RESUMO:

In recent years, sustainability has emerged as a global concern, driven by natural resource scarcity and shifts in consumption patterns. This master's thesis explores the implementation of sustainable practices in the corporate environment, with a special focus on the agribusiness sector in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The study adopts a holistic approach, analyzing the three pillars of corporate sustainability: Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG). The challenge of incorporating sustainable practices into companies is compounded by their profit orientation and the specificities of each sector. To address these issues, the research establishes two central objectives: to contextualize sustainability globally, including its standardization and regulation, and to understand the process of internalizing sustainability in an agribusiness company in Mato Grosso. Using a combination of literature review and qualitative research, the study investigates the effectiveness of implementing sustainable practices in the agribusiness sector. The results of the first chapter reveal that although corporate sustainability reports play a crucial role in communicating sustainable practices and the socio-environmental impacts of companies, there is a need for intensification of standardization and adoption of these standards by Brazil to ensure the usefulness, reliability, and comparability of these reports by stakeholders. The results of the second chapter highlight that the agribusiness sector possesses unique characteristics and practices, such as the no-tillage method and the integration of crop-livestock and livestock-forestry, which can be significant in terms of economic gains, productivity, and reduction of environmental impacts, contributing to the achievement of a sustainable development economic model. Organizational culture and technological limitations are challenging factors in internalizing sustainable practices in the corporate environment of agribusiness. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the process of internalizing sustainability in the agribusiness sector, providing valuable insights for companies and policymakers interested in promoting sustainable practices
