Avaliação de sustentabilidade em gerenciamento de projetos: um estudo exploratório no setor de alimentos

Abstract

Despite the increasing diffusion of project management practices, the discussion of issues related to environmental, social and economic sustainability is still incipient. This study aims to assess the integration of sustainability into project management. The methodological approach used was an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, conducted in six projects in the food service companies. Data were gathered through project documents and semi-structured interview with the projects’ stakeholders. The results of the pilot tool for the systematic evaluation of sustainability in projects and its practical application are described. The paper concludes that the pilot tool proposed presents a systematic logic with applicability for assessing sustainability in the context of project management. Finally, the results of the assessment show that the economic dimension still overlaps the environmental and social dimensions.
