Resumo

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação do poder do CEO e a divulgação ambiental das empresas brasileiras de capital aberto listadas na B3, entre 2010 e 2022. A partir de dados de 215 empresas (1.453 observações), a pesquisa mensurou o poder do CEO a partir de três dimensões: estrutural, de propriedade e de prestígio. Já a variável divulgação ambiental foi avaliada por meio de oito indicadores ambientais relacionados à agenda de sustentabilidade corporativa, alinhados aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da ONU, que abrangem aspectos ambientais, sociais e de governança. Os indicadores analisados incluem aspectos como: emissões de carbono, consumo de água, gestão de resíduos e uso de energia renovável. Os achados indicaram que apenas o poder de prestígio do CEO possui uma relação positiva e significativa com a divulgação ambiental, ressaltando a importância do reconhecimento público dos líderes empresariais. Enquanto isso, o poder estrutural e o de propriedade não foram estatisticamente significantes. Assim, este estudo traz contribuições à literatura ao explorar a relação entre características dos CEOs e práticas de sustentabilidade em um mercado emergente, fornecendo insights para empresas, investidores e formuladores de políticas interessados em alinhar estratégias corporativas aos princípios dos ODS de maneira ampla.
