Resumo: Amid the influences from the pressure identified in the present dynamics of the market, the enterprises are required to get a position, responding to what is being imposed or assumed as a proactive behavior. Under the context of sustainability, this type of behavior is being related to an environmental dimension, under the definition of environmental proactivity. However, there is not a clear approach for the social dimension, which denotes a gap for research, involving explicitly the environmental and social aspects of the actions taken by enterprises, called proactivity of sustainable practices. Furthermore, the idea of proactive behavior can be considered as favorable strategy to introduce sustainability in supply chains. In this sense, this study aims to propose a set of indicators of proactivity of sustainable practices that does not only consider the social dimension. Therefore, the study is characterized as a theoretical study. Hence, it is understood that to move away from a “limited” perspective to the field of environmental dimension, and driving the searchlight of proactivity towards a better alignment to sustainability (while also focusing on the social aspects), it is seen that, through the practices and changes in behavior, enterprises can contribute to a more sustainable development.

No contexto da sustentabilidade, este tipo de comportamento tem sido relacionado à dimensão ambiental, com o conceito de proatividade ambiental. Entretanto, não há uma abordagem clara para a dimensão social, verificando-se, assim, uma lacuna de pesquisa, envolvendo explicitamente aspectos ambientais e sociais nas ações adotadas por empresas, denominada proatividade de práticas sustentáveis. Ademais, a ideia de comportamento proativo pode ser considerada uma estratégia favorável à introdução da sustentabilidade em cadeias de suprimento. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem por objetivo propor um conjunto de indicadores de proatividade de práticas sustentáveis, que não considere apenas a dimensão ambiental, mas que agregue aspectos vinculados à dimensão social. Para tanto, o estudo caracteriza-se como estudo teórico. Assim, entende-se que sair de uma perspectiva “limitada” ao campo da dimensão ambiental e direcionar o holofote da proatividade para maior alinhamento com a sustentabilidade (ao focar também em aspectos sociais), demonstra que, através de práticas e mudanças em comportamentos, as empresas podem contribuir para um desenvolvimento mais sustentável.ABEC2017-08-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/62410.20985/1980-5160.2017.v12n2.624Sistemas & Gestão; v. 12 n. 2 (2017): JUNHO/2017; 146-571980-516010.20985/1980-5160.2017.v12n2reponame:Sistemas & Gestãoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporenghttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/624/632https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/624/631https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/624/657https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/624/658Alves, Ana Paula FerreiraSilva, Minelle Enéas dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-29T17:29:49Zoai:ojs.www.revistasg.uff.br:article/624Revistahttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sgPUBhttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/oai||sg.revista@gmail.com|| periodicos@proppi.uff.br1980-51601980-5160opendoar:2020-05-29T17:29:49Sistemas & Gestão - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
