Abstract

The work seeks to verify if the indicators calculated by Refinitiv and by S&P/B3 Brasil ESG are compatible and identify if there is any level of correlation. The work uses a case study and the companies analyzed were Ambev SA, Klabin SA and Gerdau SA from 2017 to 2021. The results show that the level of compatibility is still partial, there is space for building convergences.
