Responsabilidade social empresarial no setor sucroenergético em Goiás

Abstract

The discussion on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is caused by the understanding that companies should be responsible for mitigating the impacts of their activities on society and the environment. By using Ethos Indicators of Corporate Social Responsibility as a conceptual model, and by applying this study’s own methodology to adjust the responses, this study considered that the Corporate Social Responsibility is partially implemented (PI) in the surveyed organizations. The following aspects are best deployed: environment; consumers and clients; and community. The following aspects have a low level of deployment: values, transparency and governance; workforce; and suppliers. Results indicate that corporate social performance tends to be better when the organization combines the following variables: time; self-management; and full integration of CSR with the strategic objectives.
