ESG Commitments

Since 2015, we have been committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the UN with the purpose of engaging organizations around the world towards goals such as gender equity, fighting climate change, and preserving natural resources.

2019-2022 Goals

Indexes and Frameworks

Since 2005, EDP Brasil is a member of B3’s Sustainability Index (ISE), composed of companies with high performance levels in ESG aspects.

In 2020, the Company recorded the best performance in its history in the Index Portfolio, the result was 3 points higher than the previous year, with above-average scores in all categories of the survey and was considered a reference in five of the seven categories (General, Social, Environmental, Economic, and Nature of Product).

With this result, effective from January 4, 2021 to December 30, 2021, this will be the 15th consecutive time that the Company is among the most sustainable companies on the Brazilian stock exchange.

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a survey that aims to disclose information about the climate change policies and indicators of companies listed on the world’s main stock exchanges.

In 2020, we reach the leadership level, with an A- rating. The improvement is also relevant for EDP Brasil to be more representative in the ICDPR-70 (CDP – Brazil Climate Resilience Index) portfolio, in which we will participate in 2020.

The current ICO2 portfolio will be in effect from January 4, 2021 to April 30, 2021, being rebalanced every four months, following the updates of IBrX 100. The index comprises 62 stocks from 58 companies listed on B3, which combined represent R$3.3 trillion in market value.

The ICO2 was created in 2010 aiming to be an indicator of the discussions about climate change in Brazil. 

EDP’s adhesion to ICO2 reinforces the commitments that the Company had already adopted in June 2020 with the United Nations – “1.5ºC Business Ambition” and “Recover Better”, which reiterate its goals in the search for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and which aim to contain the effects of global warming, strengthening its commitment to the ethical and sustainable development of its business.

TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)

From the standpoint of the global sustainability targets adopted by the group, EDP Brasil has committed to implement the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) by 2022.

These recommendations aim to promote transparency by disclosing information related to Climate Change Management in a format intended primarily for an investor audience. In 2020, we conducted initiatives that are related to the TCFD pillars (Governance, Strategy, Risks and Opportunities, and Metrics and Goals), incorporating nine of the initiative’s 11 recommendations:

SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board)

SASB, originally created in the US in 2011, aims to support companies in identifying, managing and reporting their ESG issues.

The reporting model promoted by the SASB includes a set of sustainability standards that can be applied in 77 different sectors and identify environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that can represent material impacts on a company’s financial performance.
