Abstract(s)
Atualmente, vivemos num mundo tecnológico, globalizado, onde as vantagens
competitivas de cada empresa são cada vez mais ameaçadas por uma crescente
competitividade a nível dos mercados concorrenciais onde essas empresas operam.
Assistimos diariamente a uma crescente industrialização da sociedade, que se
caracteriza por um aumento massivo da população a nível mundial e ao consequente
aumento da quantidade de produtos e serviços necessários para satisfazer as necessidades
dessa mesma população. Assiste-se também ao aumento das trocas comerciais a nível
mundial, o que implica uma constante movimentação de matérias primas, subsidiarias e
produtos acabados, tudo isto para que o cliente final possa estar plenamente satisfeito com
a qualidade, preço e acesso ao produto/serviço em questão.
Contudo, este aumento da industrialização trouxe-nos também muitos problemas,
sendo um dos mais importantes o relacionado com as questões ambientais.
Vivemos tempos em que assistimos a uma preocupação crescente em preservar o
meio ambiente, tentando conjugar o crescimento sustentável com a tão necessária produção
de bens e serviços, fundamentais à nossa existência.
Desta forma, como em qualquer outra área, estas preocupações são trazidas para a
área da logística, onde se tenta através da adoção de práticas e de novas tecnologias,
minimizar o resultado da atuação das empresas, contribuindo assim para um tão
ambicionado crescimento sustentável.
É hoje comum tentar-se adotar meios de transporte menos poluentes, com menos
consumo de energia, reciclagem das matérias, reutilização e o tratamento de outputs de
produção que são prejudiciais ao ambiente, são alguns exemplos de medidas em que a
logística pode contribuir para a sustentabilidade.
Nesse âmbito, o estudo do contributo da logística para a sustentabilidade ambiental
torna-se um elemento importante para se compreender o que está a ser feito ao nível logístico, tentando-se identificar medidas concretas que possam ser boas práticas no campo
da sustentabilidade ambiental.
Currently, we live in a globalized, technological world, where the competitive advantages of each company are increasingly threatened by a growing competitiveness concerning the markets where those companies operate. Daily we watch an increasing industrialization of society, which is characterized by a massive population increase worldwide and an increase of the quantity of products and services necessary to meet the needs of the population. There is also the increase of trade worldwide, which implies a constant movement of raw materials and finished products , al this so that the final customer fully satisfied with the quality, price and access to the product/service in concerned However, this increase of industrialization has brought us too many problems, being one of the most important related to environmental issues. We live in a time in which we are witnessing a growing concern in preserving the environment, trying to combine sustainable growth with the needed goods and services production, essential to our existence. In this way, as in any other area, these concerns are brought to the area of logistics, which tries through the adoption of new technologies and practices, minimize the outcome of enterprises, thus contributing to the much coveted sustainable growth. It is common today to try to adopt less polluting means of transport, with less energy consumption, recycling of materials, reuse and treatment of production outputs which are harmful to the environment, these are some examples of measures in which logistics can contribute to sustainability. In this context, the study of the contribution of logistics for environmental sustainability becomes an important element to understand what is being done at the logistical level, trying to identify concrete measures that could be good practice in the field of environmental sustainability.
