OUR VALUE CREATION | Natural capital
We understand that climate change
is one of the largest global threats to
health in the 21st century. Aware of our
role in protecting public health against
climate change, we have been working
on different fronts over the last years
to reduce our emissions and expand
our response capacity in view of the
proposed challenges.
One of 2021 highlights was the
publication of our Policy on Climate
Change, approved by the Board
of Directors, which lays down the
company's main guidelines and
commitments to manage climate
change risks and impacts on our units
and business, providing mitigation and
adaptation mechanisms.
To raise the awareness of our employees
about this topic's importance and
spread our practices, we launched
a Distance Learning training named
"Sustainability Tracks", which includes
training on Sustainability Concepts,
Climate Change and the Sustainable
Development Goals. We also held an
event about Climate Change to all our
employees, with the attendance of UN's
Global Compact team and a webinar to
our leadership on the same subject.
In order to showcase our transparency
and commitment towards the climate
change challenges ahead, since 2016,
Rede D'Or São Luiz has participated
in the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program,
which established the methodology
to take stock of greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG). In the last reporting
cycle, we had already finished doing
inventory of 48 units, of which 47 are
certified by the Brazilian Association
for Technical Standards (ABNT). We
now have 78 inventories certified by the
same independent body in the 2022
cycle, related to year 2021. Complete
information regarding GHG inventories
will be published in 2022, in the Public
Record of Emissions (https://www.
registropublicodeemissoes.com.br).
As part of our strategy towards
sustainable development and our
commitment to the United Nations'
(UN) Global Compact principles, in
2021, we began to develop a Carbon
Management Plan, which is under
approval stage and includes Rede
D'Or São Luiz's entire journey in terms
of Climate Change. Climate change
impacts and the actions needed to
minimize risks and enjoy business
opportunities are considered in the 2021
Corporate Risk Matrix (Climate Risk).
We have set goals to reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in
line with the Brazilian reduction goals
(Nationally Determined Contributions -
NDC) set forth in the Paris Agreement,
and UN's Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG). Therefore, we established
projects and practices targeted at
reducing emissions, especially in Scope
1 and 2 sources.
In 2021, we published the GHG
inventory for Rede D'Or São Luiz's
36 hospital units for the first time on
the Public Inventory Record website,

a platform developed by the GHG
Protocol. This information provides
grounds to prepare our Carbon
Management Plan, with risk mitigation
and adaptation to climate change.
Some steps already performed include
the definition of carbon reduction goals
in line with the commitment made with
the Race to Zero, of zeroing our net
emissions by 2050. (Learn more about
the Race to Zero on page 90).

1. Inventories prepared in 2021 for the 2022 cycle include hospital units, oncology clinics and labs.
2. The significant increase in emissions, especially scope 1 emissions, arise from the acquisition of new hospital
units and the measurement of emissions from oncology clinics and diagnosis labs that were not included in the
previous cycle.
3. Emission factors have been updated according to the GHG Protocol methodology for the 2022 cycle (2021),
which impacted the volume of emissions, especially for scopes 2 and 3.
