Identificação de barreiras e oportunidades em esg na gestão sustentável da cadeia de suprimentos das organizações

Abstract

Sustainable development refers to a model of economic, social, and political progress that is in harmony with the environment. This implies the rational use of natural resources to meet the needs of present society without compromising their availability for future generations. In this context, several studies have emerged across different domains, including sustainable supply chain management. This study aims to Identify the ESG barriers and opportunities that affect the sustainable management of the supply chain. To achieve this objective, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify, categorize, and critically analyze the main barriers and opportunities related to ESG implementation in sustainable supply chain management. Based on this analysis, a framework was developed to organize these barriers and opportunities according to the stages of the supply chain, including raw material supply, production, logistics, distribution, retail, consumer, and postsales. The results indicate that the most recurrent barriers are associated with lack of top management commitment, limited financial resources, and absence of clear regulatory standards. On the other hand, the main opportunities lie in enhancing organizational image, facilitating access to sustainable markets and investments, and driving process innovation. The structured framework offers an integrated view of challenges and potentialities, serving as a strategic basis for decisionmaking in organizations seeking to efficiently adopt sustainable practices aligned with ESG principles.
