Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility is being highlighted and demanded by consumers, government and non-governmental entities, and many other organizations. Companies’ environmental concern has become a matter of survival in the market. With the 4th Industrial Revolution many changes are happening in companies, new technologies are being used, innovation is present all the time, actually it is being required to innovate in a sustainable way, so innovation and sustainability are two fundamental issues for companies to remain competitive. Some organizations have already understood that becoming sustainable can bring many benefits and have identified the importance of balancing economic, social and environmental requirements. Brazil has a great worldwide participation in the production and export of poultry meat, which makes it a direct competitor of international companies, so it is necessary to worry about sustainable issues, so that it does not become a barrier to grow on new customers and to maintain the existing ones. In this paper, a systematic review of the literature was performed on economic, social and sustainable pillar indicators in agroindustry companies and in industry 4.0. The objective of the present work is to identify the indicators for assessing sustainable operations in a poultry slaughterhouse and to propose a model for assessing sustainable operations from the perspective of digital transformation. Three indicators were suggested for each pillar of the Triple Bottom Line (economic, social and environmental) as a model for assessing sustainable poultry slaughterhouse operations under the perspective of digital transformation.
