The Center for Sustainability Studies (GVces) at FGV's São Paulo School of Business Administration (EAESP) promotes this Monday, August 5, the Annual Event of the GHG Protocol Brazilian Program - whose goal is to encourage corporate culture for the preparation and publication of inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, providing its participants access to international quality standards and instruments. This is the fifth edition of the initiative to encourage the elaboration and publication of GHG inventories in Brazil.  At the event, inventories of GHG emissions related to 2012 will be published to more than 100 member organizations, representing 44 sectors of the economy such as the manufacturing industry, financial activities, insurance, energy and construction, education, public administration, national security and agribusiness. Among them, we can highlight companies such as Vale, Boticário, Banco do Brasil, Alcoa, Editora Globo, BMF Bovespa and Editora Abril.  A transition tool to a low carbon economy, the GHG Protocol Brazilian Program has already trained more than 800 public and private sector managers in achieving GHG inventories since its launch in 2008. Compared to 2012, the balance of the Program in 2013 showed an increase of 6% in the number of inventories qualified with the Golden seal - the top category.  The inventory of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) is an important corporate management tool. Companies of various sizes and industries have incorporated this aspect into its management, not only due to the increasingly inherent global perception, but also due to the recent emergence of legal requirements related to the topic explains Beatriz Kiss, coordinator of the GHG Protocol Brazilian Program. Anyone who has never heard of emission inventories or still does not know how to do them will have to adapt quickly he warns.  The annual event of the GHG Protocol Brazilian Program is open to the public and will take place from 8:30 am, at the Syrian and Lebanese Teaching and Research Institute, in São Paulo.  Please click here and register.
