    Abstract The Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2) emerged from a joint initiative of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3) with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development, in 2010, through the identification of the market niche, which was made possible by debates on climate change. ICO2 helped participating companies to operate in a so-called low-carbon economy, by monitoring their greenhouse gas emissions. This research performs a comparative analysis between the companies that were part of the ICO2 index and the other companies belonging to the Ibovespa (Brazilian Stock Exchange Index), between the years 2014 and 2018, seeking to identify differences between their economic and financial performance. First, financial indicators—ROIC (return on invested capital), ROE (return on equity), and ROA (return on assets)—were used to compare the performance of the ICO2 and Ibovespa groupings from 2014 to 2018. Second, the Mann–Whitney U test was performed to compare the ROIC, ROE, and ROA performance indicators in the years 2014–2018 for the two groups, ICO2 and Ibovespa. Finally, the cluster analysis was performed for the 2018 indicators. As a result of the analysis, no superior performance was identified for companies belonging to the ICO2 index, corroborating with results from most previous surveys, referenced in this survey. The findings of this study provide an important contribution to the existing research on sustainability in financial markets since there are few available scientific articles that investigate the Brazilian sustainability market using indicators and statistical treatment.

    Abstract Abstract The global pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, COVID 19, has disrupted the lives of most people on the planet. The magnitude of such disruption can only be compared to those caused by World War II. Experts suggest that in order to better evaluate this situation, it should be divided into two waves. The first wave being associated with health issues and the second one with economic issues. This article suggests that this global pandemic is fostering yet a third wave, which in the long run can be much more impactful in our lives than the first two. This third wave consists on accelerating the implantation process of the fourth industrial revolution. This article is divided into sections with the physical, digital and biological spheres of the fourth industrial revolution, as well as the dimensions of sustainability and other important considerations, in order to better demonstrate the emergence of a new era catalyzed by a virus.

    Abstract Global environmental and economic changes are putting pressure on natural resources with increasing demands for fresh water, energy and food (WEF). These changes aligned with the consequent change in dietary behaviors through an increased consumption of meat and a preference for sustainability standards of production, demand new technologies and techniques. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to propose a beef cattle production model based on a sustainable integrative approach to the WEF nexus, addressing water savings through rainwater collection, food production, and clean and renewable energy generation (solar cells and biodigesters). In addition, cattle are provided thermal comfort and welfare. The proposed model was tested in a beef cattle production environment and the benefits of this sustainable integrative approach were analyzed. Findings suggest that the proposed standard modules represent a strategic option for livestock producers. The use of the photovoltaic solar cells shadow improve the welfare and quality of cattle production, while generating clean and renewable energy and providing water savings.
