Due diligence: o que é e como aplicar no contexto ambiental?
- Comprovar a conformidade com as normas socioambientais e de governança corporativa;
- Rastrear a origem dos produtos;
- Evidenciar a ausência de desmatamento em toda a cadeia de suprimentos.
- Dessa forma, é possível garantir que a empresa esteja em conformidade com boas práticas ambientais, de governança e de responsabilidade social, ampliando sua atuação em mercados estratégicos.
- Identificar riscos de desmatamento ilegal:
- Detalhar as origens das matérias-primas utilizadas, verificando se há associação a áreas de desmatamento ilegal ou degradação florestal.
- Redução de riscos: a identificação de potenciais passivos ambientais permite que sejam tomadas medidas para mitigar os riscos e evitar problemas futuros.
- Proteção legal: prova de que a empresa adotou medidas razoáveis para identificar e prevenir danos ambientais, o que pode ser fundamental em caso de litígios.
- Melhoria da reputação: demonstra um compromisso com a sustentabilidade e a responsabilidade ambiental, podendo fortalecer a imagem da empresa e atrair investidores.
- Conformidade com a legislação: garantia de que a empresa esteja conforme a legislação ambiental vigente, evitando multas e sanções.
- Adequação ao EUDR: a realização da due diligence ambiental é um passo fundamental para que as empresas se adequem às exigências do novo Regulamento Europeu sobre Due Diligence para Produtos Livres de Desmatamento.
- Acesso a mercados estratégicos: alguns países exigem que as exportadoras comprovem a origem da matéria-prima e a conformidade com suas regulamentações ambientais. Assim, a aplicação de due dilligence é crucial para ampliar a atuação em mercados-chave, bem como necessária para efetuar determinadas transações comerciais.

Yvon Chouinard - Earth is now our only shareholder
I never wanted to be a businessman. I started as a craftsman, making climbing gear for my friends and myself, then got into apparel. As we began to witness the extent of global warming and ecological destruction, and our own contribution to it, Patagonia committed to using our company to change the way business was done. If we could do the right thing while making enough to pay the bills, we could influence customers and other businesses, and maybe change the system along the way.
We started with our products, using materials that caused less harm to the environment. We gave away 1% of sales each year. We became a certified B Corp and a California benefit corporation, writing our values into our corporate charter so they would be preserved. More recently, in 2018, we changed the company’s purpose to: We’re in business to save our home planet.
While we’re doing our best to address the environmental crisis, it’s not enough. We needed to find a way to put more money into fighting the crisis while keeping the company’s values intact.
“Truth be told, there were no good options available. So, we created our own.”
One option was to sell Patagonia and donate all the money. But we couldn’t be sure a new owner would maintain our values or keep our team of people around the world employed.
Another path was to take the company public. What a disaster that would have been. Even public companies with good intentions are under too much pressure to create short-term gain at the expense of long-term vitality and responsibility.
Truth be told, there were no good options available. So, we created our own.Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.
Here’s how it works: 100% of the company’s voting stock transfers to the Patagonia Purpose Trust, created to protect the company’s values; and 100% of the nonvoting stock had been given to the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting the environmental crisis and defending nature. The funding will come from Patagonia: Each year, the money we make after reinvesting in the business will be distributed as a dividend to help fight the crisis.
It’s been nearly 50 years since we began our experiment in responsible business, and we are just getting started. If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a thriving business—50 years from now, it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is another way we’ve found to do our part.
Despite its immensity, the Earth’s resources are not infinite, and it’s clear we’ve exceeded its limits. But it’s also resilient. We can save our planet if we commit to it.
