Sustainability in the supply chain: a research based on gri reports

The transparency of sustainability practices has become essential for communication between companies and stakeholders. GRI reports, by nature, can be necessary tools for this disclosure. This article, therefore, aims to investigate how sustainability practices reported in GRI reports make the sustainability of the supply chain transparent. The methodology used was exploratory qualitative, and the data were extracted from the sustainability reports of companies listed in the Bovespa yearbook (B3) and analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results reinforce the initial proposition that companies' sustainability GRI reports can be used to identify green supply chain management practices, which are associated with the main organizational activities and are standardized by the GRI manual.
