Resumo

There is an increasing demand from society for more responsibility, transparence, accountability, and social and environmental sustainability from organizations. Organizations are responding to this demands by providing social services and empowering communities. Accordingly, some organizations engaged in energy projects, especially in renewable energies, are addressing social justice while planning, developing and implementing their projects, engaging the communities in promoting awareness to them. Therefore, this paper aims to explore how energy justice, as a source of social responsibility, is approached in practice. In order to do so, a literature review on energy justice and social responsibility was developed, followed by a review of the case of a community park developed and maintained by a power generation company. According to the literature, studies on energy justice is increasing in quantity and relevance, showing the increasing importance of this subject. Thus, the case study approach may be an interesting way of understanding its application in organizations’ activities and projects.
