Métodos - Considerando que as Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PMEs) representam mais de 60% da economia do estado do Rio de Janeiro, um estudo de caso múltiplo foi realizado e as respostas de um grupo de PMEs trabalhando no estado foram analisadas em relação à sua experiência e conhecimento sobre o assunto. Resultados e discussão - A maioria das empresas investigadas atua sobre o meio ambiente apenas com ações paliativas que não eliminam a causa ou evitam problemas ambientais, apenas cumprem minimamente a legislação. Conclusões Com esta pesquisa concluiu-se que há uma grande necessidade de divulgar os conceitos de gestão ambiental e suas ferramentas, assim como o tema da LCA entre as indústrias, especialmente as PMEs, para que tenham informações suficientes para avaliar como podem inserir a LCA como uma ferramenta de estratégia competitiva para que seus produtos sejam reconhecidos como sustentáveis, tanto no mercado interno como no exterior.ABEC2020-12-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/168410.20985/1980-5160.2020.v15n3.1684Sistemas & Gestão; v. 15 n. 3 (2020): DEZEMBRO 2020; 301-3131980-516010.20985/1980-5160.2020.v15n3reponame:Sistemas & Gestãoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporenghttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1684/1354https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1684/1355https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1684/1356https://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/article/view/1684/1357Copyright (c) 2020 Sistemas & Gestãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Oliveira Diniz, GracieleFermam, Ricardo Kropf SantosMascarenhas da Silva Sampaio, Cristiane2020-12-21T17:35:08Zoai:ojs.www.revistasg.uff.br:article/1684Revistahttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sgPUBhttps://www.revistasg.uff.br/sg/oai||sg.revista@gmail.com|| periodicos@proppi.uff.br1980-51601980-5160opendoar:2020-12-21T17:35:08Sistemas & Gestão - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
