O papel da formalidade na inserção de indicadores sociais na cadeia de suprimento do setor de confecção popular

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Resumo:

Considerando o tema sustentabilidade em cadeias de suprimento e buscando diminuir a lacuna teórica em torno do debate sobre a dimensão social da sustentabilidade, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre a formalidade e a inserção de indicadores sociais na cadeia de suprimento do setor de confecção popular em Fortaleza-CE. Por meio de um estudo de caso, foram realizadas 20 entrevistas com empresas focais, fornecedores diretos e terceirizados, o que abrange a cadeia direta de suprimento. Realizou-se análise de conteúdo a partir das categorias responsabilidade social, saúde e segurança e desenvolvimento de fornecedores e seus 15 respectivos indicadores. Os resultados indicam que a formalização impacta na inserção de indicadores sociais, principalmente na categoria de saúde e segurança. Além disso, identificou-se a possibilidade de existir trabalho informal, mesmo nas empresas formalizadas, o que demonstra a necessidade de um novo olhar para este indicador. Com demonstração empírica, essa pesquisa contribui com o estudo de indicadores sociais na cadeia de suprimento e chama atenção para relações informais de trabalho no contexto local.

Companies	Formal Group

E9	Yes, everyone is formal

E10	It's because I do not need ... Yeah. When I need it. It's by production. It's not even a day job, it's production. She has to make me twenty new pieces a month. And I paid individually for these pieces. If she spends all morning here and only makes a piece, I pay for a piece. It is not daily. However, my stylist is already per day.
F1	It's ... It's complicated because I .... If I formalize I have to close the doors. Because lately I'm not taking it to me, and they know it. Because at home I leave everything very comfortable, they know everything from how much I get a piece, how many pieces did we produce, right?

Social Indicators	Quotes
Social Responsibility
Slavery work	I've heard at the news [slavery work] (E1).
Child work	No, I've never heard of child work from manufacturers! (FORN 1)
Ethical behaviour	We did not have it like this... Government incentive and we really rehabbed, a lot here from the factory... They are people: Ex-addicts, ex-drug addicts, it's a good slice of our employees and they even learn in practice, they will... One teaching to the other who is entering and the starting point of all of them was my husband himself (E13).
Community work	I donate to the Cancer Institute! (E9).
Unfair wages	Yes, we are paying the salary above what is required (E13).
Minority inclusion	There is no problem. Even the company is very mixed regarding religion, right? We have here protestants, Catholics, various types. And that's not even in our register to ask, right? (FORN2). No, in reality, I outsource 90% right? So here, I do not think I have conditions to hire these people (E9).
Gender	No way! I work with them here! I have stylists, I have dressmakers who are man and I have no problem at all (E11).
Marginalised people inclusion	Most of the painting and stamping sectors have them. It is precisely because of this social project that they go hand in hand. What is reintegration into society. That's the part. The guys working with Calandro (big machine of stamping fabric), they were prisoners, one was robber, today is not anymore. Today the right arm of her husband, more trustworthy to save money for her husband, in high values, he was a thief, he plucked a house (E13).
Health and safety
Work schedule	From eight to five in the afternoon. And on Saturday from eight to noon. But always leave at eleven. [referring to working schedule] (FORN1)..
Working conditions	The ones I have contact offer working conditions but what I used to relate had problems before. There were some that explored too much (FORN2).
Awards	Awards. If the employee do not miss a workday, we provide it! Person who does not lack, it has an award, the person who has production has a award. Overtime payment... All correct. (E11).
Supplier Development
Type of Relationship	We travel to visit some suppliers, we go to the suppliers ... We often go to do the shopping properly ... From time to time we even do these purchases. You're having this closer relationship with them (E13).
Trust	We trust, distrusting because it has to be with the seamstress ... We need to have close look [referring to outsourced] (E6).
Supplier assessment	No. I visit, but only they are in São Paulo, but they want us to go with them to China to say the product we want to give them a tip and I never went. But for Sao Paulo I always go. To see the market right? It's more about research (FORN1).
Supplier selection	Several suppliers, from whom to bring more differential. Nowadays, we are practically like this, choosing who brings some differentiated because the customer only wants differentiated right? (FORN1)

Social Indicators	Quotes
Social Responsibility
Slavery work	We listen sporadically, but that there at home never had anything (E5)
Child work	No. I've never heard of it; neither. Because so, the facção is always woman, husband and children that so in the house right? The biggest! Because the minors only study (E2).
Ethical behaviour	[We have importance in the market] because you will not get a lot of unemployed family. The way unemployment is, right? (E4)
Community work	Yes. I donate every month to the church. (E10)
Unfair wages	There are things I do not think are fair. It should be better. There are things that I really get into because I think that the person give the piece to me for the price and you really see that it can be a little bit more and I complain a lot. (E3).
Minority inclusion	Yes, I would hire. There would be no problem [however they have no disabled staff] (F1, F2, F3, F4 e F5).
Gender	Not any, I do not have this prejudice (F3).
Marginalised people inclusion	No way, thank God [indicating that he has no problem hiring] (F3). Oh, because I like helping people. I like to give opportunity, sometimes people do the wrong things for lack of opportunity (F1).
Health and safety
Work schedule	Impressively from eight in the morning until six in the afternoon, from Monday to Thursday. And from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon on Friday. All of them! Do not overdo also leave early. Facção is from seven thirty to four thirty. They make their schedules. Because it's like it's a cooperative here. There in the interior of Redenção, I do not know (E8).
Working conditions	I believe they are all well and good, right? My intention is to improve every time. But at the moment I can not, because even today we had a meeting and I was saying to them, “people, we're going to have to improve on productivity, because lately I'm not even taking the light off!” (F1).
Awards	When they are ... Produce more, there I ... I give an award, a little gift (F1).
Supplier Development
Type of Relationship	They ask me, they ask me for a faster way to work. Yeah, they say like this: “Dona Cleide, our piece is from here. But if you think you have to change something in the piece, to get the production lighter, give your opinion!” (F2).
Trust	Because so insecurity, I what I tell you ... I do not know if you have or if they will still be with me [referring to companies] (F1).
Supplier assessment	I never leave the house. Just... Just the Mira Mary, that the boy comes... Because so, they are starting now and are with the same insecurity that... (F1).
