The Group's values are shared with more than 8,000
suppliers that form a healthy ecosystem. Through the
Supplier Assessment, Selection, and Monitoring policies,
a reliable and competitive supply base is formed, capable
of supporting everything from implementation to
business maturity.
The use of local suppliers and support to increase the
performance and capacity of these commercial partners
to meet the utility company's demand for quality
products and services within the municipality aims to
foster economic development and the growth of micro,
small and medium-sized companies, including individual
micro-entrepreneurs. Consequently, it reduces informal
work in the local economy, promotes tax collection, and
increases public revenue.
In 2021, a supplier management risk matrix was structured,
with a formal evaluation of what was already done,
strengthening the process. Approaching the suppliers
of critical products, such as chemicals and hydrometers,
gave robustness to the evaluation, selection, and
monitoring processes, focusing on avoiding ruptures in
supply and managing groups of materials that need more
specific follow-ups. Even in the face of the pandemic,
there was no disruption or disruption of services due to
this process.
The Group also cares for local communities by engaging
its suppliers. The Third Party Code of Conduct seeks to
ensure that the suppliers carry out their operations
with a high degree of integrity and in a socially and
environmentally responsible manner. In 2021, 99.78%
(449/450) of new suppliers were selected considering
social and environmental criteria by adhering to the
Code at the time of their approval. These premises are
also guaranteed by the internal supplier evaluation and
selection procedure. 308-1 | 414-1
In 2021, 249 suppliers were contracted under labor
assignment, which could consequently present
significant risks of child labor, young people exposed
to hazardous work, and forced or compulsory labor,
representing 492 (10%) of the 4,849 contracts carried
out. These risks are subject to documentary controls,
consultation of government lists, third-party integration
and management actions, contractual clauses, and
evaluation questionnaires, and no cases were recorded.
During the year, 372 suppliers were investigated, with
one provider identified as causing potential negative
impacts. The contract was monitored until its termination
after the situation was identified, without subsequent
rehiring. 408-1 | 409-1 | 414-2
In 2021, 99.78% (449/450) of new
suppliers were selected considering
social and environmental criteria, by
adhering to the Third-Party Code of
Conduct at the time of their approval.
