Uma análise dos impactos da preocupação com a sustentabilidade em empresas brasileiras presentes na “A LIST” da CDP

Abstract

Being recognized as a sustainable company brings credibility to the company and attracts investors. In Industry 4.0, one of the essential factors is the inclusion of actions that involve concern for sustainability, currently known as ESG, by companies worldwide. Initiatives such as CDP, which evaluate the performance of companies in favor of not only environmental characteristics, but also social and governance characteristics, are increasingly common throughout the world. The organization prepares the “A List”, which evaluates companies that stand out in controlling climate change, protecting forests and water resources. Through a bibliographic analysis, this article highlights Brazilian companies that achieved an “A” grade in one or more criteria on CDP’s “A List” and what characteristics led these companies to achieve this international prominence.
