Resumo

Este artigo teve como objetivo verificar se as empresas que elaboraram seus relatórios observando o padrão da Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) e que foram submetidos a auditoria, bem como se as empresas que fazem parte da carteira do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) adotam maior disclosure de igualdade de gênero. A pesquisa baseou-se na análise de 61 relatórios de sustentabilidade publicados em 2019, no padrão GRI. A partir da adoção de método quantitativo, os resultados do estudo demonstram que as empresas brasileiras apresentam um nível médio de 51,9% de disclosure das diretrizes do GRI relacionadas ao ODS5. Constatou-se que a asseguração dos relatórios afeta positivamente o disclosure do ODS5, enquanto a participação da empresa no ISE não apresentou significância estatística.
