In preparation for COP30, which will take place in Belém in November, the Regional Accounting Council of the State of Pará (CRC-PA) invited Dr. Luciane Vieira, an expert in Sustainability and Impact Assessment, to give a lecture on ‘The Accountant’s Role in ESG.’ The event is part of the Quinta Contábil project and will be broadcast on April 3 (Thursday) at 5 PM on the CRC-PA YouTube channel.
According to Luciane, ESG has moved from being a differentiator to becoming an essential requirement for business competitiveness. In her lecture, the expert will discuss how companies can start an ESG strategy to meet market demands.
Another topic to be addressed at the event is CVM Resolution No. 193/2023, which outlines the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rule requiring publicly traded companies to publish financial reports demonstrating sustainability actions, such as IFRS, S1, and S2, starting in 2026.
According to Luciane, ESG is not just an environmental or social issue, as it encompasses various areas of the economy. ‘The ESG strategy is directly linked to a company’s financial health and its attractiveness to investors. In this sense, accountants play a crucial role, as they are responsible for analyzing and interpreting financial and non-financial data, as well as communicating results to stakeholders. They are key players in corporate governance, and their work ensures transparency, credibility, and regulatory compliance,’ she adds.
The webinar will be moderated by accountant and Master in Accounting Júnior Vaillant, coordinator of the CRC-PA’s ESG Committee. Participation is free and open to the public.
ESG Checklist
To assist small and medium-sized businesses in implementing ESG, Luciane Vieira created the ESG Checklist, an e-book that provides a step-by-step guide for implementing ESG practices in companies of any sector. ‘This material was created to offer our students and consultants a clear and objective methodology for what needs to be done at each stage of ESG implementation in companies,’ she highlights.
