«due diligence directive»

 




«(...) A nível da governance, alerta para a chegada da diretiva do “dever de diligência” (due diligence directive), que vai obrigar as empresas a estarem mais atentas aos critérios de ESG (sigla inglesa para ambiente, responsabilidade social e governança) ao longo da cadeia valor e nas compras que fazem aos fornecedores: “Isto já acontece em muitas marcas têxteis e vestuário no norte da Europa que exigem aos nossos fornecedores portugueses garantias de que são sustentáveis para darem garantias aos seus clientes suecos que têm uma boa performance ESG”. (...)» - tirado daqui.

Se nos é permitida a observação: no excerto, em vez de «responsabilidade social» apenas «social» ... Bem vistas as coisas, «Responsabilidade» é para todo o paradigma DESENVOLVIMENTO SOCIAL. A formulação inicial: DS=economia, ambiente, social. Hoje, como tantas vezes já o temos mostrado, porque as coisas evoluem, e para não se andar a trabalhar com conceitos em caminhos paralelos, o que faz sentido defender, ao mesmo tempo:



  E também faz sentido lembrar o INTEGRATED REPORTING ou o RELATÓRIO ÚNICO:


«Winner of the 2010 PROSE Award for Best Business, Finance, & Management Book!

"One Report" refers to an emerging trend in business taking place throughout the world where companies are going beyond separate reports for financial and nonfinancial (e.g., corporate social responsibility or sustainability) results and integrating both into a single integrated report. At the same time, they are also leveraging the Internet to provide more detailed results to all of their stakeholders and for improving their level of dialogue and engagement with them. Providing best practice examples from companies around the world, One Report shows how integrated reporting adds tremendous value to the company and all of its stakeholders, including shareholders, and also ultimately contributes to a sustainable society.

«Advancing the “S” in ESG | A primer for CFOs»

 



«Social issues are becoming a higher priority on the business agenda. This is, in part, due to increasing evidence of companies facing operational, reputational and financial losses as a result of failing to address the externalization of costs and risks to workers, communities and consumers. Moreover, there is growing recognition of inequality as a systemic risk to the resilience of business operations, value chains and business models. Key stakeholders including regulators, investors, customers and civil society are demanding transparency around how corporate strategy and practices are impacting people and profit. This primer is designed to help CFOs in starting to understand and communicate social performance as essential to their roles and responsibilities, particularly as reporting and disclosure standards develop regionally and globally».

Da Introdução:«The Circular Economy and Cities The way we make, use and dispose of products and food accounts for almost half of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and no less than 90% of both biodiversity loss and water stress1 . With demand for strategic resources such as steel, cement, aluminium, plastics, and food projected to increase 42% by 20502, it is clear that the fight against climate change (and beyond the necessity to stay within planetary boundaries) cannot be won with the current “take-make-waste” approach. The transition to a circular economy - i.e. a model of production and consumption based on closed material loops and substantial decoupling between resource consumption and economic growth - would significantly reduce resource demand and its impacts, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
