converted into concrete actions that will be managed, evaluated and measured through sustainability indicators. These indicators are structured by performance measurement systems theoretical models integration, the insertion and categorization of the requirements referring to standards at the operations value chain context, and the structure of decision areas that bounds operations strategy. The validation of the formulated sustainability indicators consists of aspects regarding its consistency, accuracy, updatability and justification, together with its characteristics related to feasibility, utility and usability. Based on process application in a sustainable management innovation project, its usefulness in clarifying the standards requirements was verified. Additionally, a better view of the existent relationships between different standards, correlation between indicators, for measurement optimization and management was identified, in complement to a more direct association with the operations value chain. Therefore, the operations management based on indicators creates conditions for the continuous evaluation of the operations strategy in a sustainable development context.
