ESG
Sustainable development is our priority. Committed to delivering clean and quality energy, we work to make a positive impact on society.
Our commitments are translated into actions that are at the center of Cemig's strategy, with an ambitious sustainability plan addressing issues our audiences are most concerned about.
Our energy matrix is totally clean. We use water, wind and solar sources to meet the energy demand from our more than 8 million consumers.
- A world leader in water management (CDP Water Security);
- Return of 100% of the water used to activate the turbines
- Over 50 thousand tons of industrial waste sent for final disposal
- Greater control and management of deliveries and storage of materials and equipment
We believe that climate change is one of humanity's greatest challenges.
The whole world is watching these rapid changes in climate and temperature characteristics.
And the alert increases every time storms become heavier and droughts become more frequent.
We know that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the most expected solution.
This reduction would consist of shifting from fossil fuels energy systems to renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind energy.
We are proud to be a 100% renewable matrix company. We are part of the change to a more decarbonized world.
Therefore, in 2022, we decided to be Net Zero by 2040.
We have joined the “UN Global Compact's Net Zero Ambition Program,” undertaking to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2040.
We mostly operate in two Brazilian biomes: Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest. Our biodiversity preservation initiatives consist of projects that contribute to maintaining the variety of life and local species richness in said biomes.
Innovative products and processes are of fundamental importance; therefore, we are always in pursuit of solutions for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
