How can science and technology advance social sustainability in dairy farming? A study presented at the ADSA 2026 Annual Meeting uses data from 326 Brazilian dairy farms to show how the BEA Score transforms animal welfare data into applied scientific knowledge.

Originally published by Agência Sebrae and widely distributed in the media, this report presents the first structured carbon footprint assessment of 80 dairy farms participating in Sebrae Minas' Educampo program. The study highlights the relationship between productivity, farm management and sustainability, supported by ESGpec's PEC Calc, BEA Score and ESG Farm Score technologies.

ESGpec has been selected for the MassChallenge Switzerland & UK 2026 accelerator, one of the world's leading startup acceleration programs. Chosen from 1,961 applicants across 47 countries, the Brazilian startup joins a global cohort of innovators advancing sustainability, climate solutions and resilient food systems through the World Food Forum Startup Innovation Awards track.

Heloise Duarte, cofounder of ESGpec, was a finalist at the Women in Action 2026 Award by Insper in the Technological Innovation category. The recognition highlights climate-tech solutions for ESG measurement and management in dairy supply chains.
