Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the profile of research and development of the environmental sustainability theme in articles published in Brazilian management journals ranked A1 to B2 by Qualis from 1992 to 2011. It makes a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on the topic in order to offer direction and strategies for future research. The results showed that there is some evidence of increased research quality and force in Brazilian environmental sustainability studies: a growth trend in the number of articles, even if concentrated in a few magazines; a plurality of emerging sub-themes, especially in recent years; increased studies undertaken by research groups rather than individual initiatives; and a balanced distribution between quantitative and qualitative articles in recent years. On the other hand, there are few authors with a history of relevant research, and a limited number of international and national authors who stand out as the most cited and published.
