Glossary

How much do you know about sustainability?

Find all the terms, concepts, and ideas that encompass sustainability in our Glossary.

ESG

ESG stands for Environment, Social and Governance.
Why are they important? Because the criteria based on these three areas represent the non-financial aspects of a company and are a good indicator of its performance in terms of sustainability.

Due Diligence

Human rights and environmental due diligence is the process by which companies take all necessary and effective measures to identify, prevent, mitigate, account for and respond to the actual or potential negative impacts of their own activities or those of their value chain. This includes subsidiaries, subcontractors, suppliers and other economic relationships, in the state of origin or in third countries.

Greenwashing

Greenwashing could be understood as the advertising strategy used by certain companies to present themselves and their products as environmentally friendly entities, without being so. The main objective of these companies is, on the one hand, to hide their real practices (more harmful to nature) and, on the other, to take advantage of the popularity of everything classified as 'green', both at the business and brand level.

Decarbonization

Decarbonization is not the opposite of carbonization, a verb related to coal, but refers to the process by which countries or other entities try to achieve a low-carbon economy, or by which people try to reduce their carbon consumption.
