Análise de práticas ESG (Environmental, Social e Governance) e a formação dos futuros administradores de uma instituição de ensino superior

Abstract

This study aims to assess whether the professional profile desired by ESG companies aligns with the training of future administrators. The research was conducted in three methodological stages. Firstly, a qualitative analysis of the norms and standards adopted by ESG companies was performed, based on the ISE/B3 index, classifying the information regarding ESG contained in the reports of five companies. In the second stage, questionnaires were given to administration students at a Higher Education Institution (HEI) to verify their perception regarding ESG practices in their academic training. Finally, a content analysis of the Course Pedagogical Project (CPP) of the HEI was carried out regarding the ESG approach in the training of its students. The results indicate that companies follow norms and standards to implement ESG measures, as they seek to obtain certifications and arrange audits to ensure transparency in the disclosure of information. It was also found that the current training of students is not completely aligned with the profile required by ESG companies, suggesting that the HEI needs to adjust its CPP to better prepare future professionals to face these challenges. The main contribution of the research is to have Administration professionals who are more committed to society, being sensitive to local issues and diversity through training focused on more humanized practices.
