https://doi.org/10.18616/rdsd.v6i1.5722Abstract
Repensar a economia sob o enfoque do ecodesenvolvimento é um desafio por meio das ecossocioeconomias, ou seja, uma outra economia. Entre as experiências existentes, destaca-se o movimento Empresas B que atende uma demanda de consumidores e investidores cada vez mais exigentes e conscientes quando correlacionam a questão ambiental e o impacto no consumo, sob o slogan “não ser a melhor empresa do mundo, mas a melhor para o mundo”. O objetivo da pesquisa é identificar diferentes formas com as quais uma B-Corp pode beneficiar o meio ambiente e a comunidade local. Para isso foi realizado uma pesquisa exploratória na qual se utilizou levantamento bibliográfico, pesquisa documental e entrevista estruturada sobre a experiência do Hotel Evergreen Lodge Yosemite. As empresas B constituem um movimento pragmático de transitoriedade paradigmático entre economias que por um lado possui uma racionalidade de ganhos econômicos de curto prazo, no entanto com prejuízos socioambientais de longo prazo, e por outro lado, uma nova economia, que concilia ganhos ecossocioeconômicos, ainda em construção, no sentido que as experiências estão em curso. São exemplos de como é possível conduzir a gestão de uma empresa de forma economicamente responsável, defendendo princípios de ética social e ambiental em relação ao desenvolvimento local, entendido como comunitário, e suas imbricações com os demais espaços.

ABSTRACT
Rethinking the economy from the perspective of ecodevelopment is a challenge through ecosystems and economies, that is, another economy. Among the existing experiences, the Companies B movement stands out, which meets an increasingly demanding and conscious consumer and investor demand when correlating the environmental issue and the impact on consumption, under the slogan “not being the best company in the world, but the best for the world”. The purpose of the research is to identify different ways in which a B-Corp can benefit the environment and the local community. For this, a methodology with a qualitative and exploratory approach was used, in which the bibliographic survey, the documentary research and the structured interview about the experience of the Hotel Evergreen Lodge Yosemite were used as technical procedures. Companies B constitute a pragmatic movement of paradigmatic transience between economies that on the one hand have a rationality of short-term economic gains, however with long-term socio-environmental losses, and on the other hand, a new economy, which reconciles ecosystem-economic gains, under construction, in the sense that the experiments are ongoing. Examples of how it is possible to conduct the management of a company in an economically responsible manner, defending principles of social and environmental ethics in relation to local development, understood as community, and its overlap with other spaces.
