We believe that our work only makes sense if it generates value for society.

Therefore, we also operate in the energy segment.

About 80% of the energy consumption of our operations in Brazil is supplied by our own generation, with emphasis on hydroelectric, solar and wind sources.

For us, life always matters most.

Therefore, the dams of our hydroelectric power plants undergo regular inspections and safety assessments, in accordance with the legislation. The activities are verified by specialized consultants and the results are registered with the competent authorities.

In Brazil, all of our dams have Dam Safety Plans (PSB) and Emergency Action Plans (PAE) filed with the respective city halls.

Canada

We have five hydroelectric power plants (PCHs) in Canada that are responsible for generating approximately 20% of the electricity demand of our Sudbury operations.

Following our standard of inspections and safety assessments, in the province of Ontario, our dams are operated and maintained in accordance with best practices outlined in the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' (MNR) Lakes and River Improvement Act, and by the Water Management Plan of the Espanhol and Vermillion rivers, where the hydroelectric power plants are located.

Energy efficiency

We have an Energy Efficiency Program in our operations with the objective of multiplying good energy consumption management practices throughout the company.

Being energy efficient is essential to taking care of our planet and achieving our sustainability goals. In the program, we create the necessary conditions to seek improvements in energy performance through:

Standardization of energy management processes;

Transparency in performance management;
Multidisciplinary teams for the implementation and management of the Program;
Use of automated energy measurement and management system.

Transmission and distribution

In our operations in Brazil, we have our own lines and substations. In addition, we maintain collaboration with the concessionaires to which we are connected.
