O papel da responsabilidade social na garantia da acessibilidade: uma análise no Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas da UFRN

Abstract

The discussion on social responsibility began in a business context in which organizations started to recognize the need to demonstrate economic, environmental, and social responsibility due to the demand for greater economic development and the pressure from stakeholders to ensure equal opportunities for all people. From this point, the debate gained increasing prominence in academic circles, particularly from an inclusive perspective. In this regard, the present research aims to investigate the initiatives and impact of the social responsibility exercised by the CCSA at UFRN in ensuring accessibility and reducing social inequalities. To achieve this objective, a documentary research was conducted, analyzing management reports from UFRN’s Office of Accessibility and Inclusion, UFRN’s accessibility plan, and UFRN’s inclusion and accessibility policy. The results indicate that between the years 2019 and 2024, there were advances and opportunities, but challenges remain to be addressed.
