What is ESG?
ESG comes from the English Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance, which in Portuguese refers to the Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance pillars, which until then was referred to as Sustainability, broadening the understanding and extension of practices, mainly encompassing the production chain. Transparency plays a fundamental role within ESG, especially in the governance pillar. Companies that adopt clear and responsible practices in rendering accounts, fighting corruption and communicating with stakeholders strengthen their reputation and gain greater trust from investors, consumers and society.
