This study seeks to analyze and identify sustainable practices carried out by a Cosmetics Company in two countries: Brazil, where its subsidiary is located and in the United Kingdom, where its head office is based, with more established sustainable practices. In order to carry out the study, examples of sustainable socioenvironmental actions were analyzed and collected in the literature and in websites of recognized institutions as examples of sustainable good practices, to compare later them with practices used by the Cosmetics Company. Thus, this paper presents a comparative analysis between existing environmental policies used in Brazil and England, and how they affect the practice and management of the same company in these two countries. In both cases, socioenvironmental sustainability actions were identified as an effective part of each company organizational culture, but there are also differentiated positions in some areas of action, as well as significant differences in socioenvironmental and business policies of both countries.

Since WHO’s declared the COVID 19 pandemic in March 2020, there has been a significant increase in domestic violence rates. Social isolation and hygiene practices are the most effective measures to prevent the spread and containment of the virus. Several feminist, national and international NGOs and societies have warned through their publications and social networks about these significant increases in this period. This chapter addresses this fact, through a systematic survey of these publications (e.g. UN Women, Patricia Galvao Institute) and papers published in some relevant Journals (e.g. The Lancet). This reflection aims not only to contribute to the ongoing research, but also to present strategies related to SDG 5, and to offer proposals and approaches to face the challenges related to Gender Equity.
