Expanding the Concept of ESG: Positive Impacts Beyond the Conventional

João Paulo Tavares, Presales Director Latam at Semantix, suggests a broader approach to the ESG theme, exploring actions that can generate positive impacts on society, beyond traditional topics such as carbon emissions, clean energy, and recycling. In this article, we present three areas where lesser-discussed ESG initiatives can be equally significant for building a more sustainable future.

Family Farming: Driving Sustainable Development

Family farming plays a crucial role in food production in Brazil. Data from IBGE indicates that 70% of the food consumed in the country comes from this sector. Investing in family farming can generate significant social and economic impact, improving the quality of life for millions of people and driving sustainable development by promoting food security, job creation, and biodiversity preservation.

Financial Education and Digital Inclusion: Promoting Social Equality

To address the challenges of the educational sector in Brazil, it is essential to integrate financial education, technology, and sustainability into school curricula. Furthermore, access to technology and quality internet remains a challenge in many areas of the country, especially in rural regions and low-income communities. Investing in digital inclusion projects, technological infrastructure, and data can contribute to the economic and social development of these areas and reduce inequalities.
