Responsabilidade social e a governança corporativa: perspectivas de gestão socioambiental nas organizações

Abstract

The Social Responsibility allied to Corporate Governance provides several implications and reflections for the various stakeholders involved, since it implies the commitment of the business to contribute to sustainable economic development. This article used as a methodology the bibliographic research, in order to verify the relationship between Corporate Governance, Corporate Social Responsibility and the current environmental perspective of organizations facing this relationship, through the principles and proposals of CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development ) and cases of 20 model companies in social and environmental responsibility, according to a survey by Exame magazine. It is concluded that in the current context, organizations that want to thrive and excel in the corporate market are increasingly inclined to the perspective of renewed environmentalism, adopting socio-environmental practices to add value to their image, prioritizing political interests that aim for profit as the mainstay of sustainable practices viability decisions.
