Os modelos atuais de consumo e produção têm contribuído para que a sociedade atribua cada vez mais importância ao Desenvolvimento Sustentável.
O aumento da consciencialização ambiental e social da sociedade tem-se manifestado num aumento de pressões para com as empresas para a implementação de soluções mais sustentáveis. A cadeia de abastecimento automóvel é caracterizada pelo elevado desenvolvimento industrial, que consequentemente tem levado a um aumento do consumo. Este facto, tem levando a um intenso debate acerca da crescente escassez de recursos e produção de resíduos, o que se torna cada vez mais uma ameaça não só à viabilidade das próprias organizações como também do planeta.
Deste modo, em contraponto ao modelo linear, emerge um novo modelo de negócio – “Economia Circular” - que permite desassociar o crescimento económico a geração de resíduos e visa a proteção ambiental, prevenção da poluição e o desenvolvimento sustentável. Com este estudo pretende-se identificar qual o grau de conhecimento por parte da organização Visteon Portuguesa Ltd. acerca do novo modelo de negócio, através da análise de um dos seus processos internos.
Como forma de investigação foi feito um enquadramento teórico baseado em literatura científica, o qual foi complementado com a análise dos processos internos da Visteon Portugues Ltd.
Dos resultados obtidos pode-se verificar que há conhecimento acerca da Economia Circular, e uma procura constante em melhorar os processos, tendo sempre em conta o conceito de Sustentabilidade.
As empresas em geral precisam reavaliar a sua estratégia e repensar as suas escolhas, olhando para este novo modelo de auto sustentabilidade como vantagem competitiva e único futuro empresarial.
Current models of consumption and production have contributed to society's increasingly focus in the importance of Sustainable Development. The increase in environmental and social awareness of society has been manifested in a growth of pressure on companies to implement more sustainable solutions. The automotive supply chain is characterized by high industrial development, which has consequently led to an increase in consumption. This has led to an intense debate about the growing scarcity of resources and waste production, which is increasingly a threat not only to the viability of the organizations themselves but also of the planet. Thus, in contrast to the linear model, a new business model emerges - "Circular Economy" - that allows disassociating economic growth from waste generation and aims at environmental protection, pollution prevention and sustainable development. This study intends to identify the degree of knowledge on the part of Visteon Portuguesa Ltd. about the new business model, through the analysis of one of its internal processes. As a form of research, a theoretical framework was been developed based on scientific literature, which was complemented by an analysis of the internal processes of Visteon Portuguesa Ltd. From the obtained results, it is possible to verify that there is knowledge about the Circular Economy, and a constant search to improve the processes, always taking into account the concepts of Sustainability. Businesses in general need to reevaluate their strategy and rethink their choices by looking at this new model of self-sustainability as a competitive advantage and unique business future.
