Gestión y sostenibilidad: enfoques desde las ciencias administrativas

Abstract

Do management and integrated reports enable the creation of value while considering the principles of sustainability? Is it complex to promote corporate social responsibility in the transportation and agro-industrial sectors? Can we provide sustainability consulting services while simultaneously guaranteeing productivity and a positive contribution to the earth? Management and Sustainability: Approaches from Administrative Sciences responds to these questions, arguing that it is indeed possible for environmentally sustainable business practices and policies to foster economic growth in the long term.

This compilation, aimed at managers, students, academics, and legislators, develops an in-depth reflection on the continuous commitment of companies especially in the Latin American context to behave ethically and contribute to global economic development, while creating lasting value for society and the environment. The chapters illustrate the multifaceted nature of sustainability, emphasizing that it is not limited solely to environmental issues, but extends to social, economic, and governance aspects. Furthermore, they reflect how administrative sciences are fundamental in driving global transformation, contributing to a more equitable and sustainable world for future generations.

As a whole, the publication invites a rethinking of responsibility and commitment to sustainable management within organizations, aligned with the contemporary challenges of social and environmental justice.
