Práticas ambientais sociais e de governança (ESG) na perspectiva da produção animal

Abstract

The acronym ESG has been widely discussed in the production sector these days, and it could not be any different in animal production. Environmental, Social and Governance is an approach that assesses how a corporation encompasses environmental, social and governance aspects in its production. It is well known that the world's population prefers products made from sustainably sourced raw materials. Studies show that there are many ways to produce animals that respect these ESG aspects. Therefore, in this final course work, we present a bibliographic review that elucidates the reasons and advantages of ESG practices in animal production, how they are being applied in Brazil, and the results that these ESG practices can bring to producers who apply them. The implementation of ESG practices in animal production is not only a response to external pressures, but also an opportunity for innovation and leadership in the sector. Companies that adopt a comprehensive ESG approach can improve their image in society, increase operational efficiency and ensure long-term sustainability, aligning themselves with the expectations of modern consumers and investors.
