(2018) and regarding to the characteristics of business models, it was be based on studies by Boons and Lüdeke-Freund (2013), Kiron et al., (2013a) and Taran; Boer; Lindgren (2015). This work has academic, theoretical and practical relevance as it has an integrated approach, which seeks to include new sustainable practices with the aim of innovating the business model and creating sustainable value for industrial companies. To this end, the study has a descriptive approach, quantitative nature and was operationalized through a survey. The sample selected for the investigation was defined based on the Ecoinovar research group's contact database, made up of 14,031 Brazilian industrial companies, which belong to a varied range of sectors. All companies subject to the study were contacted, and the sample consisted of companies that actually received, responded to and returned the duly completed questionnaires. The results pointed to a positive and significant effect between innovation practices aimed at sustainability and sustainable business models.
