ENGIE's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

ENGIE is committed to enhancing corporate actions and strategies to reduce its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and has been fulfilling its purpose of acting to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral economy. In addition, it is adapting its practices and processes to the scenario of a fair energy transition to limit global warming compared to pre-industrial levels. Thus, it strives to make a decisive contribution to slowing down climate change and its impacts, aligned with the principles of the Paris Agreement and also the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The company’s purpose and pledges are reflected in its Environmental Policy and other corporate guidelines on the topic, applicable to all of its business units – also including the ENGIE Group’s Non-Financial Objectives.

Tais diretrizes são orientadas por compromissos públicos que integram uma série de iniciativas globais relacionadas ao tema, tais como Science Based Targets (SBT), World Alliance for Efficient Solutions, Caring for Climate, Hydrogen Council, Terrawatt Initiative, Business Leadership Criteria on Carbon Pricing e TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), bem como iniciativas locais como o Pacto Global – Rede Brasil, Coalizão pelo Clima e o Conselho Empresarial Brasileiro para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável – CEBDS.

100% renewable electric energy generation complex in Brazil

Strict control over its own emissions

ENGIE acts guided by clear strategic business decarbonization drivers.

Value-chain engagement

Carbon footprint assessment by activity

Actively developing initiatives based on its management, mitigation and adaptation pillars.

ENGIE maintains a 100% renewable generation complex in Brazil. Its strategy includes business decarbonization, expansion of renewable-source energy, efficient and sustainable solutions for customers, and the involvement of the entire value chain. In addition, the company strictly controls its own emissions, evaluates its carbon footprint, and promotes management, mitigation and adaptation initiatives.

The mitigation pillar stimulates and strengthens additional initiatives besides decarbonization actions, such as the use of renewable fuels for its fleet, using coolant gases with low global warming potential, energy efficiency, and supply-chain engagement.

In the case of the adaptation pillar, mapping and assessing climate risks and opportunities are particularly important, as is the design and preparation of adaptation strategies and plans in line with the guidance and recommendations of the leading scientific and market references. ENGIE remains attentive to market opportunities, and believes that it is crucial for investments in renewable energy, transmission systems and low-impact solutions to go hand-in-hand in the context of the energy transition.

ENGIE remains attentive to market opportunities, understanding it as essential that, in the context of the energy transition, investments in renewable generation, transmission systems, and low-carbon solutions are in harmony.

On a different front, the Company provides solutions in support of other organizations on the path to de-carbonization. To this end, ENGIE offers the market Green Products such as: Carbon Credits, Renewable Energy Contracts (ENGIE-REC), and Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs).

I-RECs

An I-REC certifies that electric energy consumption takes place from renewable sources free from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These certificates are internationally recognized and may be used to offset Scope 2 (electric energy purchase) emissions.

ENGIE-REC and Carbon Credits

An ENGIE-REC, in turn, enables free consumers – in particular large industrial or commercial organizations – to execute agreements to guarantee that the energy consumed by their operations is generated from renewable sources free of GHG emissions. This enables consumer companies to fully offset Scope 2 emissions in their emissions inventory.

Carbon Credits, in turn, may be used to offset Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, including those of years prior to the year of the GHG inventory.

Customer Decarbonization - DeClic

One way to demonstrate ENGIE's positive impact on the energy transition and, consequently, on combating climate change is through the calculation of avoided emissions. This means showing how much greenhouse gases (GHG) the company is preventing from being emitted into the atmosphere by generating energy from renewable sources instead of fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.

To achieve this, the Company uses ENGIE's Client Decarbonization accounting guidelines (DeClic). Built on a thorough review of existing literature, interviews, and workshops with internal and external stakeholders, as well as tests on real case studies, the DeClic tool provides a set of principles that can be applied across all sectors to help reduce GHG emissions.

Quantifying ENGIE's contribution to the decarbonization of its clients is essential to engaging different sectors in its mission to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.
