Objective of the project

Promote a broad review of the Ethos Indicators, aligning them with international ESG references, the OECD Guidelines for Multinationals, and adjusting them to the reality of the participating countries Brazil, Argentina and Chile to generate an information exchange system that generates the commitment of the relevant actors for the evolution of these aspects, as well as the establishment of a public standard to assess the best performance, greater transparency and the best business practices.

In particular:

– Involve relevant strategic audiences (companies, civil society organizations, worker representatives, investors, among others) for the development of the new evaluation and public recognition methodology.

– Support the implementation of responsible business conduct systems for medium-sized and large companies, through the creation of a new ESG evaluation and public recognition methodology.
