As the result of our engagement in a
sustainable business model, our efforts
are focused on reducing and offsetting
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
being carbon positive. Within our 2030 ESG
Commitments, we have set the following goals:
■To continue to neutralize our greenhouse
gas emissions and be carbon positive
annually;
■By 2025, to offset historical emissions since
the start of our operations - target already
reached in 2022;
■To avoid the emission by our customers of
582,000 tCO2e per year, from 2025; and

Every year we prepare our Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) inventory, based on the Brazil GHG Protocol
Program's methodology and on internal operational
controls. The report consolidates all operational
units - hydroelectric, solar and wind power plants,
in addition to the offices - and is audited by an
independent third-party. In 2022, for the sixth
consecutive time, our 2021 cycle inventory was
awarded the Golden Seal by GHG protocol, the
highest certification level.

1 Amounts are preliminary and subject to change after the release of the updated Brazil GHG Protocol
Program tool. The 2022 GHG emissions inventory was prepared based on the 2021 emission factor,
because until this report was published, there was no updated factor for 2022. Scope 1 includes
CO2, CH, NO, HFCS, PFCs, SF, and NF, gases. Scope 3 includes CO2, CH4, and N2O gases. For
scope 2, MWh is directly translated into CO2 metric tonnes. Scope 3 calculation includes: goods and
services purchased; capital goods; activities related to fuel and energy not included in scopes 1 and 2;
employee commute (home to work).
It does not include Caetés, Ventos do Araripe and Cassino Wind Power Complexes data because
these assets were added to the operational base in December 2022.
2 2021 data has been restated. In the 2021 Integrated Sustainability Report, this figure was 2,099.9 tCO₂e.
However, the grid factor was updated in April 2022. After this update, our inventory was verified by a third
party and published in the Public Emissions Record | GRI 2-4.
