In past times, an accident which had caused environmental damages could be unseen. The child work or massive demissions did not fill many space in the media or in the popular mind. It means that, questions that long ago did not conect with the decision-making process and were irrelevant to the business sucess became crucial. On this panorama, concepts of social and environmental responsibility gains notoriety e consolidates itself even more. In this context this research is inserted. It is made a study of a comparative behavior, during the years of 2003, 2004 and 2005, among six major companies from the Brazil siderurgical sector, using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), with the aim to verify the social and environmental performance of the companies. It is searched what efficiency of each company in the conversion of investment capacity (input), measured by the net income or the operational result, in social and environmental benefits (outputs), measured by the internal and external social indicators. The study logics is to observe the relation between investment capacity and social and environmental benefits, in a way that the higher the benefits to a lower investment capacity, the higher will be the efficiency and, therefore, the company social and environmental performance. Besides, a top social and environmental performance is direclty associated in generate the maximum of social and environmental benefits, comparativily, given to the investment capacity of the company. The results the study show that Gerdau (top benchmark) and CSN are the best ones and Acesita is the worst in terms of social and environmental performance. Besides, the environmental investment is the variable which needs more increases / Hoje, a sociedade cobra sistematicamente uma postura ?tica e coerente por parte das empresas e de seus gestores, pois ? cada vez mais forte o sentimento de que as organiza??es est?o inseridas num contexto social que envolve seus diversos stakeholders. Em ?pocas passadas, um acidente que causasse danos ambientais poderia passar despercebido. O trabalho infantil ou demiss?es em massa ocupavam pouco espa?o na m?dia ou no ide?rio popular. Ou seja, quest?es que outrora n?o entravam no processo de decis?o e eram irrelevantes para o sucesso do neg?cio se tornaram cruciais. Neste cen?rio, conceitos de responsabilidade socioambiental ganham notoriedade e se consolidam cada vez mais. ? neste contexto que se insere esta pesquisa. Realiza-se um estudo do comportamento comparativo, nos anos de 2003, 2004 e 2005, entre seis grandes empresas do ramo de siderurgia no Brasil, utilizando An?lise Envolt?ria de Dados (DEA), com o objetivo de verificar o desempenho socioambiental das mesmas. Procura-se verificar qual a efici?ncia de cada empresa na convers?o da capacidade de investimento (input), medida pela receita ou pelo resultado operacional, em benef?cios s?cio-ambientais (outputs), medidos pelos indicadores sociais internos e externos e pelos indicadores ambientais. A l?gica do estudo ? observar a rela??o entre capacidade de investimento e benef?cios s?cio-ambientais, de forma que quanto maiores forem os benef?cios para uma menor capacidade de investimento, maior ser? a efici?ncia e, por conseguinte, o desempenho socioambiental da empresa. Logo, um desempenho socioambiental superior est? diretamente relacionado em gerar o m?ximo de benef?cios s?cio- ambientais, comparativamente falando, dado a capacidade de investimento da empresa. Os resultados do estudo mostram que a Gerdau (principal benchmark) e a CSN s?o as melhores e a Acesita a de pior desempenho s?cio-ambiental. Al?m disso, o investimento ambiental ? a vari?vel que mais precisa de incrementos
