por NTICS | 5 de October de 2020

The last article published: “ESG: How do I start implementing it in my company?” explains the first action to start reporting sustainability indexes, which is joining the largest corporate sustainability movement in the world: the United Nations Global Compact.

To become a signatory to the Global Compact, it is necessary to look for a nearby office, through the official website of the United Nations and schedule the signing of a 2030 Agenda commitment term – which aims to achieve 17 sustainable development goals in the next 10 years.

Last week’s article explains how to start implementing and reporting sustainability: joining the Global Compact and subsequently identifying and prioritizing the Sustainable Development Goals. The second step is to explain what happens after the SDGs are chosen: to implement actions in internal and external corporate practices and for the surrounding communities.

01) Diagnosis and mapping of the main goals of the SDGs.

After prioritizing the SDGs, a survey of the main goals for each of the chosen sustainable development objectives should be made. The goals will guide the actions that must be aligned with your business strategy.

Through the UN website, it is possible to view the 17 SDGs and each of the 169 goals that make up each one of them by clicking on the respective icons.

02) Survey of actions to achieve established goals.

After selecting the goals most aligned with your business strategy, a survey is carried out by the departments of innovation, sustainability, human resources, and communication of strategies, actions, and programs for the implementation of the prioritized SDGs.

These actions must be directly linked to ESG’s environmental, social, and governance pillars. They will be followed up and monitored and then presented in an annual sustainability report, using indexes. Some examples of initiatives are: Identity, systematize and disseminate good practices and initiatives that collaborate to reach the SDGs and promote articulation with the organs and public entities of the Federation Units, for the dissemination and implementation of the SDGs at the state, district, and municipal levels.

03) Social responsibility projects.

Social responsibility projects are initiatives that generate opportunities through knowledge for the local population. They are usually financed through incentive laws or marketing budgets. The projects also aim to engage the city so that local and governmental organizations align themselves with the Sustainable Development Goals by signing the Agenda 2030 commitment term. In addition to investing in a project for the local community, the company will also be the main incentive for the legacy also extends to the contemplated cities.

Investing in a project helps to increase ESG’s social index.

04) Putting it into practice.

Now it’s time to put all of the above into practice. Start by mapping your main sustainable development objectives and thinking about actions to implement in the 03 areas: social, environmental, and governance. In the end, all practices will be reported in the annual sustainability report. A corporate transparency guide for investors and consumers.
