ABSTRACT: The
growing interest of companies, especially multinationals, large companies and
national conglomerates, to show better environmental and social performance, as
part of their Corporate Social Responsibility policy; it is often reflected in
their management structures and investment policies. In a review of different
studies and surveys on the environmental performance of the business sector in
five Latin American countries, it was possible to observe that companies make
environmental investments mainly for three reasons: to comply with
environmental and social regulations and standards, to improve their image in
front of the community and to access other markets. The three reasons coincide
with the same ones that companies give when asked why they have a Social
Responsibility policy. In this context, this scientific contribution focuses on
a bibliometric and bibliographic analysis of publications related to social
responsibility in terms of economic sustainability.
