Topics

Targets and Commitments

In harmony with our mission, vision and values, and always seeking to continuously improve our performance and adopt best practices, we seek to engage in initiatives and commitments that lead us in this direction, such as those described below.

Sustainability Strategy

Between 2020-2022, TAESA consolidated its growth trajectory through the implementation of the Sustainability Project (a set of 21 initiatives, including adherence to the UN Global Compact and SDGs, the GRI methodology, GHG Inventory, etc.), with the purpose of making the Company a benchmark in the area of Electric Power Transmission in Brazil. In 2022, the executive board approved the action plan and goals for material topics in accordance with GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) requirements linked to the 2030 Agenda referring to the Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs, aligned and integrated with TAESA’s strategic planning in the Sustainability Pillar.

6 material topcis:

1. Ethics, transparency and corporate integrity;
2. Mitigation and adaptation to climate changes;
3. Environment and biodiversity;

4. Relationship with local communities;

5. Management, people development, diversity and inclusion; and

6. Health, safety and quality of life.

Action Plan and Goals – material topics linked to the 2030 Agenda – SDGs,

Such initiatives and other good practices represent sustainability opportunities for TAESA and the stakeholders with whom the company shares its value.

United Nations Global Compact

Aiming to corroborate its contribution to sustainability, TAESA joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2019, an initiative that promotes a dialogue between companies, corporations and UN bodies on social and environmental responsibility policies.

The Compact is currently the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, with over 13,000 members spread across 160 countries. The central idea of the Global Compact is to promote the social dimension of globalization. To this end, this initiative seeks to engage the international business community in ten principles related to Human Rights, decent work, the environment and the fight against corruption.

Below are the seven principles:

High-level corporate leadership

Worker health, safety and well-being

Race is Priority Movement

In 2023, we joined the UN Global Compact initiative in partnership with CEERT and UN Women to promote ethnic-racial equity in Brazilian companies.

Economic

Committed to sustainable growth, TAESA strives toward operational excellence, ensuring profitability and financial discipline, incorporating sustainability criteria, policies and operational practices that augment the company’s competitiveness, while promoting the improvement of socioeconomic conditions in communities, such as a shared value.

We adopt the best financial practices and instruments, as well as investment and financing decisions. By doing so, we promote positive economic impacts that contribute toward boosting and/or leveraging of the local economy (through the installation of assets and infrastructure, creation of jobs, etc.) and all the associated benefits, providing for improvement in people’s quality of life.

This is a win-win relationship, whereby the company – in promoting local development by driving the economy and developing programs – shares value with society and acts with environmental responsibility.

These initiatives facilitate access to financing with favorable counterparts (lower interest rates), which enables the expansion of activities and assets, such as the issuance of green bonds.

 

Green Bonds

Green Bonds, also known as Climate Bonds, are securities issued to raise funds for investments in projects that have sustainability-oriented premises, through socioenvironmental controls and the respective mitigation of their impacts.

In a historical context, the world’s first Green Bond was issued by the World Bank in November 2008, giving rise to a sustainable process in the capital market. The issuance of this first paper demonstrated to the world how it was possible to relate sustainability with profitability.

According to the guidelines of these securities, which use the Green Bond Principles (GBP) as a methodology, it is acknowledged that transmission lines in Brazil contribute to the flow and transmission of renewable energy in the National Interconnected System (SIN).

Proceeds from the issuance of green bonds for TAESA will be used for future payments and reimbursement of project costs related to electricity transmission. These assets bring environmental benefits, since their construction will increase the availability of the National Interconnected System (SIN) for renewable energy;

Reinforcing our commitment to transparency, we joined the Inter-American Development Bank’s (IDB) Green Bond Transparency Platform (GBTP) in August 2021, designed to promote transparency in the green bond market in Latin America and the Caribbean. Through GBTP, it is possible to harmonize and standardize the reports on green bonds and allow the market, in general, to analyze the resources of the securities invested and what environmental performance has been achieved. This action provides the capital market with relevant information on the Company’s environmental performance, which makes it even more interesting to new and current investors.

The environmental benefit generated by the projects is associated with the increase in the volume of non-conventional renewable energy transmission (wind, solar, biomass thermoelectric plants, and small hydros). This benefit will be demonstrated by the changes in the “Indicator of transmission services provided to Green Users”.
