Descripción
Sumario:This study aimed to highlight the social and environmental conformity and inconsistencies practiced by energy companies, based on the list of 11 criteria and NBC T 15 from the study by Cruz et al. (2019). As for the methodology, this was classified as qualitative, documentary, and descriptive. The study found that companies point to positive actions in relation to the environment, this evidence was detected through spending on environmental preservation, provision for damage that may occur, investments in spending on environmental education for the external community, presentation of comparative information with previous years, presentation of future goals in the environmental area and environmental actions aimed at the external public. However, these actions were not identified for the internal public. The study concluded that companies practice environmental actions, and EDP Engie do Brasil is the company that invests the most in project startups in this area, and the company Light was the one that generated the most information on its environmental practices. These findings corroborate the study by Pletsch et al. (2015), in which the authors showed, in their research, that most companies have a structured environmental policy.
