Although the studies that correlate the economy with environmental impacts began in the second half of the twentieth century, it was only in the 2000s that the subject left the field of literature and became part of the discussions that pointed to an awareness of the relevant action of the means of production and their consumption practices as harmful to nature. This trend also came into effect with regard to society, giving rise to a vision that would corroborate the union of economic, social, and environmental dimensions in the productive context. Assessing and considering the impacts that industries cause has become a relevant factor in decision making, causing an evolutionary process in the scope of Corporate Governance, sustainable actions, and innovation processes, positively influencing market practices. This new way of thinking and relating to the environment and society has moved not only the business sectors, but also the organs and institutions that guide them. The theme sustainability has become widely used in global debates, uniting the organizational universe with entities that aim at environmental preservation, in the search for strategies and production conducts that seek the preservation of natural resources and with fairness of values among the interested parties. Corporate Social Responsibility integrates theories and trends such as those seen in the creation of value, stakeholders, ethics, and the need to apply sustainable business development and growth, thus encompassing the Triple Bottom Line. It is clearly visible that some production processes have reached their natural resource use limit and need to be replaced by a path of Innovation. The establishment of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include the human, environmental, and corporate dimensions, is one of the main drivers of sustainable practices adopted by industries. Among the SDGs, the number 9 stands out for this study, which orders on the need to build resilient infrastructures, rehabilitating industries with increased efficiency in the use of renewable resources and use of clean industrial technologies and processes, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, in addition to fostering innovation, strengthening scientific research, and improving technological capabilities, especially in developing countries. Since 2006, the B3 ISE portfolio has made an annual selection of the companies that present the best sustainable practices. Thus, the following research questions were defined: What is the evolution of governance models for corporate sustainability of industries present on the ISE? How governance for sustainability of industries on the ISE B3 relate to the perspective of industrial ecology? The methodological perspective was adopted to conduct the study with the research question for the description of observed phenomena and discussions about. Three complementary research strategies were adopted for conducting the data collection and analysis work, wich are frequency analysis, coding and categorization. The discussions arising from the data analysis assessments related to word frequency and categorical analysis.
