Environmental Due Diligence

For the Environmental Due Diligence process, a questionnaire was prepared containing questions related to topics such as environmental legislation, impacts and management and good practices, among others. Criteria were defined for classifying suppliers for which a more in-depth assessment is carried out to support actions for monitoring and improving their environmental performance.
The questionnaire has specific questions about water resources, such as water management, liquid effluents, water efficiency and water footprint, aiming to identify suppliers' practices related to this topic. The analysis of the suppliers' responses indicates the need for actions on the part of the Eletrobras companies, which may vary from due diligence to the identification of opportunities to improve suppliers' practices and/or recognition of best practices developed by the supplier and possibilities for sharing with other suppliers.
For identified opportunities for improvement, plans are prepared to guide the actions that will be adopted with suppliers.
