ESG Descomplicado

Em mais de 25 anos de atuação, a CLAM Meio Ambiente vem desenvolvendo estudos, serviços e soluções ambientais, o que trouxe experiência e credibilidade necessárias para apoiar as empresas na implantação de práticas e projetos sustentáveis. E ESG, o que tem a ver com isto?

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 enxerga a sustentabilidade no viés dos riscos para o negócio e no retorno para o investidor, e também engloba a forma que mercado analisa e toma decisões de investimento, com base numa gama maior de informações, selecionando ativos com boa performance nos quesitos ambiental, social e de governança. Não basta mais analisar somente lucro, receita e custos. 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.
