ESG Strategy
The global restriction scenario, generated by the Covid-19
pandemic and climate change, brought about the need for
an unprecedented performance by organizations in 2021,
with reflections and structural actions on the business
model, governance, operations, cash management, and
climate crisis. 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.
