The "Best Sustainability Practices Guide: The ESG Strategy" is a comprehensive document developed by members of Modal ESG and the LabPortos Research Group from the Federal University of Maranhão, in partnership with ATP and ABEPH. The Guide provides a detailed analysis of ESG best practices across the environmental, social, and governance dimensions. It is based on a robust methodology that includes a literature review, regulatory analysis, interviews, and technical visits, and is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and relevant legislation and certifications. The Guide maps national regulations and proposes a pathway to sustainability, with actions aimed at various stakeholders, fostering a balanced and sustainable relationship between ports and their cities. It features 68 practical tips, 99 mapped stakeholders, 175 mapped material topics, and 91 projects related to the SDGs.

Meet TESCY, the virtual sustainable assistant created to strengthen the culture of the TESC Group. Featured throughout the 2022 and 2023 Sustainability Reports, TESCY provides an interactive and educational experience. She shares interesting facts, explains technical concepts, and guides the reader through the company’s sustainability initiatives and projects. With her help, the reports become more accessible and engaging, promoting a deeper understanding and greater involvement with the TESC Group's sustainable practices.

For the 2023 Sustainability Report cycle of the TESC Group, applying dynamic materiality and promoting continuity in sustainable culture, Modal ESG developed the second report. This document highlighted TESC's restructuring to operate in the grain market, reflecting its strategic repositioning. As the company matured, projects moved from planning to implementation, such as the GHG inventory and strategic planning, which were integrated into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this cycle, new material topics were incorporated to reflect the current context. This alignment fostered cross-sector discussions on the best way to convey these initiatives in the report, resulting in greater internal engagement.

The Santa Catarina Terminal (TESC) is located in the port complex of São Francisco do Sul (SC) and has been operating for over 25 years. Modal ESG created the first report for the TESC Group for the year 2022, published in 2023. The report introduces significant innovations, including elements such as artificial intelligence, sustainability literacy, a glossary of technical terms, a dynamic methodology for defining stakeholders and material topics. Additionally, the design is attractive and aligned with the company's visual identity.
