Uma análise sobre as medidas para intensificar a sustentabilidade na indústria química brasileira

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis aimed to create a measure to transform the strategies that involve sustainability in the chemical industry into reality. When raising points of improvement and causes for the low attendance of this industry to the result of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), it was evidenced that there is a dysfunction in the companies' tactical organizational level. The tactical level is responsible for deploying the strategic guidelines and the dysfunction implies in not letting those guidelines reach the operational level. Thus, results linked to sustainability are jeopardized, as it is at the tactical level that they are generated. Therefore, the Management by Guidelines methodology was used, which was adapted in five steps to deploy an SDG from the CEO to the shop floor, making it clear what each employee must do to generate results improving the sustainability level. The first step is to establish the annual target. Then it is discussed how to prioritize an SDG and establish a global goal with an objective, value and deadline. From this comes the second step, which is to establish a measure to reach the goal. When coupling this measure to the goal, there is a guideline, which in the third step is oriented as to deploy to lower hierarchical levels. With the deployment of the guidelines comes the fourth step, in which action plans are created, highlighting their importance, since they are the translation of the global goal related to the SDG for the responsibility of a specific employee. And, finally, in the fifth step, it is discussed the creation of a governance capable of monitoring the execution of the action plans created in the previous step and dealing with deviations from the goal. With this, there is an adequate methodology so that the chemical industries, and other companies in general, can change the direction of Brazil in relation to the achievement of the SDGs.
