Aware of these challenges, the Águas do Brasil Group established integrated strategies to face the pandemic's impacts by implementing measures focused primarily on caring for employees and maintaining the provision of quality services to customers. This movement has intensified the improvement and creation of governance processes, institutional responsibility, and commitments to sustainable development. The enhancement of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices aligned with the global United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was a strategy defined by the company in 2021. This commitment was materialized in the year with the adhesion to the Brazil Network of the Global Compact and unfolded with the Group's ESG Strategy review, carried out with the support of an external consultancy. 102-12 As the focus of action of the ESG Strategy, in direct relation to the business focus, is SDG 3 - Health and well-being and SDG 6 - Clean water and sanitation. The company also contributes directly to SDGs 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent employment and economic growth), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), 12 (Responsible consumption and production), 13 (Action against global climate change) and 16 (Peace, justice and effective institutions). More information on the actions developed in each pillar is available in the next chapters of this report.
