sions of sustainability, which confirms the propensity of these studies to a sustainable
bias.
It should be noted that 10 of the 15 surveyed publications in periodicals have
taken place in journals that are specialized in environmental sustainability research,
which helps to explain such prominence.
4.2.2 Large Research Areas
The collected publications were carried out in 7 different areas of knowledge, demonstrating a plurality of approaches, which corroborates the relevance in carrying out
studies aimed at understanding the ways in which the researchers related two such
urgent themes to contemporaneity.
As shown in Fig. 4, the Environmental Management area overlapped the others,
indicating that, despite sustainability, at the corporate level, cares about the social
and economic dimensions, at least, among the studies investigated, concerns in the
ecological dimension prevail.
It should be noted that other areas have sought to contribute to the debate about
corporate sustainability through decision-making processes. Of particular note are
the Administration and Production Engineering, responsible for undertaking 4 and
3 studies, respectively.
4.2.3 Relationship Between Themes
All the articles reviewed jointly addressed the two subjects of this investigation.
However, the analysis of practiced content has identified 5 ways in which the papers
