This climate is related to adverse environmental occurrence of certain events that make today's business environment much more volatile than in one relative closer past, in historical terms, namely: globalization, the advent of a new paradigm in energy and environmental the rapid technological development, deregulation of economies and fierce competition in global markets. It becomes increasingly difficult to insert within the enterprise context a setting in which the uncertainty is the key attribute. Therefore, the modern company needs more of a strategic support that it makes possible the surrounding turbulent activity and enables it to achieve high levels of technological capability. As a direct result of this process there would have an increased productivity with a consequent increasing organizational competitiveness.

It highlighted the awareness that companies need to take their social responsibility, which far exceed the mere employment generation, having an impact on their goals and their own strategies. On the other hand, the issue of social responsibility brings their impacts on organizations, in terms of image and differentiation. However, companies find themselves involved with the issue of sustainability. Set up practices, tools and settings targeted to promote sustainable enterprises. Thus, it falls to Quality as a proposal to meet the changing needs and tasks of modern organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
