Deforestation advances. Climate 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 consumer loyalty, and attracts investors. But organizations must understand that as important as acting correctly is to disclose their acts and actions to society.

Social and environmental responsibility is related to the commitment that a corporation has 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 an organization's policy, strategies, and operations, measuring and accounting to stakeholders for organizational performance.

The analyses must show the activities adopted by the company to prove its commitment to environmental issues, such as

  • Resource management and pollution prevention;
  • Emission reduction and climate impact;
  • Environmental disclosures.

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

  • Breakdown of energy and carbon costs;
  • Research and development (R&D) in plant and equipment to reduce energy use;
  • Percentage of renewable energy to energy consumed or generated;
  • Historical annual direct and indirect emissions;
  • Volume of water consumed by the company annually;
  • Water footprint;
  • Equipment to recycle water;
  • Inputs of certified forest and marine products;
  • Number of production or extraction sites near biodiversity access points and protected areas.

Qualitative data is also listed to amplify the company's credibility. It is crucial to make it explicit:

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