Environmental and social responsibility is on the investors' agenda all over the world.

A new kind of company has emerged on the international scene. These socially responsible organizations, concerned with environmental issues, include in their strategic planning much more comprehensive matters than the traditional economic-financial goals.

These corporations are concerned with their inclusion in the sector where they operate and look to consider requirements and concerns of all their publics of interest - clients, employees, communities, government, partners, and suppliers. And more: they aim at creating long-term value for the stakeholder.

Other characteristics worth mentioning are transparency with the investors, high governance standards and human resources management focusing on capacity building and employee satisfaction.

The success of this kind of company is constant mentioned by investors in the USA and Europe, who some time ago began to analyze their prospects, indices and sustainability reports, in addition to other pointers disclosed by the New York and London stock exchanges.
