Environmental certification 介≡< 77> In all our programs and initiatives, we aim to go beyond legal requirements, protocols, agreements, as well as other duties and obligations, as outlined in our 2030 ESG Commitments, which drives us to take leaps toward solid sustainable performance. In 2022, we prepared the Salinas, Mandacaru and Ventus Wind Power Complexes, acquired in the previous year, and the Tucano Wind Power Complex, still under construction, to be accredited by the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001), in order to update and adapt the environmental management of these units to our culture and processes. Furthermore, in 2022, we were able to resume on-site audits, on-site inspections and environmental walks at our units. At year-end, it was possible to carry out the internal audit to maintain the SGI's certification, which encompasses the Environmental Management and the Health and Safety Systems. Certified under the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, the model complies with the Sustainability Policy's guidelines and is structured based on the SGI Manual and on managerial and operational proceedings. Strip cropping Prior to this, we had already performed the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) audits required by AES Corporation. The protocols were applied in our solar (Guaimbê and Ouroeste) and wind (Tucano and Cajuína) businesses. A research conducted by AES Brasil in partnership with the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) on a new planting arrangement for ecological restoration was one of the highlights in 2022. The work was published by the specialized magazine Abes (Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais), on the March 31, 2022 issue, after presenting expressive scientific results for improving the development conditions of tree seedlings. The technique reduces planting costs, since the plants develop closer together and form an overlay in less time, encouraging natural regeneration. The initiative, which will go to the market, showcases our efforts to enter into partnerships in the search for differentiated solutions and innovations. 2022 Integrated Sustainability Report > Responsibility aes Brasil
