Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between sustainable operations practices (SOP) and performance. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted through a systematic literature review followed by a meta-analysis of correlations. Findings In the results, 14 of the relationships examined showed a positive relationship and 12 the presence of moderators. The study findings indicate that contingency affects the relationship between SOPs and performance. Research limitations/implications The research presented in this paper is mainly limited to databases that were searched. Among the quantitative articles selected from the databases, many did not have the data needed to conduct the meta-analysis, which may have limited the results of this study. Practical implications Using the results of this study, practitioners can become aware of to the occurrence of moderating factors in the relationships, which can range from interference from other practices and variables to characteristics of the organization itself or the market in which organizations operate. Originality/value This study uses a multidimensional approach for both SOP and performance. This approach allowed a more complete and comprehensive result, showing how these SOPs influence the different categories of performance, expanding the understanding of the relationship between practices and performance.

Com a implementação da Produção Integrada de Maçã (PIM), a cadeia produtiva da maçã brasileira demonstrou sua preocupação com as demandas apresentadas pelo mercado consumidor e, além disso, ratificou o papel de segmento pioneiro em inovação no agronegócio brasileiro. Assim sendo, este estudo teve como objetivos descrever a implementação da PIM, e, por meio de entrevistas com especialistas do setor que participaram dessa implementação, analisar se ela pode ser considerada um processo de inovação interativo. Também foram consultados arquivos da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA) e da Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Maçã (ABPM). Após a análise da coleta de dados, foi possível considerar a implementação da PIM como um modelo interativo de inovação, em que o centro é uma empresa combinando interações com outra empresa ou um segmento entre as empresas individualmente e o sistema de ciência e tecnologia. Por fim, foi possível perceber ainda que a implementação da PIM foi mais um exemplo de processo inovador realizado na cadeia produtiva da maçã.
