Abstract: An ancient paradigm considered people as simple production factors. Nowadays, we know that human capital is fundamental for business success, and the challenge of attracting and retaining talents in competitive markets encourage companies to search for elements to differentiate themselves from competitors. Another paradigm says that the company's responsibility towards society is to limit themselves into producing a profit. Advances in debates about sustainability and ethics made us comprehend that companies cannot ignore that they have an important part in the matter that extrapolates operation limits. But how do sustainability and ethics contribute to attract and retain talents? Through this revision of literature and data from researches done with Brazilian companies, this essay intends to evaluate sustainable practices and how can they interfere in attraction capacity and retention of talents.
