Based on the current need for organizations to adopt sustainable practices as strategies of competitive advantage, the aim of this study was to analyze how the sustainable practices of hotel enterprises in Bonito / MS are inserted in their belief and boundary systems. The epistemology of this research is constructivist, with qualitative approach, by the relationship of partnership between subject and object to be researched, through empirical observation. The following data collection instruments were used: a) documents and b) semi-structured interviews. The main data collection instrument used in this research was the semi-structured interviews. Through the interviews it was possible to realize that the three hotels have many practices of conservation of natural resources and social responsibility.
