Rodolfo Fücher, president of the association, participates in panel on human capital on June 17th at 10:40 am
São Paulo, June 16, 2021 – The ESG Forum event, promoted by IT Inside, will focus on the initiatives that companies must adopt to be committed to having a more sustainable operation in environmental, social and governance terms (ESG – Environmental, Social, Governance). For this, it will have the participation of ABES – Brazilian Association of Software Companies in one of the panels. On June 17, at 10:40 am, Rodolfo Fücher, president of the association, will be present at the event to discuss the new challenges that professionals who work with human capital have come to face in the workplace, such as corporate conduct and contribution to the community.
“Diversity is the stage for opportunities for companies to act both internally, with their employees, and externally. Being ethical, acting responsibly, caring for the environment and the society around us, is fundamental. Therefore, this meeting will serve to present our actions and programs linked to the best ESG practices, in the sense of helping our associates to contribute to an increasingly inclusive and egalitarian world”, says Rodolfo Fücher, president of ABES.
In addition to the executive, the debate will include the participation of Marcus Nakagawa, coordinator of the ESPM Center for Socioenvironmental Development (CEDS) and advisor at Abraps; Fernando Luciano, director of Talents at Vivo; Rubem Duek, president of Associação Meu Futuro Digital; and Catherine Duvignau, CEO and founder of Toptrends.
The ESG theme contributes to ABES' purpose of contributing to the construction of a more digital and less unequal Brazil, in which information technology plays a fundamental role in the democratization of knowledge and the creation of new opportunities for all, in an inclusive way and egalitarian. With this in mind, the association decided to promote a mobilization to reduce the impact on the environment through the proper disposal of IT equipment. Named "Mobilization to reduce inequality", the campaign launched in partnership with ReUrbi and the Third Sector Observatory, and with the support of Weber Shandwick, aims to support social inclusion projects that promote training in the digital area, through resources obtained by recycling IT equipment discarded by companies.
To participate, companies that have electronic IT equipment that want to contribute to the environment and invest in social projects, must follow the instructions on the ReciTech website. Entities that have a social project aligned with the purpose of the campaign can apply to receive the resources by contacting the Observatório do Tercer Sectoro: contato@observatorio3setor.org.br
