Brazilian Beef Chain. Environmental, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)Abstract
This essay aims to analyze the management possibilities for stakeholders in the creation of value in the Brazilian beef chain. The systematic review of the literature, with the help of bibliometric research, made it possible to extract the central point of the controversy on the subject through the questioning: the paradigm of the Stakeholders Theory, from the perspective of the Stakeholders Capitalism model, by incorporating the assumptions of ESG in the chain of beef will be able to create value and contemplate the economic, social and environmental dimensions or will it be restricted only to inoperative discourses based on challenges to be faced without practical purposes? In epistemological terms, the partial results identified in the review point to two opposite directions, which are characterized by views that can be called realistic and idealistic, respectively. The contribution of the research is to critically discuss the managerial implications and the theoretical possibilities of adopting humanistic reference procedures (ESG and Stakeholder Capitalism) and, as a result, the updating of models that present themselves in the new contemporary competitive scenarios in which the pragmatic aspects of business seem to manifest an imperative need to be associated with social and environmental aspects.
