  • The Rule of Law: a Challenge for the Emerging Markets in Mexico and Brazil Nubia Nieto
    The rule of law: a challenge for the emerging markets in Mexico and Brazil Estado de direito: o desafio das economias emergentes no México e no Brasil Nubia Nieto Abstract The new global order has been reshaped in recent times. New actors are emerging from different part of Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, even if the president of the United States, Donald Trump, tries to contain this trend. The emerging economies continue their expansion and some analysts predict that they will overtake G7 economies by 2027. However, the main question raised in this text is not whether the BRIC’s countries and emerging countries will surpass developed countries; rather, the emerging countries will be able to create strong institutions and ensure the rule of law, reduce social inequalities and guarantee a sustainable development for a long period, taking advantage of the economic growth that they are living. This text will be focused on analyzing the need to create, maintain, and promote the rule of law in emerging countries, emphasizing the case of Brazil and Mexico, as these countries are in a decisive moment to determine their future. Keywords Emerging Markets; BRICs; Rule of Law; Latin America; Global Order. Resumo A nova ordem global foi remodelada nos últimos tempos. Novos atores estão surgindo de diferentes partes da Ásia, América Latina e Europa Oriental, mesmo que o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, tente conter essa tendência. As economias emergentes continuam a expandir-se e alguns analistas preveem que ultrapassarão as economias do G7 até 2027. No entanto, a principal questão levantada neste texto não é se os países do BRIC e os países emergentes ultrapassarão os países desenvolvidos mas se estes países poderão criar instituições fortes para garantir o Estado de Direito, reduzir as desigualdades sociais e garantir um desenvolvimento sustentável por um longo período, aproveitando o crescimento econômico que estão vivendo.

Este é um relatório importante, pois foca além dos aspectos usuais utilizados na avaliação do desempenho empresarial. Naturalmente, os resultados econômico-financeiros, o crescimento das receitas, a conquista de participação de mercado são todas métricas importantes, fundamentais para entender a trajetória de qualquer companhia. Mas nós na WEG acreditamos que devemos também avaliar o impacto que temos na vida das pessoas, dos nossos colaboradores e suas famílias, de nossos fornecedores e parceiros de negócios, de nossos clientes e acionistas, bem como daquelas comunidades próximas de nossas operações. Nossa avaliação é que este tem sido ao longo dos anos um impacto amplamente positivo. Importante reconhecimento da evolução de nossas práticas foi a inclusão das ações WEGE3 no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) da BM&FBovespa. A WEG é a única integrante do ISE no segmento de bens de capital. Harry Schmelzer Junior Neste relatório você terá a chance de comprovar nossa avaliação positiva, Diretor Presidente Executivo conhecendo mais sobre nossas atividades e os resultados obtidos. Buscamos elaborar um relatório que vá além da mera listagem de benefícios sociais e programas ambientais. Naturalmente estas atividades existem e são muito importantes. Nossos programas voltados para o bem estar dos nossos colaboradores vão muito além dos benefícios de praxe e nossa preocupação com a preservação ambiental e diminuição dos impactos das nossas atividades sobre o ambiente é reconhecida.
