Resumo
Cada vez mais as organizações se preocupam com a Responsabilidade Social e
articulam a sua atuação para se comprometerem com os seus stakeholders (partes interessadas)
nas dimensões económica, social e ambiental. Este tipo de estudo está ainda pouco explorado
em países menos desenvolvidos, sendo escassos ou inexistentes os estudos aplicados a
economias africanas, em particular ao caso de Angola.
Colocou-se como objetivos principais, compreender como é implementada a RSE nas
empresas de Luanda – Angola; identificar fatores que contribuem para a melhoria económica,
social e ambiental das empresas de Luanda – Angola.
De um modo geral, a Responsabilidade Social Empresarial é um relacionamento ético
entre a empresa e todos os seus grupos de interesse que acabam, deste modo, por serem
interdependentes, integrando nas suas práticas o respeito pelo meio ambiente e o investimento
em ações sociais. Como sabemos, a empresa está inserida na sociedade, logo, é importante que
as suas ações, além de garantirem o cumprimento dos seus objetivos internos, devem fomentar
benefícios para a sociedade em geral. Atualmente a imagem que uma organização transmite ao
mercado está intimamente ligada ao seu sucesso junto de todos os stakeholders.
Esta investigação utilizará predominantemente uma metodologia do tipo quantitativa
assente na recolha e análise bibliográfica e documental, constituindo, portanto, um estudo
interpretativo fruto de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, em conjunto com um estudo de
campo com empresas de Luanda – Angola.
Este estudo aplica um modelo já testado para compreender a RSE das empresas e que
impacto e consequências tem nas questões sociais, económicas e ambientais das mesmas.
Os resultados mostram que em Angola as empresas atuam positivamente em termos
de RSE, sendo que, através do nosso estudo, foi demonstrado que indicadores como por
exemplo a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores e o comprometimento em reduzir a
emissão de gases e resíduos e da reciclagem de materiais estão presentes nas suas estratégias
para, assim, melhorar a sua relação e comprometimento com a comunidade envolvente.
Increasingly, organizations are concerned with Social Responsibility and articulate their actions to engage with their stakeholders in the economic, social and environmental dimensions. This type of study is still under-explored in less developed countries, with little or no studies applied to African economies, particularly in the case of Angola. Specific objectives were to understand how RSE is implemented in companies in Luanda - Angola; identify factors that contribute to the economic, social and environmental improvement of companies in Luanda - Angola. In general, Corporate Social Responsibility is an ethical relationship between the company and all its interest groups that end up being interdependent, integrating in their practices respect for the environment and investment in social actions. As we know, the company is part of society, so it is important that their actions, in addition to ensuring the fulfillment of their internal goals, should foster benefits for society in general. Currently the image that an organization conveys to the market is closely linked to its success with all stakeholders. This research will predominantly use a qualitative and quantitative methodology based on bibliographical and documentary collection and analysis, thus constituting an interpretative study resulting from a narrative bibliographical review, together with a field study with companies from Luanda - Angola. This study applies an already tested model to understand corporate CSR and what impact and consequences it has on social, economic and environmental issues. The results show that in Angola the companies act positively in terms of CSR, and, through our study, it was demonstrated that indicators such as the improvement of workers' quality of life and the commitment to reduce the emission of gases and waste and recycling materials are present in their strategies to improve their relationship and commitment to the surrounding community.
