In our industry, 2022 was a year marked by an important
step towards the full opening of the free energy market
for all high voltage consumers, which means more
customers will be eligible to purchase energy directly
from generators - and we are ready to serve them. We
traded carbon credits for the first time, from the Salinas
(RN) and Mandacaru (CE) Wind Power Complexes and
studied new asset certification possibilities.
Another important lesson of 2022 was to learn how
to operate in a post-pandemic world. We further
appreciated human relations, health, safety and
everyone's well-being. We paid close attention to our
relationship with the communities near our assets,
especially as regards their expectations and needs
in terms of income generation and quality of life. In
this pillar, I am pleased to inform that we have begun
an important water security and productive inclusion
initiative in the semi-arid region of the state of Rio
Grande do Norte, where we are building the Cajuína
Wind Power Complex. Another important achievement
was the implementation of a technical training program
in partnership with Senai-RN. This program is designed
exclusively for women and trained 76 female workers on
the Operation and Maintenance of Wind Farms. And I
am also proud to announce that the Cajuína Wind Power
Complex will be the fully operated by women, replicating
our excellent experience at Tucano.
All these achievements have only been possible
because we rely on a highly skilled and engaged team,
whose development and satisfaction are always in
the forefront of our minds. As a result of these efforts,
for the second consecutive year, we were chosen
as the "Most Awesome Place to Work" in the energy
industry, an award organized by Fundação Instituto de
Administração (FIA), reflecting the opinion of those who
at AES.
We continue to meet the goals set in our 2030
ESG Commitments, and I highlight two important
achievements: we neutralized 100% of our historical
greenhouse gas emissions since the beginning of our
operations (1999) - three years before the scheduled
target, and we also met the goal to have 25% of women
in senior management positions. We are currently close
to meeting the goal of 30% set for 2025.
As a result of a strategy that has responsibility as one
of its pillars, for the second year in a row, we were the
only Latin American energy company with "AAA" grade
in MSCI ESG Rating. Furthermore, we maintained our
"Negligible Risk" rating at Sustainalytics ESG Rating
and for the 16th consecutive year, we will be part of B3's
Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE).
Looking back at our journey, I emphasize how amazing
it is to lead and be part of the AES Brasil team. I would
like to thank all our employees, who remained focused
on achieving our purpose of accelerating the future
of energy, and our customers, communities, business
partners, shareholders, investors and all stakeholders
with whom we have a day-to-day relationship. Thank
you for your trust.
