“…Additionally, tourism-related services concentrated in the coastal areas were also affected. Ferreira et al (2022) supported these claims and found a reduction in revenue and income in the lodging and food sectors, while more striking impacts were identi ed on artisanal shing and beach vendors, who are known to be more socially vulnerable. In terms of health, Bruederle & Hodler (2019) found that oil spills that occur before conception increase neonatal mortality by 38.3 deaths per 1,000 live births, corresponding to a 100% increase in the sample mean across girls and boys, socio-economic backgrounds, and locations.…”

In February 2023, an oil tanker carrying 5660 bbl. of industrial fuel oil sank off Naujan in the Philippines causing an oil spill in the waters of Oriental Mindoro and nearby provinces. The disaster affected fishing communities as well as marine ecosystems including the Verde Island Passage, which is at the "center of the center of world's marine biodiversity". This study assesses the immediate social and economic impacts of this oil spill on various communities of Naujan coast. We conducted semi-structured interviews and employed a narrative analysis to explore the lived experiences of the fisherfolk on the oil spill and to understand its socio-economic impacts. With the prohibition of fishing and other aquatic activities, participants lost up to USD 1300 of income per week from fishing. The participants had no other source of income due to the lack of other skills or the opportunity for alternative livelihood in the community. While the government provided food packs and financial assistance, participants found these insufficient to sustain the basic family needs including food, utilities, education, and health. Traces of oil were also found in the sources of potable water affecting their daily household activities. The fisherfolk, which are communities vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards, had their subsistence, food security, and human well-being highly compromised. The findings provided recommendations for government interventions to mitigate the impacts of an oil spill and other future disasters, considering social, economic, and human ecological perspectives.

“…In the case of the Prestige Oil Spill, Garza et al [22] estimated losses of EUR 1390 million for the fishing industry and EUR 187.9 million for recreation and tourism. Ferreira et al [23] supported these claims and found a reduction in revenue and income in the lodging and food sectors, while more striking impacts were identified on artisanal fishing and beach vendors, who are known to be more socially vulnerable. In terms of health, Bruederle and Hodler [24] identified the causal effect of exposure to hydrocarbons from oil spills and the risks to fetal development by comparing siblings born to the same mother who were conceived before and after a nearby oil spill.…”

“…Tal consideração depende de uma nova relação do ser humano com o meio ambiente. Assim, baseado na capacidade de seus limites naturais, segundo (Ferreira et. al., 2022), a capacidade de carga imprime que toda atividade deve ter limites para não sobrecarregar a capacidade de renovação do meio ambiente.…”

A adoção de ESG no Brasil e a frequente alocação de recursos requer mecanismos de gestão da área socioambiental, o estudo busca identificar o que é, e qual a aplicação dos indicadores da gestão socioambiental. Assim, os problemas que se apresentam são: O que é um indicador da gestão socioambiental? E tem por objetivo geral o levantamento e análise do conceito de indicador da gestão socioambiental adotado no Brasil, pelos órgãos governamentais e empresas, bem como a sua aplicação, constatando a existência de padrões e metodologias uniformes. Com critério metodológico, foi aplicada a metodologia da revisão sistemática literária sobre o problema da pesquisa, com os métodos exploratório e descritivo, que terá uma abordagem quali-quantitativa dos dados coletados sobre o tema. Como uso da ferramenta de planejamento, coleta e organização dos dados, foi utilizado o software da (State of The Art Through Systematic Review – START). Assim, sendo elencados diversos conceitos, com correlação e análise dos conteúdos, foi elaborado um conceito, englobando os entendimentos sobre os indicadores da gestão socioambiental, revisto no estado da arte.
