This article presents an adaptation of the five dimensions of sustainability adopted by Sachs (1993) to theorganizational structure applied to business. With regards to the social dimension, the ethics toward employeesand the community is emphasized; in the economic dimension, the financial foundation necessary to allow forbusiness continuity is considered; the ecological dimension, in turn, focuses in the balanced integration of thebusiness in the ecosystem; the spatial dimension indicates the rational use of available natural resources; andfinally, the cultural dimension, seeks the enhancement of intellectual capital of organizations. Based on this theoretical foundation and application of the concepts of Cleaner Production (CP); Design for Environment (DFE) forproducts; Extended Product Responsibility (EPR); Reverse logistics; and Zero Emissions Research Initiative (ZERI),a possible sequence of stages geared to the development of sustainable strategies in supply chains is proposed,namely: a) legal compliance: full compliance with the law; b) regulatory compliance: compliance with existingtechnical standards; c) Risk, Efficiency and Productivity Management: in order to reduce risks, costs and waste;d) Sustainable Business: structuring the complete production chain based on transparency
