Abstract

The models based on the “Pressure – State - Response” approach have been a widely used tool in the formulation of Public Policies in the context of environmental topics and its use has been also extended to Social and Economic spheres. This work presents, as an introduction, an adaptation of these models for its implementation in Corporations as a conceptual framework that facilitates the design of methodologies to identify and assess the corporate impact on its economic, social and environmental ambiences, as well as the actions geared to reinforce, correct, reduce or minimize such impact.
