In recent years, one of the axes of social responsibility, the environmental issue, began to gain more prominence, as well as the dissemination of sustainability practices. The idea of the triple bottom line, the sustainability tripod, argues that an organization must have satisfactory results in the three economic, social and environmental spheres. According to this formulation, the social concern is contained within the theme of sustainability. The actions of social responsibility and sustainability have a strong social character and are intended to validate a change of position of the organizations, in an attempt to reduce a little the exclusive attention to actions of a financial nature, which aim only at economic sustainability and the return of its shareholders. The research aims to demonstrate that the phenomenon of sustainability, previously related to environmental actions, had its scope expanded, including also social aspects. Factors previously related only to social responsibility, are now evident in the understanding of sustainability. For this observation, a review of the literature and a survey of data in Brazilian companies was carried out, using an intentional sample. The research shows that the literature indicates an association between the phenomenon and the data reveal that the companies approach social practices and actions within their sustainability programs.
