Comportamento sustentável no setor financeiro: Uma análise em um banco de desenvolvimento do nordeste

Abstract

ABSTRACT In view of the sustainability concept, the research objective is to investigate sustainable behavior among employees in a development bank, focusing on the outcomes from an environmental perspective. To achieve this, the employed methodology involved literature review, documentary analysis of sustainability reports provided by the company, in conjunction with conducting survey-type research. This survey utilized a questionnaire as a tool for collecting sociodemographic data and the application of a validated scale regarding sustainable behavior in the workplace. The research results indicate that a considerable portion of employees demonstrates a moderate level of sustainable behavior in the workplace. However, there is an observed tendency where employees in higher hierarchical positions and with higher income tend to display more positive results. This suggests the imminent need for the implementation of actions directed towards awareness and training, aiming to encourage the consistent adoption of sustainable practices.
