- Abstract
The mining activity is essential in the economic context. However, there are several potential impacts caused by this activity, from the environmental and social perspective. In this regard, it is worth noting the relationship of this industry with the management of water use, a strategic resource for the business activity. This study aims to identify the relationship between the management of water use and the business performance in industries in the Brazilian mining sector. To that end, we conducted a survey with managers from industries in the sector. The results of the survey lead to the acceptance of the central hypothesis of the study, where there is a positive relationship between the management of water use and business performance, corroborating the significant importance of this resource to the competitiveness of industries in the mining sector.
