Resumo: | Based on the Signaling Theory and the Legitimacy Theory, the present research aims at investigating the relationship between economic performance and environmental performance in Brazilian and Spanish companies. Additionally, the correspondence between the levels of environmental impact and environmental performance in secondary sector companies was analyzed. It is a descriptive research of quantitative nature which analyzes data from 41 Brazilian companies and 25 Spanish companies; all of them public companies, which published GRI-G3 sustainability reports in 2010. 2009 data were also considered. ROA, ROE, ROS and ROM (Tobin’s Q) economic indexes were analyzed as well. Environmental performance was represented by index EN30 (total sum of expenditures and investments in environmental protection) in the sustainability report, divided by the total of Assets. Results point at the existence of a relationship between the variables analyzed year by year, in each country, and also using the time delay attribute. By means of the Correspondence Analysis statistical technique, and considering the two countries together, the research hypothesis was rejected since secondary sector companies with high environmental impact presented low and medium levels of environmental performance. Keywords: Economic performance. Environmental performance. Signaling theory. Legitimacy theory. |

Adicionalmente, se analiza la correspondencia entre el nivel de impacto ambiental y el desempeño ambiental de las empresas del sector secundario. Se trata de una investigación descriptiva, de naturaleza cuantitativa, analizando los datos de 41 empresas brasileñas y 25 españolas, todas de capital abierto, que publicaron informes de sustentabilidad en el modelo GRI-G3, del año 2010, considerándose aún los datos de 2009. Fueron analizados los indicadores económicos ROA, ROE, ROS y ROM (Q de Tobin) extraídos de las demostraciones financieras de 2009 y 2010. El desempeño ambiental fue representado por el indicador EN30 (total general de inversiones en gastos y protección ambiental) del informe de sustentabilidad, dividido por el Activo total. Los resultados señalan la existencia de relación entre las variables analizadas año tras año, de acuerdo al país, y también utilizando el atributo de desfase temporal. Por medio del Análisis de la Correspondencia (Anacor), considerando los dos países en conjunto, la hipótesis de la investigación fue rechazada, ya que las empresas del sector secundario con alto impacto ambiental presentaron niveles bajo y medio de desempeño ambiental.
