SASB IF-EU-140a.1, IF-EU-140a.3
Water is an intrinsic resource to energy generation
and is essential to hydroelectric generation. Therefore,
several dimensions are taken into account when we
manage this resource.
We annually assess the status of our units in areas
of water stress, using the World Resources Institute's
(WRI) Aqueduct Risk Atlas platform. In 2022, three
HPPS (Caconde, Limoeiro and Euclides da Cunha,
all in SP) and four wind farms (Alto Sertão II, Salinas,
Ventus and Mandacaru) were located in regions with
high or extremely high overall water risk, according to
the platform's parameters verified in January 2023. For
human consumption, cleaning and gardening processes,
these operations used 2,073.62 cubic meters in the
year, equivalent to 24.3% of total water consumed by
AES Brasil's assets.
Every year, we conduct an internal awareness-raising
campaign about the correct use of water. The Chief

management at AES Brasil. The leadership of the water

governance stance, as the Operations Officer is
part of the Sustainability Committee, an advisory
body to the Board of Directors.
We report our Water Security performance to
the Carbon Disclosure Program (CDP) and we
joined the Water Resilience Coalition, led by the
UN, which makes commitments to recognize
the urgency and relevance of concrete actions
in pursuing water resilience in our operations,
promoting universal access to water and basic
sanitation and protecting the watersheds where
we operate.
