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, a specialist in Sustainability and Impact Assessment, to give a lecture on "The Role of Accountants in ESG." The event is part of the Quinta Contábil project and will be broadcast on April 3rd (Thursday) at 5 p.m. byCRC-PA channel on YouTube.
According to Luciane, ESG has ceased to be a differentiator and has become an essential requirement for companies' competitiveness. In her lecture, the specialist will discuss how companies can initiate an ESG strategy to meet market demands.
Another topic to be addressed at the event is CVM Resolution No. 193/2023, which establishes the regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission that, starting in 2026, publicly traded companies will be required to publish financial reports demonstrating sustainability actions, such as IFRS, S1, and S2.
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 the company's financial health and its attractiveness to investors. In this sense, the accountant plays a fundamental role, as this professional is responsible for analyzing and interpreting financial and non-financial data, as well as communicating the results to stakeholders. They are an important agent in corporate governance, and their work provides transparency, credibility, and regulatory compliance," he concludes.
The webinar will be moderated by the accountant, Master in Accounting, and coordinator of the CRC-PA ESG Committee, Júnior Vaillant. The participation is free and open to the public.
ESG checklist
Aiming to assist small and medium-sized enterprises 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 provide our students and consultants with a clear and objective methodology of what needs to be done at each stage of the ESG implementation process in companies," he highlights.
