            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Seria o fim das influenciadoras como as conhecemos? O que as marcas têm a aprender sobre responsabilidade social.</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*R2tjt5bpObhv75faNMdZyA.jpeg" /></figure><p>Recentemente várias influenciadoras têm sido alvo de críticas por terem uma atitude de desrespeito à crise que estamos vivendo do <strong>COVID-19</strong>. Os casos mais críticos foram da blogueira fitness <strong>Gabriela Pugliesi</strong> e a americana <strong>Arielle Charnas</strong>. As duas demonstraram atitudes que deixaram seus seguidores furiosos. A primeira delas ao realizar uma festa no meio de uma pandemia e a segunda por usar de seus privilégios para furar a fila de testes e viajar para sua casa de praia quando ainda contaminada. Ambas perderam inúmeros contratos e patrocínios. Pugliesi suspendeu sua conta no Instagram por tempo indeterminado.</p><p>Mesmo antes do início da pandemia, já haviam sinais de que o atual modelo de influência não estava mais agradando. A imagem de <strong>vida perfeita</strong>, corpos sarados e viagens exclusivas já não ressoava com o público que assistia. Muitos perfis do Instagram passaram a ser um comercial de novela do horário nobre, mas sem a novela, ou seja, apenas um número infinito de propagandas.</p><p>Muitos dos que deixaram de seguir esse tipo de influenciadora têm procurado <strong>autenticidade</strong>, pessoas que mostram tanto as vitorias quanto as derrotas que o cotidiano apresenta. Outros têm procurado perfis de pessoas que dividem conteúdo de desenvolvimento profissional, que ajudam seu público a adquirir novas habilidade e acrescentam em conhecimento.</p><p>E o que isso representa no mercado atual? Consumidores têm exigido o mesmo nível de <strong>transparência</strong> e <strong>comprometimento</strong> das marcas que usam. A responsabilidade social deixou de ser uma página bonita no site da empresa e vem se tornando exigência de clientes. Muitas marcas se posicionaram cedo e criaram novas políticas de comprometimento com seus empregados e comunidade local. Outras pivotaram seu negócio para produzir máscaras cirúrgicas, uniformes para equipes medicas e álcool em gel. Algumas também doaram comida, serviços voluntários ou fizeram o que podiam para ajudar. Essas marcas fortaleceram o relacionamento com seus clientes e não passarão despercebidas.</p><p>Além das influenciadoras acima, outras que incialmente ignoraram a crise e continuaram vendendo suas roupas e exibindo looks do dia, também sofreram com críticas e series de <strong>“unfollow”</strong>. A era do consumismo acima de tudo está enfraquecendo e as marcas que não se adaptarem ficarão pra trás. O consumidor está mais consciente e cobrado responsabilidade tanto social quanto ambiental de suas empresas favoritas.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=1f9823d22b90" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

Acionistas tem exigido cada ano mais um comportamento proativo de executivos — uma pesquisa com <a href="https://www.callan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Callans-2018-ESG-Survey.pdf">89 investidores institucionais</a> americanos mostrou que 43% deles levam em conta questões relacionadas à sustentabilidade quando decidem onde investir.</p><p>Após sofrerem pressão de investidores exigindo comprometimento, companhias abertas do mercado americano resolveram conectar o pacote de benefícios de seus executivos aos <a href="https://www.unric.org/pt/component/content/article/32350-17-objetivos-de-desenvolvimento-sustentavel">Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável</a> das Nações Unidas. Estes tratam de 17 objetivos gerais, avaliados através de 169 metas, que servem como diretrizes às empresas.</p><p>Contudo, a dificuldade se tornou garantir que as metas sejam alcançadas e para isso, muitas empreasas resolveram atrelar o avanço de suas práticas sustentáveis, ao tamanho do bônus de seus CEO e executivos. Ao pressionar as posições mais altas, os obejtivos deixam de ser o plano de um futuro ideal e se tornam parte intrínseca dos negócios da empresa.</p><p>Em 2018, investidores exigiram que a <strong>Shell</strong> se comprometesse a metas concretas de redução de emissão de gases do efeito estufa. A gigante de óleo e gás estabeleceu um plano que reduziria a emissão em 20% até 2035 e em 50% até 2050. Porém, isso não foi suficiente para invetidores majoritários, que exigiram que essa intenção fosse traduzida em objetivos de curto e médio prazo e ações que colocariam em prática o Acordo de Paris.</p><p>Para incentivar seu time, a <strong>Intel</strong> criou uma competição interna por projetos sustentáveis. Das 57 equipes que participaram, 12 receberam prêmios de excelência e cada empregado do time vencedor recebeu compensação financeira. A <strong>Microsoft</strong> também tem oferecido incentivos financeiros para aumentar a diversidade em suas equipes.</p><p>Outros exemplos de como alcançar os Objetivos da ONU seriam: para empresas que usam água em sua produção por exemplo, como a <strong>Coca-Cola</strong>, poderiam atrelar o bônus de executivos a preservação de fontes de água limpa; para empresas de automóveis, a compensação financeira pode depender do desenvolvimento e avanço de sus carros elétricos ou do investimento em medidas de menor impacto como corridas compartilhadas (<strong>Uber</strong>).</p><p>Em um estudo conjunto das <a href="https://www.unglobalcompact.org/library/4331">Nações Unidas e Accenture</a><strong>, 63%</strong> dos executivos afirmaram que sustentabilidade será a causa de grandes problemas em seus negócios nos próximos 5 anos. Aqueles negligenciando questões como a mudança climática sofrerão maiores consequências no futuro.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=2bdfb08c59fa" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>9 Socially Responsibly Initiatives from 3 Companies that care</h3><p>There are several great companies out there that were founded by people who believed in something more than just the profit maximization of their businesses. A good part of today’s work force is already demanding actions from their employees on climate change, gender equality and diversity, among other relevant issues, and as younger generations join the market, more of that will follow. Those who remove to change keep their rusty practices will lose a seat in the game.</p><p>The companies below are great examples of a path we hope others will track.