ESG Goals
In this fiscal year, we launched a specific portal to deal with ESG guidelines – the One-Page ESG –to expand the transparency process and the visibility of our sustainability practices. The tool also makes it possible to evolve in the scope of the Communication of our actions. Communication was the grounds for several actions, such as the corporate One-Page institutional video, presented in stakeholder meetings (Click here to see the institutional video)
Our ESG strategy has a structured policy and is guided by clear goals, which aim at the perpetuity of the business. This policy has the following principles: Value Generation, Organizational Culture, Operational Efficiency and Communication and Engagement. The policy was disclosed in May 2022 and approved by the Board of Directors. It is up to the ESG Committee to unfold these assumptions into specific policies, goals and targets.
The unfolding of these assumpns occurred in several stages and forums, namely:
- Onboarding
- Works (training and monitoring in sustainability audits)
- Critical Analysis of the Quality Management System
- Forums (Leaders Meeting, Ethics and Sustainability Week, Landfill Visit)
- ESG Research
At the same time, we put into practice a series of actions, aiming, among other points, to identify how much employees believe in the work of the ESG Committee. In this sense, it is worth mentioning the ESG Survey, which obtained a result of 8.7 of "satisfaction" of employees on the subject.
