Inventory will form part of the Public Emissions Registry to support the country in measuring its emissions
State Grid Brazil Holding (SGBH) has been certified with the Gold Seal of the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Program, granted by the Getulio Vargas Foundation. The seal is the highest level of certification of the Program and will be celebrated on October 24, at an annual event to be held in São Paulo by FGV. SGBH's greenhouse gas emission inventories will be attached to the Public Emissions Registry, a platform organized by the Foundation, which is considered the largest database of corporate inventories in Latin America.
– Obtaining the Gold Seal for SGBH is a source of pride and a sign of recognition of our commitment to sustainability practices, contributing to mitigating the effects of emissions on climate change. This is in line with the company’s ESG agenda, which recently became a signatory to the UN Global Compact. This is just part of our journey – says Ricardo Felix, Director of Health, Safety and Environment at State Grid Brazil Holding.
SGBH's qualification to receive the “Gold Seal” certification from the FGV Program came after a long process of diagnosing and reporting direct and indirect emissions related to the company, with data verification by an independent company.
