​Sustainability

We, Eletrobras companies, are committed to contributing effectively, through our business, to the sustainable development of the areas and communities where we operate and to investing in research and the use of new environmentally and socially responsible technologies. In this sense, our Sustainability Management System is based on five main elements: the Eletrobras Companies Sustainability Policy, the Eletrobras Companies Sustainability Management Executive Committee, the Corporate Sustainability Management Indicators System (IGS System), the Value Creation Model and the Integrated Report.

 

Sustainability Policy of Eletrobras Companies

The Eletrobras Companies Sustainability Policy establishes the guidelines that guide our actions in promoting corporate sustainability, ensuring the continuity of business and contributing to sustainable development.

Integrated Reporting

Integrated Reporting follows the framework of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and, as a complement to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) methodology, has been helping companies to better communicate their value creation process to stakeholders. Since 2018, we present our Annual Report in a "full integrated" format. As of 2020, we include the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) sectoral material topics and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

 

Annual Report

Committed to transparency in the relationship with our different stakeholders, we disclose our actions through annual reports.

The 2022 Annual Report presents our main results in 100 different indicators, considering all the set of Eletrobras companies. It is the primary source of environmental, social and governance information of the company and presents financial and operational performance data.

In line with our objective of disclosing reliable information, the 2022 Annual Report was audited by PwC Brasil, according to international verification parameters, and presents an Assurance Report. See also the Independence Statement, issued by PwC.
