Workforce Engagement

Themes related to sustainability and climate change are part of our cultural transformation project. Therefore, we develop actions to engage our own employees and other professional service providers to increase knowledge and encourage reflection on the subject. Awareness of these issues helps our workforce understand and collaborate in discussions about our corporate choices and can correlate their daily activities with our goals and challenges.

In 2022, our main initiative to extend knowledge and opportunities for personal and professional development to employees on the subject was the launch of two Distance Education modules on Climate Change Mitigation. In the first module, we discussed the concept of climate change, the scientific basis that describes the greenhouse effect, the consequences for the environment, related entities and agreements, and the importance of an emissions inventory. In the second module, we reflected on the treatment given to the climate issue by the energy industry and presented our commitments, strategies, indicators, and ongoing actions for the reduction and neutrality of our emissions.

By the end of 2022, around 70,000 people had successfully completed the two training modules, including employees and service providers. Considering only our own employees, participation in training reached 95%.

We also included the Climate theme in our leadership training program, “Corporate Challenges for Leaders 2022”. The program comprises essential corporate topics for all of our leadership, and the 2022 edition had more than 6,000 participants.

The concern with climate change was also present in the third edition of “Game da Saúde” (the Health Game), an internal health promotion initiative aimed at our employees and service providers. In this edition, we created 5 Climate Challenges and prepared a Booklet on Carbon Footprint, intending to make our workforce aware of the impact of routine personal choices on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the 21 days of the initiative, the participants’ engagement resulted in more than 100,000 actions for the climate, related to the use of energy, transport, food, and waste disposal, avoiding the emission of approximately 138 tCO2e.
