          Abstract

          O trabalho apresenta a avaliação das condutas sociais e ambientais na indústria têxtil nordestina, tendo por base o framework do modelo de avaliação da estratégia tríplice, denominado ECP-triplo (estrutura-conduta-performance-triplo). Com base neste modelo, uma empresa submetida a pressões da estrutura da indústria busca uma performance tríplice (econômica, ambiental e social) e, para tanto, precisa estabelecer condutas claramente sociais e ambientais, além da econômica. A pesquisa na indústria têxtil nordestina foi realizada em empresas representativas do setor e instaladas nos estados do Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco e Rio Grande do Norte, através de entrevistas diretas. O estudo analisa as empresas em função do porte e identifica perfis estratégicos de condutas ambientais e sociais, segundo uma escala definida como fraca, intermediária ou forte. Os resultados indicam uma predominância de empresas que adotam condutas fracas. Comparativamente, existe uma maior preocupação com a conduta ambiental que a social. No geral, a medida que aumenta o porte da empresa e o seu acesso aos mercados internacionais, o perfil de conduta social e ambiental tende a um maior nível de responsabilidade.

          Translated abstract

          This paper presents a social and environmental behaviour assessment of Northeast Brazil textile industry using the strategic assessment framework, named the triple-SCP model. This model is an expansion of the structure-conduct-performance paradigm adding the assumption that the triple performance (economic, environmental and social) of a company is the result of its competitive practices or conduct standards, depending on the industrial structure in which it operates. The data were collected from textile companies located in Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte states through in-depth personal interviews. The study categorized companies by size and identified social and environmental strategic conduct profiles. The conduct of the companies was rated as strong, medium or weak. The results show that most of firms adopt weak conduct on both social and environmental matters. Overall companies are more concerned about environmental issues than social ones. In general, larger firms and those which have international markets tend to have a stronger environmental and social conduct.
