Abstract

The objective of this paper is to identify, in selected companies of the Information Technology branch from the city of Uberlândia, the existence of characteristics that contribute to the sustainable development, as well as to verify if the companies are aware of the actions that are inserted within Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). To do so, we search for: i. give a brief presentation of the theoretical and conceptual aspects behind CSR; ii. as of the literature, to list elements that allow the construction of an analytical model and a questionnaire to evaluate the companies in the sector; iii. Analyze descriptively data obtained in order to identify common characteristics, differences and trends. Among the results, it is importante to mention that even if companies are aware of important aspects of CSR, it is still necessary to mature actions in a more concrete way.
