Investing in the future means acting every day to leave a sustainable legacy to the next generation. Therefore, we have developed policies and protocols in the environmental, social and governance areas to integrate stakeholders, employees, suppliers, shareholders and our local community to create a positive impact in the environment and society.
Guided by universal principles in the areas of labor, human rights, environment, governance and transparency, the group is an UN Global Compact signatory committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We believe actions speak louder than words. That’s why we invest in real and transparent actions to protect the environment and to maintain an honest relationship with employees, clients, suppliers and the whole society.
For the third consecutive year, the Urca Energia Group is publishing its Sustainability Report. Prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, the report ensures transparency in presenting our ESG strategy, implemented projects, and results achieved throughout 2024. Our commitment to sustainability is an intrinsic value of our corporate culture, present since the Group's founding. In 2024, we joined efforts to mature our governance, maintaining our commitment to generating sustainable value.
We remain signatories of the UN Global Compact, aligned with the principles of sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our business directly contributes to transforming Brazil's energy matrix, preserving the environment and doing good business. We count on our stakeholders — employees, customers, suppliers, and communities — to drive decarbonization for a more sustainable future. For more information about our performance in 2024, we invite you to access the complete Sustainability Report through the links below.

Formed by a multidisciplinary team, with professionals from HR, governance, commercial, operations, financial, engineering, shared services and independent consultants, the ESG Committee is responsible for establishing, implementing and keeping the goals and challenges contained in Urca Energy Group’s conduct policies and for measuring the impact in the environmental, social and governance areas.
Also, every policy follows an implementation plan, according to the Integrity and Compliance Program, so we can involve and train the whole staff members.
Besides governance, other initiatives are under development:
The Urca Energia Group has been publishing its companies’ emissions inventories for three years, in accordance with the guidelines of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, conducted in partnership with FGV. The latest inventories for the Urca Energia Group and Gás Verde, launched in August 2024, are available for consultation at https://registropublicodeemissoes.fgv.br/
By correctly managing the urban and agribusiness residue, we prevent GHG emissions in the atmosphere and also create products according to the circular economy. These renewable solutions, such as biofuel and clean electric energy, are the sustainable and economic replacements for fossil fuels and are paving the way to the energetic transition of several companies in Brazil.
