Abstract: Sustainability and in particular, environmental concerns have become increasingly prevalent in recent
years, largely due to the visible effects of climate change. This global awareness has prompted a search for
alternatives that allow us to move towards a more sustainable economy, influencing political and economic
decision-making in all sectors. The United Nations published the 2030 Agenda in 2015, outlining 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) to address global sustainability challenges. At a local level, Catalonia has also
developed its own strategies focused on sustainable economic transformation aligned with the SDGs and the
European Green Deal, including for example, strategies related to the bioeconomy, energy efficiency and
circular economy.
The aim of this study is to examine the current sustainability practices of major companies in Tarragona
province, identifying the actions they take and certifications they have in the area of sustainability.
This work contributes to a better understanding of the current situation regarding business and
economic sustainability in the province of Tarragona, by identifying opportunities for investment and growth in
areas related to economic and sustainable development.
