Avaliação das práticas ESG através do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE B3).

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the risk/return ratio of the Sustainability Index (ISE B3), through the Sharpe index. Over the seventeen years of ISE B3, there was an average increase of 4.2% in the number of companies and 2.42% in the number of shares. The frequencies of participations of companies and economic sectors in the ISE B3 portfolios ranged from 5.88% to 100%. The series presented structural breakage, thus being divided into two periods. The first period of the IBOVESPA resulted in a negative trend, while the second showed a positive trend and a higher risk/return ratio. On the other, the two periods of ISE B3 showed positive trends and risk / return ratios also positive. It was concluded that ISE B3 presented a better risk /return ratio over the periods considered.
