This study aims at analyzing the interactions between legal regulation (as a way of State performance that emphasizes the induction of behaviors), the companies’ social responsibility (as a movement that proposes the discussion of the companies’ current role, and development of self-regulatory instruments of the market aimed at changing the present production and consumption model) and the city as the first space of civic belonging and, therefore, as a privileged place for the integration between public policies and initiatives by the society and the market towards a more sustainable society.
