“…It improves the customers' confidence while buying the product, which helps the brands in the long term by building the brand identity for transparency perspective. Interestingly, some customers consider traceability equivalent to certification (Ubilava and Foster 2009), which can potentially add to the abovementioned retailer-end-user relation. Furthermore, as aforementioned product recall is a well-recognized issue.…”

Sustainability is a widely recognized concern and priority for healthy growth of the society and for preservation of the planet. Concerning this, textile sector has seen an unprecedented demand for sustainable products from the consumers, responding to which organizations have undertaken different initiatives. One of the major concerns in the textile sector is its complex supply chain networks and the involvement of numerous actors dealing with diverse raw materials and operations. The effective implementation of sustainability at the industrial scale would require the participation of all supply chain actors, along with an efficient traceability system to monitor and analyze different sustainability aspects. Furthermore, traceability is an integral part of the recycling process which contributes towards the sustainability. Therefore, the present article focuses on the contribution of traceable information towards attaining the sustainability in the textile sector. The three pillars of sustainability, namely, ecological, societal, and economic, are discussed for their relation and dependency on the traceability followed by an overview of the challenges in successful implementation of the traceability system, which is anticipated to shape the future research questions.

“…Visual appearance is concerned with general visual aspects and include the colour and apparent texture of the meat, Consonant with that result, Ubilava and Foster (2009) suggested by means of a logistic regression model that in the Republic of Georgia, both the consumers and the integrant of the productive chain of meat would be concerned firstly with the visual appearance of meat. Similar results were also found by Velho et al (2009), who reported that 57.6% of interviewees in Rio Grande do Sul, 64% of whom were female and 52% male, chose meat on the basis of its colour.…”

“…Brumm & Terra (1988) salientaram que a carne mais escura ou com coloração esverdeada e superfície úmida pode sugerir estado de decomposição, com desenvolvimento de bactérias que aumentam o risco de doenças transmitidas por alimentos. Ubilava & Foster (2009) sugeriram, por meio de um modelo de regressão logística que, na República da Georgia, tanto os consumidores quanto os integrantes da cadeia produtiva da carne deviam preocuparse primeiramente com a aparência visual da carne, a fim de se evitar a compra de produtos estragadados.…”

“…Com ela é possível, através de uma etiqueta e um número vinculado a um corte da carne bovina, conhecer todo o manejo do animal, desde o seu nascimento até seu abate e comercialização (Lopes et al, 2007). Segundo Ubilava & Foster (2009), a certificação de qualidade é uma segmentação de mercado que leva a maiores oportunidades para processadores de alimentos e varejistas, por serem considerados parte do sistema de gestão e envolver controle do sistema de produção.…”

Fatores associados à percepção e atitude de consumidores de carne bovina com certificação de origem em Uberlândia, Minas Gerais O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os fatores socioeconômicos relacionados com a decisão de compra de carne com certificação de origem, além de levantar os perfis de percepção e de atitude dos consumidores de carne bovina, em Uberlândia, MG. Foi realizada a descrição das variáveis e construído um modelo múltiplo Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) de regressão logística, para testar as possíveis associações entre as características socioeconômicas dos consumidores e os principais atributos da carne que influenciam a decisão sobre sua compra. As informações foram levantadas por meio de entrevistas com 213 consumidores, de abril a maio de 2012. A presença do carimbo do serviço de inspeção federal (SIF) ou estadual é o atributo que mais influencia a decisão de compra dos consumidores. A maioria dos entrevistados já ouviu falar sobre rastreabilidade bovina. Dentre estes, a maior parte está disposta a pagar mais pela carne com certificação de origem. Apesar disso, muitos consideram que o aumento do preço da carne é uma desvantagem da rastreabilidade. Consumidores com maior grau de escolaridade e renda apresentaram melhor conhecimento sobre este tipo de certificação, sendo esses fatores os de grande influência sobre a aceitação dos consumidores em pagar mais caro pela carne bovina rastreada. Palavras Factors associated with perceptions and attitude of consumers of beef with certificate of origin in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, BrazilThe aim of this study was to verify the socioeconomic factors related to the decision to purchase beef with certificate of origin, as well as raise the profile of perception and attitude of consumers of beef in Uberlândia/MG. We performed a description of the variables and built a Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model of logistic regression to identify possible associations between the socio-economic characteristics of the consumers and the main attributes of the beef that influence its purchase. The information was gathered through interviews with 213 consumers, from April to May, 2012. The presence of the seal from the Federal Inspection Service (SIF) or the State Inspection Service (SIE) is the attribute that has more influence on the consumers' decision to purchase beef. Most respondents had already heard about bovine traceability. Among these, most would be willing to pay more for beef with certificate of origin. However, the majority consider that there are disadvantages associated with traceability, especially in relation to the increase in the price. Consumers with higher education and income had more knowledge about this type of certification, and these factors are of great influence on the consumers' willingness to pay more for traced beef.
