The term\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Environmental, Social and Governance<\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0(ESG \u2013 acronym in English) or Environmental, Social and Governance (ASG \u2013 in Portuguese) has become a way of defining whether a company's operations are socially responsible, sustainable and correctly managed. This is because the concept is used to describe how much a business seeks ways to minimize its impacts on the environment, cares about people and adopts good administrative practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With this definition, it is observed that there is more and more involvement of companies around the theme, which is no longer a social project, to become a challenge in the issue of sustainable development. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Given the importance of the topic, ABEMI's board adopted it as one of the pillars of its management. And for that, it created a specific ESG committee, which aims to disseminate principles and benefits ranging from reputation and increased company value in the market to the creation of opportunities for developing new businesses and the ability to attract and retain talent. In addition to promoting reflection on the <\/span><\/span>three pillars of sustainability<\/span><\/span>\u201c: economic, environmental and social.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

For ABEMI, the adoption of ESG parameters by its associates becomes imperative since in the future, companies that do not correctly manage their impacts will not be part of society, nor will they be in the choices of customers and investors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

ESG is a one-way street. The challenges are many, but those that incorporate the ESG parameters will add value to the business and society as a whole. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The ESG has its remote origin in the definition of sustainable development, introduced in 1987 in the report \u201cOur Common Future\u201d, of the World Commission on Environment and Development of the UN, chaired by the Prime Minister of Norway Gro Harlem Brundtland.<\/p>

The concept was popularized in 1994 by the British sociologist John Elkington, who created the term \u201cTriple Bottom Line\u201d, also known as \u201cTripod of Sustainability\u201d.<\/p>

Based on this concept, the need to include environmental and social variables in the economic perspective of business was reinforced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The term ESG was first coined in the report Who Cares Wins, Connecting Financial Markets to a Changing World, a joint initiative developed by the UN Global Compact and several financial institutions (2005).<\/p>

In this report, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan wrote to 50 directors and CEOs of the world's leading financial institutions, inviting them to integrate ESG principles into the financial market<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The years 2019 to 2021 were permeated with events that contributed to the enhancement of the ESG agenda in Brazil and in the world and to its expansion from the financial market to the corporate market.<\/p>

In 2019, the release of important reports and surveys, such as McKinsey and the International Monetary Fund - Global Financial Stability Report -, which attested to the good performance of financial assets linked to the ESG theme, turned on the lights for the theme.<\/p>

In the same year, we had very relevant social movements, which focused on the need for greater care with diversity, greater political participation and the search for the reduction of social inequalities. Ex. of movements: Black Lives Matters (USA), increase in subway fares (Chile), changes in the living conditions of the population (Argentina), electoral fraud (Bolivia), extradition law (Hong Kong) and the implementation of tariffs on WhatsApp ( Lebanon), among others.<\/p>

In 2020, the highlight was the letter from Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, one of the largest financial asset managers in the world, addressed to its clients. The message was given: CLIMATE RISK IS INVESTMENT RISK.<\/p>

Also in 2020, one cannot fail to mention the COVID-19 pandemic, which further exposed social inequalities and the impacts of climate change on people and the planet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2021, the ESG focus became even more consistent due to the release of the 16th report \u201cThe Global Risks Report\u201d by the World Economic Forum.<\/p>

This report highlights the main risks that could reshape our world in 2021 and in the next decade. It is based on a survey of nearly 700 experts and decision makers around the world, who were asked about their concerns for the next decade, how global risks interact and where opportunities exist to act collectively to mitigate these threats.<\/p>

Finally, still in 2021, one could not fail to mention the 6th report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change \u2013 IPCC, which summarizes knowledge about the physical bases of climate-related sciences, and which concluded to be a major catalyst for the ESG theme. unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, oceans and land surface, and that significant impacts will be felt on the planet in the coming years, as well as the results achieved within the framework of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change 2021 (COP26).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
