Resumo

Although there are many concepts related to sustainable development, this paper analyses
the concept of “Planet Governance”, which comes from, and is related to, Corporate
Governance. It aims to present all the literature that relates the application of business
strategy to the global economy, associating the instruments of Corporate Governance with
Global Governance.
The current valuation of companies in the market, attracting investments, funding resources,
in particular from listed companies, are related to compliance with Corporate Governance
good practices. Based on this premise, then the economic and social development of states
can also be related to good environmental practices carried out by a given economy. From
this comparison, this new concept of “Planet Governance” was evidenced by the authors.
Based on the pillars and main variables of corporate governance, we defined a new concept:
the concept of Planet Governance. “Planet Governance identifies the way in which
governments manage, based on the principles of equity, transparency, alignment of interests
and accountability, their economic resources for the sustainability of the planet with a positive
impact on the country’s economic performance”.
Planet Governance will be understood as a concept that will allow, in the first place, to evaluate
the governments of countries in terms of the management of the planet (resources). It will
also enable evaluating the economic and social impact resulting from these good practices,
thus going further and more specifically than the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
themselves.

Apesar de já existirem muitos conceitos relacionados com o desenvolvimento sustentável, apresentamos, neste trabalho, o conceito de “Planet Governance”, que advém, e se relaciona, com o de Corporate Governance. O presente estudo visa a apresentação de toda a literatura que relaciona a aplicação da estratégia empresarial à economia global, associando os instrumentos de Corporate Governance à “Governance Global”. A atual valorização das empresas no mercado, a captação de investimentos, os recursos a financiamentos, em particular das empresas cotadas, estão relacionados com o cumprimento das boas práticas em matéria de Corporate Governance. Partindo desta permissa então também o desenvolvimento económico e social dos Estados poderá ser relacionado com as boas práticas ambientais levada a cabo por uma determinada economia. Desta comparação foi evidenciado pelas autoras este novo conceito de “Planet Governance”. Com base nos pilares e principais variáveis de governação empresarial, definimos um novo conceito: O conceito de Governação do Planeta. "Planet Governance identifica a forma como os governos gerem, sobre os princípios da equidade, transparência, alinhamento de interesses e responsabilidade, os seus recursos económicos de sustentabilidade do planeta com um impacto positivo no desempenho económico do país". O Planet Governance será entendido como um conceito que permitirá em primeiro lugar avaliar os governos de cada país em termos da gestão do planeta (recursos) e também permitirá avaliar o impacto económico e social resultante dessas boas práticas, indo, desta forma, mais além e mais especificamente do que as metas que os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) abordam.
