  • Environmental sustainability and legislation, governance and esg: economic opportunities and possible repercussions on the job market for chemical engineers. The issue of the environment and sustainability still needs to be more widespread in Brazilian society, despite being debated by academics and opinion formers. However, there has been a consensus among developed countries on the need to adopt sustainable economic practices and create laws promoting environmental protection. In Brazil, the state has played a leading role in this process by creating specific legislation, and companies have basically responded to this stimulus. The aim of this work is to assess the impact of the environmental sustainability paradigm and its legal and governance effect on Brazilian companies, seeking to identify some quantitative impact indicators that can serve as reference points for the influence on the chemical engineer job market.
