DOI: 10.5902/198346595252 Global climate change has emerged as the most important issue of sustainability, since it will negatively affect most biological systems, access to water, the economy and therefore have been of concern to society. The industry response to climate change are quite diverse, with emphasis on economic behavior and political-institutional. At first, the answers emphasize the macro-environment, the microenvironment and internal environment. And the second is to propose new rules for the formation of public-private partnerships such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), between 2005 and 2009 for the Low Carbon Economy. It was used for construction of secondary data from literature and reports available on the CDP website. The results point to the evolution of the responses of Brazilian companies participating in the CDP, especially in three performance levels: the macro-environment, the microenvironment and internal environment of organizations. However, the responses are concentrated in the service in the internal environment in which organizations are embedded and linked to environmental performance indicators and GHG emissions.
