Abstract

This chapter presents a descriptive study of practices and indicators related to social and environmental management of business incubators in the state of São Paulo. We analyze how sustainability is taken into consideration in managerial decisions and in daily actions, as well as the adoption of social and environmental indicators. The research is based on both quantitative and qualitative approaches. We selected managers from 37 incubators, to whom we sent questionnaires and also interviewed them. Our results indicate that, despite being aware of the importance of adopting sustainability practices and indicators, incubators are far from sustainable. None has social or environmental certifications, and all managerial planning is still based only on financial indicators. Therefore, our study demonstrates that there is a great potential to be explored, regarding social and environmental management in incubators.
