About Us

Our History

In recent years, organizations have sought to define and develop practical, time-tested guidelines that have real-world applications in industry. Américo Diniz, a professional with nearly 40 years of experience in process risk management and an emeritus Fellow of the CCPS, recognized the need to advance this field within Brazil and expand it to other countries with significant industrial potential, such as most Latin American nations.

RSE was established as a center of excellence to support its clients in operational and business risk management, as well as in the sustainability of their operations and the achievement of global results. This has certainly not been an easy task.

But we work with our clients to do exactly that—and much more.
