Brazilian companies often highlight their environmental responsibility in marketing and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reports. The term reflects both international environmental standards and Brazil's position as a global environmental steward. In the United States, this concept is central to corporate sustainability initiatives, though often called 'environmental accountability' or 'corporate environmental stewardship.'
