Over the course of more than 25 years of operation, CLAM Meio Ambiente has been developing environmental studies, services, and solutions, which have brought the necessary experience and credibility to support companies in implementing sustainable practices and projects. And what does ESG have to do with this?
This acronym is increasingly appearing in the media. It relates to corporate practices related to the environment (E: Environment), the company's responsibility and impact on various stakeholders and communities (S: Social), and the ethics and structure created to effectively support the other two letters of the acronym (G: Governance).E: Environment), à responsabilidade e impactos da empresa nos diversos públicos e comunidades (S: Social) e à ética e estrutura criada para suportar de forma eficaz as duas outras letras da sigla (G: Governance).
ESG and sustainability are not the same thing, but they "converse with each other." ESG views sustainability from the perspective of business risks and returns for investors. ESG refers to how the market analyzes and makes investment decisions based on a broader range of information, selecting assets with good performance in environmental, social, and governance aspects. It is no longer enough to analyze only profit, revenue, and costs. ESG is not a label, but a process, a journey that requires time and investment.
In other words, ESG and sustainability address environmental and social aspects, but while sustainability integrates a complex and systemic view with strategies and practices that go far beyond addressing and mitigating environmental impacts, ESG defines criteria to qualify investment opportunities.
Therefore, it can be concluded that sustainability is essential for ESG criteria to be attractive and favorable to investors. Companies need to meet these criteria to ensure the sustainability of their business within the financial sector. CLAM clearly understands the needs of companies in this process, which involves many intersections between sustainability and ESG. If you have any doubts about taking such an important step, talk to those who truly understand the subject.
