  ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of empirical research conducted among 59 major Brazilian companies to verify whether the environmental management practices -one of the foundations of Sustainability the model TBL (Triple Bottom Line) -may influence the commercial success in competitive international market. The sample used consisted of Brazilian companies, most of them internationalized, and therefore it can be seen that the results reflects a reality that goes beyond the borders. Using a structural equation modeling technique it was possible to conclude that corporate environmental management integrated with R & D and marketing promotion provides an important link with export performance. Beyond these considerations, important discoveries in relation to other characteristics that may influence the competitiveness are also treated, as lack of support from senior management, the existence of a very low awareness about the importance of sustainability and also the existence of weak sustainability communication with internal and external stakeholders. The paper concludes with some recommendations for future research and for professionals.
