Resumen

Las prácticas de sostenibilidad son un reflejo de la preocupación de las compañías con su entorno ecológico, y, aunque han pasado varios años desde la primera publicación de los objetivos del milenio, muchas compañías apenas están empezando un largo proceso de implementar políticas de sostenibilidad. El presente análisis busca establecer cómo las prácticas de sostenibilidad afectan positivamente el desempeño corporativo de las organizaciones del sector manufacturero en Colombia, reconociendo, además, el importante rol de las exportaciones para mediar esta relación, en la cual la sostenibilidad tendría un doble beneficio: impacto externo y beneficio económico para la firma. Para el estudio se tomaron 1570 empresas manufactureras con prácticas de sostenibilidad relacionadas con reducción del consumo de energía, reducción en materia prima y aprovechamiento de residuos, ubicadas en diferentes subsectores industriales. Finalmente, se explican las implicaciones para la política de sostenibilidad corporativa y los posibles efectos para los sectores que tienen dificultades en implementar prácticas adecuadas de sostenibilidad.
