Resumo(s)
Business, politics, social and economic policies on the last decades brought us to
inevitability of change. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a key role on this change
as it is a tool for International Business Management on a global world. The relation
between FDI and sustainability on the Sub-Saharan countries with lower income has not
yet been sufficiently studied so our proposal is to bring a few more conclusions to the
overall discussion as we intend to understand if FDI effectively affects the so-called Triple
Bottom Line (TBL) pillars of sustainability. Also, we intend to analyse the relation
between these pillars themselves as well with another variable, Population Growth. With
data obtained from the World Bank (WB), regarding 20 countries, gathered between 2010
to 2018, we analysed 34 indicators composing 11 of the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG´s). After, we group them by the TBL pillars and evaluate the
influence of FDI inflows on their scores using panel data models. Also, the influence
between the pillars themselves and variable Population Growth was studied. Our results
show a strong, positive correlation between the TBL pillars. FDI has no significant influence
on the TBL pillars, and population growth positively affects the Social pillar, affecting
negatively the Environmental pillar.
