Avaliação de indústrias da região metropolitana de Fortaleza com a certificação ESG-FIEC

Abstract

ESG in industry is a topic that is gaining more and more relevance in the current scenario, as it involves the integration of environmental, social and governance criteria into the corporate strategy of industrial companies. The objective of this work was to discuss the results achieved by industries in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza, which obtained the ESG-FIEC Certificate that was launched at the beginning of 2023, which aims to promote effective gains in innovation and competitiveness, enhancing the positioning of Ceará's industries in the national and international context. To this end, a bibliographical review was carried out on the concepts and practices of ESG in the industry, as well as a survey with the companies BSPAR, IntraPlast and Alimempro, who responded to a questionnaire about the main positive aspects and challenges in implementing ESG and in the process to obtain the certificate. It was possible to identify a certain pattern in the companies where they all had a sustainable bias in their business pillars and visions, as well as the challenges faced by the companies, where the environmental aspect was the most difficult to be met and the social aspect was the easiest as all companies interviewed already practiced and met most of the indicators.
