The Brazilian Pension Funds Authority has entered into a cooperation agreement with Associação Soluções Inclusivas Sustentáveis to deliver a technical course on incorporating environmental social and governance criteria into investments, aimed at strengthening supervision in the closed supplementary pension sector. The 30-hour programme will run from 25 May to 5 July for 25 participants from PREVIC, the Ministry of Social Security and the Ministry of Finance, and is intended to improve supervisors’ ability to assess climate and other ESG risks in investment management and in the application of PREVIC Resolution 26/2025. The six-module course will cover socioenvironmental and climate risk management and monitoring, including checks based on the registration data of invested companies and their executives and on the location of economic activities. It also includes assessment of investee companies through sustainability reports, reference forms and sector indicators, ESG-related financial products, sustainability reporting by pension entities, physical climate risk in real estate, and global reporting standards including IFRS S1, IFRS S2 and transition plan guidance. Teaching will be online through short weekly classes, readings, exercises and forum participation, and SIS will provide the course at no cost to PREVIC.
