“…Hence, effective and efficient managerial instruments are required, on the one hand, for assessing, monitoring, measuring, and controlling the overall port operations and processes; on the other hand, for educating, training, and supporting all the actors in developing environmentally sustainable behaviors, as well as for guaranteeing compliance with all existing environmental and social regulations [112,[117][118][119]. Thus, some previous studies already proposed managerial instruments in the port industry, such as BSC or TdB or training systems, but they do not have specific focus in using these instruments for addressing environmental sustainability.…”

Abstract:In the last 30 years, environmental sustainability has been receiving increasing attention by scholars and operators. All the seaport stakeholders, including port authorities (PAs), policy-makers, port users, any port stakeholders, and local communities, must invest substantial resources to achieve high competitiveness with respect of the environment. Drawing from the extant regulations system and conducting a deep review of the main contributions on the phenomenon, this conceptual study suggests managerial accounting instruments and training, which are still under-researched, as effective measures for enforcing and encouraging green port development. This three-step study consists of a systematic review of the regulatory frameworks and literature on the phenomenon, and an outline of the gap of the legislative framework and research, from a management innovation perspective, where effective managerial practices for environmental sustainability are not successfully suggested and implemented within seaports. On the one hand, the Balanced Scorecard and Tableau de Bord are identified and proposed as managerial accounting instruments for assessing, monitoring, measuring, controlling, and reporting the organizational processes of port players, mainly PAs, for developing competitive green ports. On the other hand, training has been suggested to educate and guide the human resources at all organizational levels within seaports, for supporting and developing awareness and behavioral attitudes in the direction of environmental sustainability.

“…Tudo isso (também) como mecanismo para visualizar quais as características ou formas de ações socioambientais que reproduzem efetivamente nos portos a "ideia reguladora". Essa generalização só foi possível porque o estudo de caso é uma "técnica" metodológica de pesquisa que possibilita generalizar para outras instâncias (YIN, 2005). Além disso, foi compreendido, nesta pesquisa, o setor empresarial portuário, como um "Campo" (BOURDIEU, 1989), ou seja, um espaço plural de agentes em lutas e conflitos que, no entanto, possui acepções linguísticas específicas, com sistemas de regras postas que se reconhecem mutuamente em torno do mesmo projeto (político ou outro) (BOURDIEU, 1997).…”

ResumoA dimensão ambiental tem se tornado fonte de "preocupações" e de ações do setor portuário, por meio da formação de um discurso ambiental enquanto ação (ambientalização). Considerando a questão, o objetivo do artigo é identificar e analisar criticamente a "ideia reguladora" que norteia o processo de ambientalização do setor empresarial portuário brasileiro, e, consequentemente, mostrar as características ou formas de ações socioambientais que a reproduzem. O caminho metodológico escolhido foi o de caráter qualitativo, cujo delineamento da pesquisa procedeu-se em três momentos: revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental, e, complementarmente, como elemento corroborativo, um estudo de caso. O Port marketing and the challenge of the third generation port, da Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Comércio e Desenvolvimento (UNCTAD) de 1992, é a ideia reguladora na qual o pressuposto é pautado em modelos conceituais dos portos, com o discurso-guia de reaproximação e integração porto-cidade, medidas de proteção ambiental e respeito ao meio ambiente e à seguridade. As características das ações reproduzidas centram-se nos trabalhadores portuários, nas capacitações pró-ativas, e, no uso da Educação Ambiental. A análise crítica mostrou que a inserção da dimensão ambiental é fonte de vantagem competitiva e saúde empresarial para, sobretudo, sustentar a lógica insaciável de acumulação de capital.Palavras-chave: Ambientalização portuária, Brasil, Portos.. AbstractThe environmental dimension has become a source of "concern" and actions from the port sector, through the formation of an environmental discourse as action (environmentalization). In considering the issue, the aim of this article is to identify and analyze critically the "regulative idea" that guides the process of environmentalization of the Brazilian port business sector, and consequently show the characteristics and forms of environmental actions that reproduce it. The methodological approach chosen was qualitative, whose research design proceeded in three stages: literature review, document research, and in addition, as corroborative element, a case study. The Port marketing and the challenge of the third generation port, from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) of 1992, is a regulative idea, in which the assumption is grounded in conceptual models of ports, with the speech-guide of rapprochement and port-city integration, measures for environmental protection and respect for the environment and security. The characteristics of the playback operation concentrates on port workers in proactive capabilities, and in the use of environmental education. The critical analysis showed that the inclusion of the environmental dimension is a source of competitive advantage and corporate health, especially to sustain the insatiable logic of capital accumulation.

“…Therefore in line with other major industries, they strive to achieve suitable EMS and EP. Accordingly, successful port environmental management should consider operations with an emphasis on those with potential to significantly impact the surrounding environment, and then identify actions to prevent or minimize these aspects [8]. An EMS furnishes the processes and procedures to control and improve the environmental consequences.…”
