Leax Brazil Receives the ESG Seal: The Certification that Demonstrates Our Commitment to Sustainability and Responsible Governance

The ESG Seal, which represents the pillars of Environmental, Social, and Governance, serves as an indicator that helps consumers, investors, and business partners identify organizations committed to sustainability. This certification was formally presented to Leax during a ceremony held on December 12 at the SENAI Botanical Garden headquarters, where Quality Coordinator Vagner Paula and Human Resources Coordinator Keila Seifert accepted the recognition on behalf of the company. What is the ESG Seal?

ESG stands for “Environmental, Social, and Governance.” These three pillars are essential for assessing companies’ responsibility and commitment to sustainability. The growing importance of the ESG Seal is reflected in the appreciation of companies that demonstrate active engagement in practices promoting a more sustainable future.

Environmental (E – Environmental): This aspect addresses the impact of the company’s activities on the environment. Factors such as greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, the use of renewable energies, and actions to mitigate climate change are crucial. Companies committed to responsible environmental practices seek to minimize their ecological footprint and adopt technologies that promote sustainability.

Social (S – Social): The social dimension focuses on the company’s relationships with its employees, customers, and local communities. It includes the promotion of human rights, diversity and inclusion in the workplace, as well as respect for labor laws. In this digital age, transparency and respect for data privacy, as stipulated by the LGPD (General Data Protection Law), also become essential.

Governance (G – Governance): Governance refers to internal processes and business ethics. Aspects such as the formation of committees, board independence, fair executive compensation, and transparent relationships with government entities are fundamental. Good governance ensures that the company operates with integrity and responsibility, building trust with investors and consumers.

The Origin and Growth of the ESG Concept

The ESG concept gained prominence in the early 2000s when the World Bank, in partnership with the UN Global Compact, published the report “Who Cares Wins,” advocating the integration of environmental, social, and governance factors in the financial market. Since then, the idea that commitment to responsible practices can generate not only social and environmental benefits but also positive financial results has spread widely.

The relevance of the ESG Seal in the current scenario arises from the growing need for consumers and investors to connect with brands that share their values. Studies indicate that a significant percentage of investors, especially millennials, prioritize companies that demonstrate a genuine commitment to sustainability and social justice. This means that, for companies like Leax Brazil, adopting and promoting ESG practices is not just a market differentiator but a strategic imperative that impacts brand image and its ability to attract investments.
