Abstract: Sustainable Development (SD) has been progressively gaining impor- tance in the strategic actions of businesses for more than a decade. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strategic contribution of BFs (BFs) to the SD. The methodology followed consists of the analysis of the strategic orientations of major global BFs and the identification of the specific role of (local) BFs in the Abruzzo Region (Italy). The main result of the study is the observation of the areas of sustainability where BFs make their greatest contribution and the ways through which they act.
