| Abstract |
This paper aimed to analyze the role that sustainable supply chain operations play in commercial responses to sustainability imperatives. This is a unique case study, developed together with a medium-sized timber industry, located in southern Brazil. This is a qualitative study whose approach is descriptive. It has been found that the role that industrial operations play in the context of sustainable supply chains is essential and relevant. Its operations are responsible for the generation of pollutants and waste is treated in a way that minimizes the environmental liability that the company generates, through the circulation of all waste within the production chain, used by other agents. The organization played an important role in the environmental pillar through multi-stakeholder engagement through compliance with environmental legal requirements and awareness of environmental sustainability. In social guidelines related to norms and labor laws of human rights, handling and training operations of toxic agents and machinery, there is also engagement. Therefore, the organization acts following legal guidelines, driven not only by government agencies, but mainly instigated by current and potential clients. |
