Gender and Race Equity and Diversity

The search for equal opportunities for all people - regardless of sex, color, ethnic group, age, sexual orientation, social origin, physical or mental capacity - is one of our commitments related to the human rights and non-discrimination. This commitment is stated in the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Eletrobras Companies and in our guidelines of social responsibility.
 

Gender and race equity

All our companies have unified policies and share experiences and the development of practices focused on gender issues. In order to contribute to the appreciation and empowerment of women, in August 2010, we adhered to the seven Women's Empowerment Principles, thus reinforcing our commitment to gender equity and respect for human rights. The Women's Empowerment Principles are the result of a partnership between UN Women and the UN Global Compact, to which we are signatories.
  

In January 2022, Eletrobras companies received the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index 2022 Seal, integrating the group of 418 institutions, in 45 countries and regions, that are committed to transparency in the disclosure of data on gender equality.


The global benchmark assesses gender equality across five pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline; pay equity and gender pay parity; inclusive culture; anti-sexual harassment policies; and pro-women brand. The seal attests that the companies included in the index adopt the best practices on the subject.
