Socio-environmental aspects

Actions

As part of our commitment to the environment, we worked to minimize the environmental impact during construction. Here are our actions:

• Construction of taller towers to avoid the suppression of native vegetation.
• Cable installation using drones, which prevented interventions in approximately 25 hectares of Atlantic Forest, preserving native vegetation.
• Planting of 4.95 hectares of native vegetation, in accordance with CETESB (Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo).
• Donation of five thousand seedlings to the municipality of Flórida Paulista, in the interior of São Paulo state.
• Sending 100% of the recyclable waste generated during the construction of the project for recycling.

Understand the Environmental Licensing Process

The installation of a new transmission system can alter the natural landscape. Therefore, we conduct Environmental Impact Assessments to evaluate alternatives for preventing, reducing, and mitigating environmental impacts, such as searching for alternative areas for project installation.

With this perspective, we plan management actions that include defining mitigation measures, environmental control plans and programs, and initiatives to enhance positive impacts.

Some of the actions we undertake in this area include:

According to the licensing process and its conditions, different operational measures are defined and implemented to mitigate impacts on biodiversity.

Some highlights include:

• Modification of the transmission line routes and substation locations to avoid interference with conservation areas or areas of interest for traditional communities;
• Elevation of towers and cable placement using drones to minimize the need for vegetation clearing;
• Technical management and oversight of contractors hired for construction and infrastructure services;
• Implementation of reforestation and forest restoration projects;
• Monitoring programs for local wildlife before, during, and after project implementation;
• Adoption of environmental programs to raise awareness among local communities and populations.

All our operations adhere to best sustainability practices. Learn how we approach this topic.
