Abstract

In a context of organizational discourse and practice, socioenvironmental responsibility is discussed in the business and academic worlds as an essential practice for survival in today’s world. This essay investigates the factors underlying this Socio-Environmental Responsibility, going beyond the superficial reading which is widely published by companies, the media and academic publications, and which the general public holds as ethical and socially responsible. In the theoretical background and final considerations, a critical approach is added to the theme, in an attempt to identify a “face” of socio-environmental responsibility that is little revealed, and which companies take advantage of to legitimize their role in society, increase their sales and increase their control over their employees.
