Odebrecht Engenharia e Construção (OEC), founded in 1944 and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the largest engineering and construction companies in Latin America and one of the largest companies in Brazil. OEC provides services in the construction industry, and operates in five major areas: energy, industrial plants, sanitation, transport and logistics, and urban development and buildings.
Summary
OEC discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company demonstrates its contribution to the local economy, reporting that 98.8% of its employees are hired locally. It also has a publicly available commitment to protecting personal data.
Regardless, there are areas where OEC can improve its performance. While the company reports its non-renewable energy consumption, it should also report its renewable energy consumption. Additionally, the company discloses its process for determining the affordability of its services, but it should also establish targets to reduce the cost of its products or services to ensure they remain affordable for customers.
OEC lacks disclosure on how it determines living wages in the regions where it operates. Additionally, the company does not provide evidence that it regularly monitors air quality parameters. Addressing these gaps will enable OEC to strengthen its sustainability practices and align more closely with industry standards.
