Sustentabilidad Corporativa, Desconexión Territorial, Sistema Socioecológico Industrial, Gobernanza Ambiental, Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)Resumen
La sustentabilidad corporativa (SC) se ha abordado predominantemente desde enfoques centrados en la organización, con atención limitada a las condiciones territoriales que determinan su efectividad. Este estudio analiza la SC desde una perspectiva territorial en el complejo industrial Ciudad Industrial del Valle de Cuernavaca (CIVAC), Morelos, México, con el objetivo de examinar la relación entre prácticas ideales, prácticas empresariales y condiciones socioambientales, así como su pertinencia frente a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Se adopta un enfoque cualitativo-analítico basado en triangulación documental en tres niveles. Se introduce el concepto de sistema socioecológico industrial como unidad de análisis y el de desconexión territorial como categoría explicativa de la brecha entre desempeño organizacional y efectividad ambiental. Los resultados evidencian tensiones estructurales en los componentes ambientales, reflejadas en la coexistencia de instrumentos de gestión con condiciones de deterioro sostenido. Se concluye que la SC en contextos industriales urbanos opera principalmente desde lógicas organizacionales internas, con débil articulación territorial, lo que limita su contribución a los ODS 6, 12 y 13 y cuestiona la efectividad de los marcos regulatorios y de gobernanza ambiental.
