In order to have a reputation in the social and environmental aspect, it is essential convey transparency and reliability in the actions. Thus, the enterprises shall provide the information required by law, but which are not restricted to what deter- mines the standard; additional information can be disclosed aiming transparency of accounting norms.

About the impact that contingencies would cause if they all have their probability of occurrence as probable and were to be accrued, it is observed that 25% of companies have their profits reduced by more than half and would get even losses. Moreover, about half of the companies has a significance of up to 7% compared to net income, inferring that the relevance of passive environmental contingencies for most companies is low related to the net profit of the same.
