Abstract

Abstract Stakeholders’ increasing concern with sustainability has been encouraging firms to adopt practices aimed at minimizing their negative externalities. The aim of the current article is to investigate the impact of adopting sustainability practices on the performance and competitiveness of the Brazilian furniture industry. Environmental management variables, operational practices, social practices focused on both the employees and the community were herein considered sustainability practices. Results have indicated the positive association of operational and social practices with sustainability performance and competitiveness. However, such behavior was not observed in environmental practices. The current study has shown the way each sustainability dimension influences performance by encouraging managers to invest in social and environmental practices, and by contributing to systemic changes on behalf of sustainability. Evidence has confirmed that investing in sustainability practices helps improving companies’ performance and competitiveness.

出口家具行业管理的可持续性实践、绩效和竞争力

利益相关者对可持续发展的日益关注促使企业采取旨在将其负外部性最小化的做法。本文的目的是调查采用可持续发展实践对巴西家具业的绩效和竞争力的影响。环境管理变量、运营实践、关注员工和社区的社会实践在这里被认为是可持续发展实践。结果表明，业务实践和社会实践与可持续发展绩效和竞争力呈正相关。然而，在环境实践中没有观察到这种行为。目前的研究表明，通过鼓励管理者投资于社会和环境实践，以及促进代表可持续性的系统性变革，每个可持续性维度影响绩效的方式。有证据证实，投资于可持续性实践有助于提高公司的业绩和竞争力。
