2030 ESG Plan - CPFL Energia | Investor Relations

ESG Plan 2030

To reinforce CPFL Group's commitment to Sustainability and ESG practices, in November 2022, we launched CPFL Energia's "ESG Plan 2030", which provides guidelines and strategies so that we can provide sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy at all times, making people's lives safer, healthier and more prosperous in the regions where we operate. Our goal is to drive the transition to a more sustainable and smart way of producing and consuming energy, maximizing our positive impacts on society.

Annually, its content is revisited, for updates that correspond to the topics of the moment, strategic priorities and advances in the sector. Currently, the 2030 ESG Plan is composed of 18 commitments, organized into three pillars, which underpin the way we conduct our business and execute our strategy: Low Carbon and Energy Security Businesses, Smart and Sustainable Operations, and Shared Value with Society. After all, for CPFL Energia, in addition to delivering results, it is essential to take care of the "how" we deliver them.

Low-carbon business and energy security

Our low-carbon and energy-secure business strategy is guided by the transition to a sustainable and competitive economy, aligned with the global challenges of climate change and the needs of an increasingly resilient energy system.

Smart and sustainable operations

We seek to guide the adoption of practices that increase operational efficiency, the responsible use of resources and the integration of innovative solutions. We work to incorporate principles of eco-efficiency, circular economy, smart energy and sustainable procurement into operations and the supply chain, promoting sustainable performance, innovation and long-term value creation.

Shared value with society

We work to promote people's well-being and strengthen relationships with customers and communities. We seek to ensure a safe and healthy environment, fostering a customer-centric culture, contributing to the social development of the communities where we operate, and promoting diversity as a strategic factor for an inclusive culture and for the generation of sustainable value in the long term.

Corporate Governance

This theme is transversal to the strategic pillars, seeking the best standards of governance and integrity.

Our public commitments

Within the four pillars of the 2030 ESG Plan, we have made 18 voluntary commitments guided by the Company's Strategic Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We identify our greatest opportunities to achieve these goals and, thus, enhance them with more relevant action plans and investments. Annually, these commitments are updated during the preparation cycle of the CPFL Group's Strategic Plan.

The evolution of Sustainability at CPFL Energia

CPFL has included Sustainability in its activities for more than 20 years. With the creation of the CPFL Institute in 2003, the specific actions to support the community became structured private social investment programs. In 2013, Sustainability became a driving force in Strategic Planning and, in 2014, the first version of the Sustainability Platform was created, a tool for managing indicators and targets related to CPFL's social, environmental and economic impacts and risks.

With the challenge of strengthening the integration of Sustainability with the Company's Strategy, in 2020 the 2020-2024 Sustainability Plan was created, consisting of 15 public commitments organized into 3 pillars: Sustainable Energy, Smart Solutions and Shared Value. These commitments were quickly achieved, giving room for the creation of a new, more comprehensive and ambitious plan, the ESG 2030 Plan. Built throughout 2022 and aligned with the Strategic Planning roadmap, the new ESG strategy was validated with leadership and internal stakeholders in November 2022. The unfinalized commitments of the 2020-2024 Sustainability Plan have been incorporated into the commitments of the new plan, to maintain continuous operations.

The ESG 2030 Plan entered in force on January 1, 2023, and is updated annually, as part of the Company's Strategic Planning. Its periodic monitoring is carried out by the Sustainability Committee, the Executive Board, the Strategy, Growth, Innovation and ESG Committee and the Board of Directors.
