Reduce your company's carbon footprint by up to 99%
In 2022, Grupo Urca Energia published its first sustainability report. The document details our commitment to renewable energy generation and sustainable practices.
The second Sustainability Report of the Urca Energia Group was prepared in compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, ensuring full transparency in presenting the results achieved, policies implemented, and challenges faced throughout 2023. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond a guideline; it is an intrinsic value of our corporate culture, guiding all our decisions and actions. In 2023, we worked to balance business growth with environmental preservation and social responsibility, always aiming to generate positive and lasting impacts for future generations.
As signatories of the UN Global Compact, we remain aligned with the principles of sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), collaborating with our stakeholders — such as employees, customers, suppliers, and communities — to strengthen our performance. We are committed to continuously innovating and addressing global challenges with responsible solutions, maintaining transparency and commitment to a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.

We operate in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), generating clean energy to decarbonize businesses and reduce CO₂ emissions in the atmosphere.
We work to provide our clients with clean energy at a competitive market price.
We generate energy from waste, preventing greenhouse gas emissions.
We eliminate methane from the atmosphere to produce electricity and biofuel.
The silver seal from the GHG Protocol certifies our transparency in emissions reporting.
We operate within the concept of a circular economy, transforming methane produced from waste into biomethane. This prevents the emission of polluting gases and reduces companies' reliance on new fossil fuels.
In 2021, in partnership with BlockC, Brazil's largest carbon project company, we developed the GHG Emissions Inventory for Gás Verde (Seropédica, Nova Iguaçu, and São Gonçalo) following the GHG Protocol methodology. In 2022, we expanded the emissions mapping to all companies within the Urca Energia Group and published this document again on a public platform that consolidates inventories of companies participating in the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. By 2023, with the acquisition of seven new power generation units for conversion into biomethane, we published the 3rd Emissions Inventory for the Urca Energia Group and achieved the silver seal for all units, demonstrating our commitment to robust and comprehensive reporting on the carbon intensity of our activities.
We operate with transparency in all our activities, establishing protocols and policies that guide our team's operations and relationships with stakeholders.
