ESG no setor dos transportes: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Environmental protection is crucial in the face of the challenges of climate change, pollution, deforestation and loss of biodiversity. Preservation of the environment is essential for current and future quality of life, as well as for the survival of species and ecosystems. The search for sustainable solutions and the conservation of natural resources are fundamental for balanced development and the maintenance of ecological balance. And effective governance is the “compass” that directs organizations towards a sustainable future, becoming the “backbone” in building environmental, social and governance practices that not only strengthen businesses, but also leave a legacy of responsibility and resilience for future generations. The ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) topic in the logistics sector is gaining prominence due to growing concern about sustainability and social responsibility. The transport sector plays a crucial role in addressing environmental, social and governance concerns as the world faces the challenges of climate change, social inequality and issues of called the “ESG agenda”, reflecting a movement towards sustainable development and expanded socio-environmental responsibility. The main objective of this research is to present an overview of ESG in the logistics and transport sector, presenting its contribution to the general scenario.
