Sustainability reporting has gained significant importance in both Brazil and the United States due to increasing investor pressure, regulatory requirements, and consumer demand for corporate responsibility. In Brazil, large companies and those in extractive industries (mining, oil) are particularly expected to maintain comprehensive sustainability reports. In the USA, institutional investors and funds increasingly use sustainability reporting to assess long-term business viability and risk management. The frameworks most commonly used include the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
