Uma Análise dos relatórios de sustentabilidade das empresas JBS e BRF nos anos de 2015 a 2017

Abstract

This article aims to present the information disclosed by the sustainability reports of BRF and JBS from 2015 to 2017. The sustainability report consists of a communication tool between companies and society, regarding the aspects of social, economic and environmental performance. The approach of this study contemplates the indicators evidenced by the companies in order to analyze their evolution over time; it is observed that the approach of sustainability in the corporate environment provides several advantages and possibilities for the organization. In view of this, the research seeks to conceptualize the relevance of corporate sustainability, as well as to present the existing reports on sustainability. For this, a bibliographic research was carried out, followed by a documentary analysis of secondary data through BRF’s and JBS’s sustainability reports, in particular the report of the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative). The research is configured as documentary, descriptive and bibliographical. The results point to a lack of environmental, social, and economic information on the part of companies. However, due to the fact that the companies belong to the same business segment, some indicators do not have a very expressive temporal evolution.
