Abstract

In the current context of impacts caused by human development, companies must create mechanisms and methods for evaluating sustainability to operationalize the concept of sustainable development. This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the sustainability of a financial institution operating in the Brazilian Legal Amazon region through a case study, applying the sustainability measurement methodologies "Global Reporting Initiative" [GRI] and the Organizational Sustainability Indicators Assessment Method [MAIS], in addition to document analysis. The sustainability assessment showed that the institution is sustainable in the social, economic, and environmental dimensions, but needs to improve in aspects related to the cultural dimension.
