Itens ambientais evidenciados pelas empresas de mineração listadas na BM&F BOVESPA

Abstract

In recent years there has been growing concern among companies about environmental issues. Publishing reports that provide such information is a way for companies to demonstrate their commitment to the environmental cause and improve their relationship with various stakeholders. In the mining sector, the publication of these reports contributes to improving the image of the sector. The objective of the study is to identify the items of environmental disclosure in the mining sector published in the official documents of the metal mining companies registered at BM & FBOVESPA from 2013 to 2016. It was verified that of the four companies analyzed, only two disclosed their policies and environmental practices through its Financial Statements, and the information is mostly qualitative.
