We have used a unique database comprising CSR of Brazilian firms, IBASE, which contains CSR data for about ten years. Results show that a growing number of Brazilian companies have adopted CSR and many firms already have internal stakeholders formally involved with CSR policy definition. Such groups have influenced CSR policy. This formal inclusion of stakeholders and the growing number of firms adopting CSR could be an indication that that the Brazilian firms may be integrating CSR into their strategy. Besides, sector, and firm size also seem to interfere on CSR policy. A relevant growth in external and environmental social actions has been documented. 2014 artículo científico 1657-6276 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=64632634007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=646 Pensamiento & Gestión application/pdf Universidad del Norte Pensamiento & Gestión (Colombia) Num.37
