  • An Assessment of Awards Granted to Firms VERÔNICA
    Does public recognition matter? An assessment of awards granted to firms VERÔNICA DE FÁTIMA SANTANA Universidade de São Paulo RAQUEL WILLE SARQUIS Universidade de São Paulo Abstract The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether the public recognition of firms’ quality via the Troféu Transparência, awarded by Anefac-Fipecafi-Serasa, and the Melhor Empresa do Ano Award given by the Melhores & Maiores yearbook from Exame magazine, generates value to stockholders. Thus, we employed an event study analysis in order to gauge whether the winner firms present positive cumulative abnormal returns around the awards announcement dates. Based on The Signaling Theory, high-quality firms will differentiate themselves from low-quality firms sending signals to market, that will be used by potential investors in investments decisions. In Brazil, there are two certifications of firms’ quality widely known and valued by the market: Troféu Transparência, that is granted to those firms with the highest level of transparency in their financial statements; and Melhor Empresa do Ano, that is a certification for those firms with the best financial performance, being a stamp of investments with higher future profitability. We proposed that winner firms from both awards will send positive signals to the market, and potential investors will positively value it. In both awards, the winner firms are announced to the market only in an awards’ ceremony. Therefore, we performed an event study focusing the analysis around the ceremony awards’ dates, calculating abnormal returns for the winner firms in a window of 20 days before and after the date of the events. Analyzing the winners of the last five editions (2012–2016), our results indicate, on average, the Melhor Empresa do Ano winners accumulate more than 10% of abnormal returns 5 days after the ceremony and the Troféu Transparência winners accumulate 20% of abnormal returns 20 days after the announcement.

  • Fitch Revises Several Brazilian Corporate Rating Outlooks to Negative
    07/05/2020 Fitch Revises Several Brazilian Corporate Rating Outlooks to Negative RATING ACTION COMMENTARY Fitch Revises Several Brazilian Corporate Rating Outlooks to Negative Thu 07 May, 2020 - 17:08 ET Fitch Ratings - Sao Paulo - 07 May 2020: Fitch Ratings has revised the Outlook for the international long-term ratings of several Brazilian corporates to Negative from Stable following this week's Brazil's Sovereign Rating Outlook revision to Negative from Stable. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release. KEY RATING DRIVERS The Outlook revision to Negative for these issuers results from their exposure to Brazil's Country Ceiling or their direct linkage to the country's sovereign ratings. The Brazilian Sovereign's Outlook revision to Negative from Stable reflects the deterioration of Brazil's economic and fiscal outlooks, and downside risks to both given renewed political uncertainty, including tensions between the executive and congress, and uncertainty over the duration and intensity of the coronavirus pandemic. These factors could hinder the government's capacity for fiscal adjustment and implementation of economic reforms after the coronavirus https://www.fitchratings.com/research/corporate-finance/fitch-revises-several-brazilian-corporate-rating-outlooks-to-negative-07-05-2020 1/13 07/05/2020 Fitch Revises Several Brazilian Corporate Rating Outlooks to Negative pandemic and a sizeable emergency policy response. Brazil entered the current period of stress with a relatively weak fiscal balance sheet and low economic growth. Fitch expects Brazil's economy to contract by 4% in 2020, with risks biased to the downside. Average growth of negative 0.6% over the last five years reflects a slow recovery after a long and deep recession in 2015/2016.

  • CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY INDEX: Does the Firm Benefit from It?
    ISSN: 2359-1048 Dezembro 2018 CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY INDEX: Does the firm benefit from it? VINÍCIUS LEONARDO LOUREIRO MORRONE UNIVERSIDADE DE SÃO PAULO FLÁVIA FURTADO PESSOA DE MENDONÇA FUNDAÇÃO GETÚLIO VARGAS - FGV CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY INDEX: Does the firm benefit from it? Introduction Porter and Kramer (2006) define the competitiveness of companies as dependent on the community around them, thanks to the synergy between economic and social objectives. According to the authors, companies are induced to adopt social and sustainable practices for four reasons: moral obligation, sustainability, licenses to operate or reputation. These motives stem from a tension implicitly imposed by society, which views large corporations as more or more influential than the government itself on these issues. There are non-consensual opinions about real corporate social responsibility. Opposing lines began the arguments of two economists, both Nobel Prize winners, Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson. A defender of the orthodox view, Friedman argues that the company fulfills its social role by focusing only on obligations relating to the generation of employment, the provision of services or products suited to the market and the payment of taxes. Any activity that exceeds these limits would, according to him, generate economic inefficiency (Friedman, 1973). Already Samuelson (1971), defender of a heterodox line, has the same vision of Porter and Kramer (2006): there is economic and social interdependence. Also Elkington (1999), creator of the model that is now one of the references of business sustainability, called the Triple Bottom Line, believes that companies must structure their processes in activities sustained by economic, social and environmental benefits.
