The environmental dimension in the organisational sustainability

Abstract

The concept of Sustainable Development in organisational context implies the integration of environmental and social concerns in company’s business operations. The main purpose of this work was to analyse published Sustainability Reports to evaluate the importance of the environmental dimension on the global sustainability strategy of Portuguese organisations. As main conclusions, the environmental dimension was found to be relevant in the management of Organisational Sustainability, although efforts must be taken to further stimulate organisations in guiding their strategic development towards Sustainability.
