Climate Change
We have a fundamental role to play in promoting a low-carbon economy, contributing to the country’s sustainable development. Given this scenario, we have defined Climate Change as a priority and an essential part of ABC Brasil’s strategy, guiding our decisions, processes, products and services.
To this end, we focus our efforts on the production chains of the sectors in which we operate, both mitigating risks in businesses that intensify climate change and boosting businesses that bring new models and solutions for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Consolidating this commitment, we have a portfolio of products and services that promote an increasingly green and inclusive economy. Access our ESG products here.
