“…According to Abreu et al (2012) and Moreira et al (2014) the fundamental idea is that companies can go beyond the legal execution of their economic function, thus contributing to a better world. Companies guided by CSR must be governed by factors as accountability, transparency, ethical behavior, stakeholders consideration, legality, human rights and international standards (Frynas and Stephens, 2015, ISO 26000, 2010, Zinenko et al 2015).…”

There are many definitions for the term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), but it can broadly be understood as a commitment that an organization must have towards society, expressed through actions and attitudes that affect it positively. In Latin America, in particular, this topic is still in maturing phase and few companies can actually develop CSR practices integrated into their management system. This paper aims to present CSR projects developed by a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, considered a reference in sustainable management practices and also verify if these activities are integrated into the company's management model in a mature way, as proposed by the literature. The research method was a 2 case study with semi-structured interviews with employees responsible for the institute's management that coordinated the projects. The results identified projects developed in six main areas: excellence in education, social partnership programs, entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, volunteering and preservation of the history of the Brazilian aeronautics industry. All these projects are exemplary managed and critically analyzed in relation to aggregation of value they provide to society, thus ensuring excellent results. As a conclusion of the survey, it was observed that Embraer has integrated the CSR practices with other existing management systems in a harmonious and mature form. Finally, the scientific value of this research lies in the presentation of CSR practices developed by one of the most important companies in Brazil, with a management system directed to excellence. Other companies and researchers can use these practices as a benchmark.

“…Frameworks and tools focusing on materials also propose the possibility of using natural fibers to replace glass fibers in the automotive industry (Alves et al, 2010), as well as supporting the designer in the selection of the most suitable carbon fiber-reinforced composite configuration (orientations, number of plies, material type) for aircraft structures (Calado et al, 2018). Furthermore, this research supports material selection for vessels (Favi et al, 2018), analyzes the use of textiles in the aircrafts' components (Moreira et al, 2015), and identifies key material efficiency considerations within the policy context (Tecchio et al, 2017).…”

“…In order to guide companies in applying ecodesign, some studies propose their operationalization through the use of specific practices, methods and tools (e.g., Bocken et al, 2014;Bovea and P erez-Belis, 2012;Byggeth and Hochschorner, 2006;Luttropp and Lagerstedt, 2006;Moreira et al, 2015;Rossi et al, 2016), and they note that the more anticipated these adoptions are in the NPD stage, the better environmental gains and impacts that can be achieved in the development of the new product (Collado-Ruiz and Ostad-Ahmad-Ghorabi, 2013; Luiz et al, 2016).…”

Although many studies on product portfolio management (PPM) and ecodesign exist, there are few investigations that analyze these areas in an integrated way. They are normally conceptually separated, with very few theoretical and empirical interactions evident in the literature. This article proposes a theoretical framework that integrates ecodesign practices, methods, and tools with portfolio management during the product planning stage. For the development of this framework, a systematic analysis and literature review of both PPM and ecodesign were conducted. The framework subsequently developed was evaluated through a pilot test within two companies that develop products derived from Brazilian biodiversity. In terms of results, it presents a set of practices that are associated with the following dimensions: Guides, Methods, and Tools; Organization; and Strategy. After presenting the evaluation of the framework by the companies, practices are proposed which can be useful for the integration of ecodesign into PPM, such as adoption of the Project Management Office (PMO) and the use of social media.
