• Abstract:

  This article addresses the relationship between climate change and energy transformation, focusing on the need for methodological models that translate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) guidelines into management, decision-making, and monitoring routines in organizations in the energy sector. This is an applied research study with a qualitative approach, guided by action research, structured by documentary analysis and the systematization of stages for prioritizing themes, with an emphasis on the exercise of materiality as a mechanism for ranking risks, opportunities, and stakeholder expectations. The methodological proposal organizes an operational path capable of supporting the definition of guidelines, governance mechanisms, and monitoring instruments, maintaining traceability of choices and consistency between strategy, actions, and indicators. The results discussed are preliminary and focus on the implications of the methodological process, without delving into long-term performance evaluation. As a contribution, the article presents a replicable framework to guide the integration of sustainability and productive transformation in complex organizational h y contexts, aligning regulatory requirements, reporting standards, and climate commitments with management.
