Responsabilidadesocial corporativa em empresas do setor de alimentos da B3: um estudo com foco na criação de valor sustentável

Abstract

This study seeks to identify the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices that companies adopt in order to be better recognized by their employees, shareholders, and society as a whole. The objective is to understand how these practices influence the organization's performance, considering employee satisfaction, increased productivity, and the shareholder's perception of value. Additionally, the research also addresses the benefits offered by the analyzed companies to their employees, adherence to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and participation in the Global Compact. Through descriptive, qualitative, and bibliographical research, it is intended to collect the necessary data for the study and analysis of the topic. The sample included six B3-listed food sector companies that are part of the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) and follow the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines for preparing their reports: BRF, JBS, Marfrig, Minerva Foods, Camil Alimentos, and M. Dias Branco. The results show that by implementing CSR practices, companies tend to attract more investors, are socially well-regarded, and achieve improved governance. The theoretical model proposed in the study reveals that employee satisfaction has a positive influence on productivity and shareholder returns, creating a cycle of sustainable value creation. The research also highlights that ESG (environmental, social, and governance) practices are fundamental for organizations to achieve long-term success.
