摘要:Purpose Brazilian companies have been implementing sustainable development strategies to reduce environmental damage. The aim of this article is to analyse the alignment of people management in relation to sustainability policies within organizations. Design / Methodology / Approach The article is a quali-quantitative study of six Brazilian international companies. Interviews have been carried out with eleven personnel managers. The sample is based on a non-random selection process for convenience. The interviews identify characteristics, actions and opinions displaying the development of expertise in the field of sustainability. Findings Results reveal that: a) programs of variable remuneration are not always linked to sustainable policies; b) the most common people management actions are remuneration, health care benefits and preventative “training” in health and safety in the workplace; c) actions related to the Quality of Life in the Workplace, such as the deterrent of “extra hours” do not exist or were found to be a relatively new strategy used by companies.
