Evidenciação dos riscos ambientais pela companhias brasileiras do setor de energia elétrica listadas na B3

Abstract

This study sought the most logical results of the year 2017. In this sense, a descriptive research was conducted with the steps of document collection and qualitative-quantitative approach. The sample was made by companies and consulates. The rods were searched segregated according to the study of Schmeider and Boff (2013), in natural, technological (human-generated) and not excluded (with insufficient information) movements. The results show that they are more evidenced by the electric power companies that are categorized as Technological Risks (58.33%). Still, of the 57 companies surveyed, only 10 of them showed some type of environmental risk during the years analyzed, even though their activities generate a medium environmental impact. From this, it can be verified that the companies that have the index do not divulge risks inherent to their activities, although in the year of 2017 significant improvements were presented, with 14.03% of the total companies that make up the segment.
