One of the main discussions at the FMM is the adoption of ESG practices in the oil and gas sector. BNDES aims to allocate financing resources for sustainable ventures in the shipbuilding industry.

For this Wednesday, (03/05), the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) is invested in the search for sustainability in the recovery of the shipbuilding industry. The agency is studying environmental criteria for financing vessels and shipyards in the Merchant Navy Fund (FMM). The goal is to boost the growth of the sector alongside ESG criteria, which are increasingly necessary in the context of global naval sector expansion.

BNDES is evaluating environmental criteria to finance vessels intended for the oil and gas sector.

The goal is to stimulate the recovery of the country’s shipbuilding industry, a banner defended by the federal government and supported by members of the Workers’ Party in the National Congress.

The oil and gas sector is of great importance to the Brazilian economy, responsible for a significant portion of exports and jobs in the country.

However, activities related to this sector are also known to generate significant environmental impacts, such as air and water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and greenhouse gas emissions.

For this reason, the inclusion of environmental criteria in the financing of vessels for the oil and gas sector by BNDES is an important and positive measure that can contribute to reducing these impacts.

By requiring that vessels meet energy efficiency and emission reduction criteria, for example, the bank can stimulate fleet modernization and the adoption of cleaner technologies, as well as align the market with current demands.

“We note that this emerging demand has been for vessels that are more efficient in terms of fuel consumption and emission reduction,” highlights Elisa.

Moreover, the inclusion of environmental criteria can also be seen as a way to increase the competitiveness of Brazilian companies in the international market, where sustainability and social and environmental responsibility are increasingly valued.

Thus, what is expected is that BNDES continues to strive to further incorporate ESG practices into the FMM projects in the Brazilian shipbuilding industry.
