Abstract: Initiatives that are being promoted to achieve a more sustainable development through different international organizations have proposed a set of rules for governments, companies and society to incorporate in their regulations, work systems and conditions and lifestyles. This paper aims to determine the degree of relationship that management systems of companies of the metal working sector of the central region of the state of Coahuila in Mexico have with those rules. These rules try to strengthen a more sustainable practice. The methodology used to obtain quantitative information was a structured questionnaire applied to 35 companies of this sector. We analyzed the data using SPSS statistical software utilizing Cross Tabs and Spearman Correlation Coefficient. The most relevant results are that, with a confidence level of 93%, there is a positive correlation of 0.691 between management practices and norms applied in large companies, but not in small business
