Resumen

Este estudio explora la siguiente pregunta teórica de investigación: ¿cómo la ética en los negocios puede ayudar a reformular las estrategias de sostenibilidad corporativa? La contribución de este artículo a la teoría de la sostenibilidad corporativa (SC) es interconectar conceptos y modelos de campos de pensamiento dispares, abordar las brechas de percepción que pueden perjudicar el desarrollo de estrategias de SC. El principal resultado de este artículo es un marco teórico integral y articulado que vincula el nivel social de la sostenibilidad con la dimensión organizacional de la SC y la dimensión individual de la orientación moral de los gestores. El marco teórico refuerza la percepción de que la ética empresarial orientada normativamente, cuando se apoya en una cultura organizacional que permite revertir la ceguera ética, puede mejorar los resultados de la SC.
