Being green makes me greener? An evaluation of sustainability rebound effects Luciana Oranges Cezarino, Márcio de Queiroz Murad, Paulo Vinícius Resende, Wisley Falco Sales Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020 Sustainability is not only about caring for future generations. It can be a profitable business. For stock market investors sometimes, it is difficult to choose where to allocate financial resources, especially in sustainability investment funds. In this sense, the Brazilian stock market index provides a measurement criterion that defines which Brazilian companies invest in sustainability purposes, the so-called Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE). What is still unknown are the consequences of the performance of this index in the stimulation of new practices of sustainability in companies, in other words, if there is a rebound effect of green investments in stock markets. For that, we conduct a documental research analysis comparing virtuous and crisis economic periods with Delphi Method and correlation regression. The data revealed that certified companies still maintain their investments in sustainability practices even when the context is not favorable and the index is not performing well. This represents a cost in the short-range that represents a positive rebound effect of being certified and employing efforts to maintain greener operations in the long-range. Individual behavior revealed to be a fundamental aspect of an organizational decision of sustainability strategy. The paper contributes to investment market choices for attesting long-range sustainability investments by certified companies, even in hostile economic conditions, demonstrating that sustainability is aligned with purpose and durable commitment toward sustainable development.
Sustainable welding processes – case study of hard coating application in sugar cane mills Marcio de Queiroz Murad, Valtair Antônio Feraressi, Wisley Falco Sales Soldagem E Inspecao, 2020 Resumo: A avaliação da sustentabilidade dos processos de soldagem é focada principalmente na geração de resíduos. Dentro desta linha de pesquisa, quando se analisa os respingos provenientes da soldagem, como um resíduo contaminante e uma perda de recursos financeiros, percebe-se que este assunto é pouco explorado. Assim, este trabalho apresenta uma análise relacionada a sustentabilidade na aplicação de revestimento duro pelo processo FCAW. O objetivo é estudar a influência do parâmetro velocidade de aplicação de revestimento (VC) no Rendimento de Deposição (Rd) aplicado ao revestimento duro em camisas de moendas. Os aspectos relacionados a Triple Bottom Line foram discutidos em pró de uma manufatura sustentável e serão focados nos pilares econômicos e ambientais neste estudo. Como ponto de partida, entrou-se em contato como uma empresa parceira que executa esse procedimento utilizando Vc 10 m/min. Como proposta este estudo, utilizando Vc de 6, 10 e 13,6 m/min foi calculado o Rd para as 3 situações. Os resultados mostraram uma melhora no Rd quando se reduziu a Vc. Esta melhoria reflete em uma economia de aproximadamente R$ 6.7 milhões por ano e se evitaria de gerar 385 toneladas de materiais perigosos no Brasil. Resultados estes que contribuem para uma produção mais sustentável.
