Decarbonization Pledge

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.

Such guidelines are guided by public commitments that integrate a series of global initiatives related to the topic, such as Science Based Targets (SBT), the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions, Caring for Climate, the Hydrogen Council, the Terrawatt Initiative, the Business Leadership Criteria on Carbon Pricing, and the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), as well as local initiatives like the Global Compact – Brazil Network, the Climate Coalition, and the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development – 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

ENGIE Brasil Energia adopts a structured, transparent methodology aligned with international best practices to measure the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoided by its electricity generation assets. This approach is based on the GHG Protocol and reflects the Company’s commitment to the transition toward a low-carbon economy, directly contributing to the decarbonization of its clients.

The corporate methodology DeClic (Decarbonization of Clients), developed by the ENGIE Group, guides the calculation of avoided emissions in new projects, ensuring consistency, traceability, and credibility in the results. The approach considers the lifecycle analysis of technologies, incorporating direct and indirect emissions associated with the manufacturing, operation, and disposal of equipment.

This methodology reinforces ENGIE Brasil Energia’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and excellence in measuring its contribution to global emissions reduction, strengthening its engagement with clients, investors, and other stakeholders.
