Social and environmental responsibility of Brazilian companies on the environmental impact by transport is analyzed through sustainability and yearly reports. A descriptive and quantitative research was undertaken by analyzing documents retrieved from 97 companies of the Index Brazil 100. Criteria and sub-criteria with different scales were verified with regard to transport in sustainability and yearly reports between 2010 and 2013. Information weight was calculated by entropy and the Displaced Ideal (DI) method was applied for the elaboration of rankings. Results showed that Copel, CPFL Energia, Eletropaulo, Fibria, Natura, P. Açúcar and Petrobrás were the companies with at least a single information on transport during the years under analysis. Although the companies analyzed had provided a gradual yearly increase in the environmental information in their reports, they should provide more information related to transport. Firms should give more information on their assessment criteria on impacts and their decrease, according to their aims. It is highly relevant that they provide environmental information on transport to improve their transparency and their social and environmental responsibility in society.Downloads
