The ESG para PMEs is a capacity-building project resulting from the agreement between the Portuguese public entity named AICEP, the agency in charge of attracting foreign investment and supporting Portuguese companies to export, and the Knowledge Institute Powered by Abreu Advogados. The project consists of developing an online course of four hours entitled Curso ESG de A a Z do Relato de Sustentabilidade. It is addressed free of charge to SMEs incorporated in Portugal and concerns the companies’ reporting obligations enshrined in the CSRD – Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, including Environmental, Social, and Governance metrics in the ESRS, European Sustainability Reporting Standards. The online course has an open-access format and is available in Portuguese on the AICEP Academy platform, which is expected to have an outreach of approximately 2.000 PMEs.
The NOVA Green Lab is part of this capacity-building project since Professor Lucila de Almeida was its scientific coordinator through our partnership with Instituto do Conhecimento da Abreu Advogados.
