ABSTRACT
Inequality, poverty and hunger affect societies andcan no longer be overlooked by organizations. Actions for environmental protection and social justice can be put together since they are complementary and have a common ultimate goal. Companies avoid investing in treatment and waste incineration, as they may discard them in devalued areas, with low public investment in urban infrastructure and inhabited by poor and less organized citizens.This article presents a frame of reference that refers tosocio-environmental corporate responsibility, here called Integrated Sustainable Management – GSI. It is formed by three independent elements: corporate social responsibility, environmental administration and environmental marketing, all based on socio-environmental education. Through an exploratory approach, the salient actions of each element are identified, through secondary data mainly obtained in publications of Instituto Ethos and in Brazilian norms (NBR) ISO 14.001 and ISO 14.004. A total of 15 environment specialists were consulted, from which an ordinal classification of the relevant actions in each element of GSI was obtained, having been concluded that: 1) social responsibility motions are primarily linked to managerial transparency; 2) in what concerns environmental management, it means rationalizing products, processes and services in the company; 3) environmental marketing must focus on the selection of suppliers, on the conception of projects and on innovations that minimize environmental impact.
