Resumo: | In recent years, there has been a growth of Corporate Social Responsibility practises due to the increase of consumers’ expectations on environmental topics. Even though there is the demand of the market for products derived from companies that share the same values as its consumers, are there any evidences that prove that the connection between an organization’s strategic practises will directly lead to a performance improvement? Following the gap within the literature on exploring this theme, starting from a sample of 100 companies gathered from the Fortune 500, this dissertation intends to establish the correlation between Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility with firms’ financial performance. After collecting and analysing the data within a 5 years range, it has been proven that there is a positive connection between the two concepts and the organizations’ financial performance in this sample, when measured by one of the metrics. Within the concept of CSR, the Environmental components have proven a higher impact on the overall concept. And, additionally, Corporate Governance has demonstrated to be positively dependent on Corporate Social Responsibility. |

Embora exista a procura do mercado por produtos derivados de empresas que partilhem os mesmos valores que os seus consumidores, será que existem evidências que comprovem a conexão entre as práticas estratégicas de uma organização e a melhoria direta do seu desempenho? Seguindo a lacuna identificada na literatura sobre este tema, partindo de uma amostra de 100 empresas escolhidas a partir da Fortune 500, pretende-se com esta dissertação estabelecer a correlação entre Corporate Governance e Responsabilidade Social Corporativa com o respetivo desempenho financeiro. Após a recolha e análise dos dados correspondentes a um intervalo de 5 anos, foi comprovado que há uma conexão positiva entre os dois conceitos e o desempenho financeiro das organizações nesta amostra, quando medido por uma das métricas. Dentro do conceito de CSR, os componentes ambientais demonstraram ter o maior impacto no conceito geral. E, além disso, a Corporate Governance demonstrou estar positivamente dependente da Responsabilidade Social Corporativa.2022-01-12T11:36:04Z2021-10-27T00:00:00Z2021-10-272021-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/24017TID:202834972engRodrigues, Sofia Margarida de Sousa Ramosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:59:25Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/24017Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:31:12.182703Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
