Deforestation advances. Weather extremes cause more and more tragedies. Changing habits to control temperatures on the planet now means our survival.

Embracing environmental projects and adopting good sustainability practices in your corporation avoids losses, generates profits, builds customer loyalty and attracts investors. But organizations must understand that as important as acting correctly is publicizing their acts and actions to society.

Social and environmental responsibility is related to a corporation’s commitment to the community and the environment, and goes beyond legal and economic obligations.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has become an important communication item for companies. It exposes the positive and negative sustainability impacts that can influence the organization’s policy, strategies and operations, measuring and reporting organizational performance to stakeholders.

The analyzes must evidence the activities adopted by the company to prove its commitment to environmental issues, such as:

Resource management and pollution prevention;
Reduction of emissions and climate impact;
Environmental disclosures.

To expand the scope of Corporate Social Responsibility of companies, NTICS analysts also include quantitative data in their reports, such as:

What is the company’s exposure to future carbon regulation?
What actions is the company taking to minimize climate risk?
Where does the water consumed come from?
Is there an opportunity in the market to introduce a new product or service addressing an environmental problem or need?

Qualitative data are also listed to increase the company’s credibility. It is crucial to clarify:

Detailing of energy and carbon costs;
Research and development (R&D) and facilities and equipment to reduce energy use;
Percentage of renewable energy to energy consumed or generated;
Annual historical direct and indirect emissions;
Volume of water consumed by the company annually;
Water Footprint;
Equipment for recycling water;
Inputs from certified forest and marine products;
Number of production or extraction sites close to biodiversity hotspots and protected areas.

AWARENESS ABOUT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AS A PILLAR FOR SUSTAINABILITY

There are several and relevant pillars in building a more sustainable planet, among them, we need to look head-on at energy efficiency, which means generating the same amount of energy with fewer natural resources or obtaining the same service ("performing work") with less energy, is one of the Sustainable Development Goals and has its goals so that it can guarantee universal access to sustainable sources and affordable prices and thus successfully guarantee the demand that is increasingly increasing on the planet.
