摘要

This paper intends to study homogeneity regarding sustainability disclosure evidence aspects in the strategic guidelines and operational practices of agricultural cooperatives associated with OCEPAR, located in Paraná State, Brazil. The research approach is descriptive and applies quantitative techniques for analyzing data. Data collection came from 2014 annual reports covering the 16 largest agricultural cooperatives of OCEPAR. For the evaluation, 34 variables were selected, classified into four dimensions, according to their organizational nature. For the sustainability aspects evidence assessment, a score of 0, 1 and 2 was considered for entities that did not publish, generically publish or specifically publish such information. In addition to the descriptive statistics, the hierarchical cluster analysis was used with the following parameters: Ward’s method and squared Euclidean distance. The Dendrogram indicated the existence of, at least, two main groups, with eight cooperatives each. Comparison tests for independent samples, both parametric (t-test) and non-parametric (Mann-Whitney U), show that the four categories which show the sustainability aspects of OCEPAR’s cooperatives are discriminating among themselves, indicating, therefore, the occurrence of heterogeneity regarding such practices. In consequence, there is a group which level of cooperative’s disclosure is above average, while on the other group the level of disclosure is below average. For future research, it is suggested to investigate the causes of this polarization.
