The business environment has presented constant challenges to organizations leaders. In this context, permanent surveillance, reflecting the search for competitiveness and productivity, causes them turn attention to factors or actions antecedents and consequences of corporate social and environmental responsibility dimension (RSAC). The paper analyzes and estimates the intensity of the relations between the factors of brand value, reputation sense of the company concerned (stakeholders) and perspective to generate external risks, all of them such as satellites explaining the RSAC. And, in addition to tests of goodness of fit to the relational model, also was proposed an equation to measure the degree (or index) of maturity in Environmental Responsibility Corporate Sector (RSACS), attempting to analyze and identify in what stage the RSACS constructs affects the final performance as strategic for organizations. This research was performed in the construction of Minas Gerais, represented by their managers adopti a survey method using a structured questionnaires with questions based on likert variations. The data collected were evaluated by analysis of structural equations using LVPLS. To measure the shares in Environmental Responsibility, we used known models in organizations and academia, such as the Corporate Sustainability Index, the Dow Jones Indexes, the index of the Ethos Institute and the representation theory of Hopkins (1997).
