Estratégias de sustentabilidade de empresas

Abstract

The accelerated development that society has been experiencing in the last 50 years has brought numerous advantages and opportunities for human beings, however, the planet suffers from several impacts resulting from this evolution. Therefore, society began to seek alternatives to continue development without harming the planet and its natural resources. Within the world market, companies have proposed to act in a more sustainable way, balancing their actions with the preservation of the environment. Therefore, this work discusses corporate sustainability and cases of companies that stood out in the GLOBAL 100 ranking, by Corporate Knights magazine, of the most sustainable companies in the world in 2021 (CORPORATE KNIGHTS, 2021). The companies’ data were obtained through their 2020 sustainability reports, from which an analysis was made of common points within the companies' strategy, with 9 indicators being listed at the end. It was noted that there was a pattern within the actions of these companies, guided by environmental, social, governance and economic themes, and that the Sustainable Development Goals (ONU, 2015) were addressed in the reports and served as a reference for companies to set up their sustainability strategies.