</p><p><strong>PATAGONIA</strong></p><p><strong>Patagonia</strong> is an example to be followed on how businesses can be engaged. The company has established such strong responsible standards that its name serves as a seal of approval to any project. Employees are activists and the company has a number of initiatives focused on environmental protection. They recently updated their <a href="https://www.patagonia.com/company-info.html">Reason for Being</a> to reflect the urgency of climate change and they proudly present values not usually seen in the corporate world such as “Cause no unnecessary harm” and “Use business to protect nature”.</p><p>Some of my favorite actions from Patagonia are:</p><p>· <strong>1% for the Planet</strong>. 1% of their sales go to support organizations that are working to find solutions to the environmental crisis</p><p>· <strong>Tool Conference</strong>. An opportunity for activists to receive <a href="https://www.patagonia.com/tools-conference.html">practical training</a> from experts on how to be more efficient in their fight</p><p>· <strong>Environmental Internship Program</strong>. Employees are allowed 2 months away from their roles to work for an environmental group — and continue to earn their paycheck and benefits!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*BztMMHljEbTiNzfL6nJ3-g.png" /></figure><p><strong>SALESFORCE</strong></p><p>Salesforce is constantly placed at the top on the ‘best companies to work for’ lists. They have a strong culture of education and workforce development. This is a company that understands their biggest asset are the employees and they make sure to value them. Some of their initiatives are:</p><p>· <strong>Investment in education.</strong> Investments go to projects that provide learning opportunities for underserved students. There is a special focus on STEM programs to promote a diversified access to tech jobs</p><p>· <strong>Equality</strong>. A support system for employee led groups, the mission is to bring greater equality to the company. Some of the employee based <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/company/equality/ohanas/#eq-sf-lat">communities</a> are Ability Inclusion, Latinx, LGBT Veteran.</p><p>· <strong>Trailhead</strong>. A learning <a href="https://trailhead.salesforce.com/home">platform</a> that offer free training courses to improve or acquire skills required at tech jobs — This could be your chance to land that tech job.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*pB8-HKAM5mILE1K_MCQ0iw.png" /></figure><p><strong>BEN &amp; JERRY’S</strong></p><p><strong>Ben &amp; Jerry’s </strong>has a history with social responsibility that goes way back to its foundation in 1988. An important aspect of it has always been transparency. The company has different operational initiatives in place to reduce the footprint that comes from manufacturing their product. Some of these are:</p><p>· <strong>Waste management</strong>. Those delicious pints are made out of paperboard packaging (certified by the Forest Stewardship Council) and dairy waste goes to a methane digester, where energy is generated to power farms.</p><p>· <strong>Fair Trade ingredients</strong>. The company started to use <a href="https://www.benjerry.com/values/issues-we-care-about/fairtrade">Fair Trade</a> ingredients in 2005 and all their products are now 100% certified. Eggs are also from Certified Humane cage-free farms.</p><p>· <strong>Carbon footprint</strong>. The company assure they are committed to the Paris Agreement. Reports issued by the company show where their biggest impact is — Milk &amp; Crops. A number of <a href="https://www.benjerry.com/values/issues-we-care-about/climate-justice">actions</a> have been taken to reduce this footprint.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FLu2VBQBpn7U%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DLu2VBQBpn7U&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FLu2VBQBpn7U%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/55d0edab1761a92040fa0c61e10b50aa/href">https://medium.com/media/55d0edab1761a92040fa0c61e10b50aa/href</a></iframe><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=40cac6f1c7d7" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/904/1*dPhPD5NoGUxUyfdWjI7PCQ.png" /></figure><p>Beyond Meat has recently filed its IPO and from day one has been showing an incredible performance in the financial market arena. Stocks were listed at Nasdaq with a price of $25.00 and have so far more than quadruple its value — reaching $183.00 on June 10.</p><p>This got a lot of people asking themselves, why is this company attracting so many investors?</p><p>If you are feeling lost, you’ve probably never made the connection between the meat industry and environmental sustainability. Have you ever wondered how that delicious chicken or bacon you eat every day was produced? A lot of people have, especially younger generations that are now more and more interested in the social and environmental impact of the products we choose we consume. And animal protein is right in the center of this change.</p><p>Given all the issues attached to the “compromised” meat you buy from gigantic companies, which are so many I won’t list here, consumers are looking for alternative options and where consumers go, investors follow. That’s where <a href="https://www.beyondmeat.com/"><strong>Beyond Meat</strong></a> comes in. The company broke down the building blocks that compose a piece of meat and recreated a burger with similar taste and texture, but without the need for an animal in the equation. Its strongest element, however, is not the appearance or taste, but the growth potential in a future where cattle raise is not sustainable.</p><p>The company’s performance in the market, shows how investors are seeing and thinking about the future of meat. Other companies like <a href="https://impossiblefoods.com/">Impossible Foods</a>, probably Beyond Meat’s greatest competitor, and <a href="https://www.ju.st/en-us">Just</a> are also working on recreating animal products from alternative sources. This trend has even pushed some big names in the meat industry — that have not been so vegan or environmentally friendly — to develop some sort protein alternative of their own.</p><p>As consumers become more conscious about the impact of their decisions and the demand for meat alternatives increases, companies like Beyond Meat will acquire bigger market shares and become more valuable to investors. And if you check the market today, it looks like this is already happening.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=51820b85642c" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
