Learn what ESG is

ESG is the acronym for “Environmental, Social and Governance”, which originated in the UN Global Compact in 2000, and which aims to provide innovation, technology and entrepreneurship through better environmental, social and governance practices in the organizational environment. In other words, it is a culture of transformation that strengthens the governance and sustainability of companies, with significant repercussions on issues related to the planet, society, market and consumer demands for the well-being of current and future generations.

E - Ambiental

Relates to the policies and guidelines implemented in the company aimed at preserving the environment. Among these environmental guidelines, the following stand out: the search for sustainable options to minimize environmental impact, the reduction in pollutant emissions, appropriate practices in relation to packaging, special attention in the production, handling and disposal of plastics and other materials, as well as appropriate management of waste disposal.

S – Social

Refers to the company's interaction with the people around it. Some notable social practices include commitment to labor rights, prioritizing health and safety in the workplace, supporting diversity and inclusion, engaging in social causes and projects, and actively collaborating with the community.

G – Governance

Refers to the way the company manages its processes, with an emphasis on transparency. Some governance practices include implementing policies to control processes, behaviors, and institutional policies related to issues such as anti-corruption, money laundering, and slave labor. In addition, transparency in the directors' compensation policy, the company's values, ethical and moral stance in business, emphasis on accountability and corporate responsibility, and the truthfulness of information about the company's products and processes are highlighted.

Sailing to the Future: an initiative in partnership between Lachmann and Projeto Grael

Founded in 1998 by Olympic medalists Lars Grael, Torben Grael and Marcelo Ferreira, Projeto Grael is a non-governmental organization (NGO) with the mission of democratizing young people’s access to sailing, promoting a significant social transformation in their lives.

Inspired by this purpose and in synergy with the social initiatives of Lachmann’s ESG agenda, the course “Sailing to the Future” was created in partnership with Projeto Grael, which aims to open new horizons for students in the shipping agency market. All students selected for the course came from Projeto Grael.

Students also received a scholarship and had  the opportunity to be hired at the end of the course, becaming part of the Lachmann Talent Bank. In this way, we created opportunities, trained qualified professionals and strengthened dreams. This partnership represents our confidence in the power of learning, sports and collaboration to create a future with social and environmental sustainability.

LACHMANN GROUP PARTNERSHIP

Pallet Donation

We recently established our partnership with “Unindo Forças Cooperative”, which believes that we can have a more sustainable life;  therefore, they reuse wood materials such as pallets to make other products, such as furniture which promotes the circular economy.

Contributing to this project, Lachmann Terminais will make a quarterly donation of pallets that are not used in operations with this same prupose. We are happy to deliver real results from our ESG agenda, seeking ways to provide an increasingly sustainable service.
