Análise de vagas ESG no mercado de trabalho brasileiro.

Abstract

The private sector’s involvement in social and environmental issues is crucial for society to achieve an economic model that doesn’t compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In this context, the United Nations created the term ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). ESG holds companies accountable for acting with environmental integrity and social equity in their economic activities, and for communicating these responsible activities to society. Despite the creation of the term and its growing global relevance, many companies struggle to operationalize ESG due to the difficulty in finding professionals with the necessary skills to create, execute, measure and communicate a good ESG strategy. These skills were designated as "green skills" by the International Labour Organization. Thus, this study describe and analyze the main characteristics and opportunities in the current Brazilian scenario of job openings in the ESG area. To achieve this, a dashboard has been developed, containing data extracted from the social network LinkedIn, using the programming language Python and the Web Scraping method. Finally, the expected outcome is to simplify part of the professional insertion process in the ESG Brazilian area. As main results, there was the data collection algorithm’s development, as well as the Dashboard’s construction, which gave visibility to the data obtained. With this, it was concluded that between March 12 and June 30, 2023, 320 ESG vacancies were posted on the platform, thus having a daily average of 4 job postings. In addition, it was found that 29.4% of the vacancies work directly with all the ESG pillars, but when analyzing the cut of the 168 offers that were directed to only one of the pillars, the governance pillar is the one that has more job postings. Finally, in relation to the most requested skills and knowledge, in general, there was a high demand for: undergraduate or postgraduate courses related to the environment (engineering in particular), mastery of the office package and experience in management (especially risks, projects and indicators). In addition, demands were identified for various methodologies and frameworks related to ESG such as Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, Global Reporting Initiative, Relato Integrado, Sustainability Development Goals, Greenhouse Gases Protocol, Sistema B, Carbon Disclosure Project, Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, Dow Jones Sustainability World, EcoVadis methodology e B3 Sustainability Index.
