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.

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.
