Abstract

The corporate sustainability is to lead an organization consciously and responsibly. This means that managers must consider the social factor, environmental and economic in formulating the organization's strategies. The Logistic Operator is responsible for the management and execution of many activities that make up a logistics system (supply, manufacturing and distribution). Adapting to new market demands, these companies are adopting a more conscious behaviors and speeches towards their internal and external responsibilities. Through a case study with 69 Logistic Operators working in Brazil, the aim of this study is to analyze the commitment of these agents with the pillars of sustainability. Essentially, data collection found information disclosed in public domain media (internet). In reason of the Brazilian profile matrix in cargos transportation, companies were selected to act in the market with a focus on road transportation. The variety of practices identified shows that the interest in the cause is shared. However, the percentage of organizations that adhere to these practices is very small. Low adherence to the projects and the concentration of actions on a specific group of logistics operators demonstrate that interest in the cause is shared, but the commitment to it is not.
