A Eletrobras, a company associated with CEBDS, has launched a series of podcasts. The first season, called Eletrobras 2030, will be entirely dedicated to sustainability. In the first episode, Eletrobras CEO Wilson Ferreira talks about how sustainability has become a concern in the corporate world and highlights that the company has divested itself of all polluting thermal plants powered by fuel oil and diesel and two of its three coal-fired thermal plants.
According to Wilson Ferreira, investing in sustainability is no longer an option; it is an economic issue. “For example, banks no longer finance this type of investment in coal.” Eletrobras has defined five United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its target for 2030, such as generating affordable and clean energy; decent employment and economic growth; focusing on innovation and combating climate change. “We plan to be one of the most renewable and clean companies in the world,” he said.
