Sustainability in Organizations, Social and Solidarity Economy, Critical Success Factors, Sustainable Development GoalsAbstract
The study aimed to identify Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that guide the actions of Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) organizations, providing support for the formulation of public policies aimed at promoting sustainable development. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with an exploratory objective and a descriptive design. Data collection was carried out through a Systematic Literature Review, seeking to identify which CSFs can contribute to the promotion of organizational sustainability in SSE enterprises. The study demonstrates that the SSE can be recognized as an effective tool for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), operating within a field of economic disputes while promoting socio-environmental inclusion and the reduction of inequalities. SSE can foster a balanced relationship between individuals and nature, avoiding environmental exploitation and degradation and encouraging the responsible use of natural resources. The CSFs identified in the research are essential for guiding SSE organizations toward sustainable practices, providing a clear framework for public policy formulation. However, their implementation depends both on governmental support and on the capacity of SSE organizations themselves to innovate and adapt to technological and environmental changes.
