          Abstract

          Resumo: Apesar de existirem muitos trabalhos sobre sustentabilidade ambiental, por um lado, e sobre gestão de portfólio de projetos, por outro, não há pesquisas que analisem esses temas de maneira integrada. Assim, as duas áreas seguem separadas e com apenas raras interfaces teórico-empíricas. Seguindo uma estratégia de estudo de caso em uma das maiores firmas europeias de energia, que se destaca mundialmente na produção de energias renováveis, este artigo tem como principal objetivo analisar e compreender as práticas adotadas para a integração das duas componentes, sustentabilidade ambiental e gestão de portfólio. Entre os principais resultados obtidos observou-se que os aspectos ambientais e sociais são indissociáveis nos principais projetos da empresa. A boa comunicação com stakeholders e, especialmente, com as comunidades locais e as diretamente afetadas pelos projetos também foi destacada como prática de gestão que pode ser empregada para melhorar o desempenho de projetos. Notou-se também que a lógica para a análise e aprovação de projetos na empresa, admissão de projetos para o portfólio empresarial também se pauta pelas análises das externalidades ambientais e sociais previstas pelos próprios projetos.

          Abstract: Although international and relevant research on environmental sustainability and project portfolio management is quite developed, there are few studies integrating the two areas. We could only identify research on each of the areas and very few interfaces between them, either in empirical or theoretical terms. In constructing a case study, our choice was to study of the existing European largest firms of energy production and supply, and one that is globally recognized in the area of renewable energy. This article aims to analyze and enable understanding of the policies and practices for integrating environmental sustainability and project portfolio management. Among the main results we observed that the environmental and social aspects of portfolio projects are inseparable for this organization. Good communication and active negotiation with stakeholders, especially with the local communities in the vicinity of projects, was highlighted as a management practice that may be used to improve project management performance. Furthermore, it was noted that logic in relation to identification, analysis and approval of new projects in the firm is also guided by the same environmental and social concerns.

              What Stakeholder Theory is Not

              The term stakeholder is a powerful one. This is due, to a significant degree, to its conceptual breadth. The term means different things to different people and hence evokes praise or scorn from a wide variety of scholars and practitioners. Such breadth of interpretation, though one of stakeholder theory’s greatest strengths, is also one of its most prominent theoretical liabilities. The goal of the current paper is like that of a controlled burn that clears away some of the underbrush of misinterpretation in the hope of denying easy fuel to the critical conflagration that would raze the theory. We aim to narrow its technical meaning for greater facility of use in management and organizational studies. By elaborating a number of common misinterpretations – critical and friendly – of the theory, we hope to render a stronger and more convincing theory as a starting place for future research.
