RESUMO

The Pork industry has an important and strategic role in agribusiness in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), and it acquires particular relevance due to the states tradition in this sector. The environment issue is a factor highly related to this activity, which nowadays puts in doubt the sustainability of the Pork industry. Pork industrys supply chain as the whole society is facing higher environmental pressures. This fact has created increasing constraints to this industry that its continuity may be in risk in a near future.This thesis aims to discuss how the issues that involve environment management can be integrated to the Pork industrys business challenges. Taking as basis a case study of the Pork supply chain in RS, we discuss the fundamental aspects of the environment issue using Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) as the theoretical basis. We seek to identify if the GSCM concepts are applied in the supply chain of the Pork Industry in RS and if they can improve profitability, including costs reduction, operational improvements or added value in products and services. Another issue analyzed is the operations sustainability and the environment challenges faced by this industry. The conclusions point out that this supply chain still does not identify positive effects caused by the environment management principles. Almost all the efforts today are strictly related to the environment regulation compliance.
