Workshop Towards Sustainable Transformation

AIDA CCI, in partnership with TICE.PT and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), is organizing an in-person event on January 16, 2025, at 4:00 PM, in the AIDA CCI Noble Hall.

We invite all SMEs to participate in this unmissable event on ESG criteria. The ESG Guidelines (Environmental, Social, and Governance Guidelines) are fundamental tools to help companies align their operations with sustainable and responsible practices. During the event, it will be addressed how these guidelines can strengthen organizational resilience and create long-term value, highlighting the importance of sustainability-oriented business management.

What are ESG Criteria?

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria refer to business practices that integrate environmental, social, and governance concerns into decision-making processes. The environmental criterion assesses how the company manages its impacts on the environment, including carbon emission reduction, waste management, and energy efficiency. The social criterion considers relationships with employees, communities, and customers, promoting inclusion, diversity, and adequate working conditions. The governance criterion evaluates transparency and ethics in operations, including leadership structure and anti-corruption policies.

The implementation of these criteria is not only a growing regulatory requirement but also an opportunity for companies to stand out in the market and meet the expectations of consumers, investors, and business partners. Companies that adopt robust ESG practices can attract more investment, build a solid reputation, and actively contribute to a more sustainable future.
