Abstract
Different organizations and institutions adopt Collaborative Logistics expecting to achieve a sustainable model in which the product serves society and generates profits. This research has the objective of identifying the impacts of collaborative logistics in the Brazilian brewing sector using a mathematical model that considers economic indicators and environmental ef- ficiency. Through a qualitative and exploratory methodology using the case study technique, results show a 100% increase in economic efficiency and a 40% reduction in CO2 emis- sions. The findings are relevant because they demonstrate that strategies of collaboration are recognized as the most effective approach for costs reduction and for sustainable business performance.
