Copel becomes part of B3's ICO2 portfolio

 

Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL, a company that generates, transmits, distributes and trade energy, with shares listed on B3 (CPLE3, CPLE5, CPLE6), the NYSE (ELPVY, ELP) and the LATIBEX (XCOP), hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that the Company's category “B” preferred shares (“CPLE6”) became part of B3's Carbon Efficient Index (“ICO2”) portfolio, effective as of January 4, 2021.

ICO2 demonstrates the Companies' commitment to the transparency of their emissions and anticipates the vision of how they are preparing for a low carbon economy. The new portfolio will bring together 62 shares from 58 companies.

The entry in the index is the recognition of the measures that Copel has been carrying out in recent years with the objective of reducing the environmental impact of its operational activities. Through its climate change program and specific policy, the Company prepares an annual greenhouse gas inventory and submits verification by an external entity, as well as has emission reduction targets. For this 2019 cycle, the proportion of 0.0122 tCO2 / R$ thousand in emissions was recorded. It is also worth mentioning that Copel has been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact since its constitution and acts to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (“ODS”), primarily in ODS 13 - Action against Climate Change, specifically in business in that acts.
