CTG Brasil received, for the fourth consecutive year, the gold seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. The recognition represents the company's work in adopting, classifying and being a reference in the management of voluntary measures for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its operations in the country.

In 2022, CTG Brasil implemented a new tool for collecting and managing data on greenhouse gas emissions, as part of its strategies to minimize the impacts of climate change on the planet. Following all the specifications of the national program and seeking to demonstrate compliance with all integrity and transparency criteria, CTG Brasil began to store, process and have greater traceability of information related to GHGs, ensuring consistency of data collected and subsequently published, resulting in winning the gold seal for the fourth time in a row.

The new system that CTG Brasil has been using works to understand, map and quantify all possible sources of emissions from January to December of each year, evaluating around 250 variables. Based on this data, GHG emissions are calculated, which are subsequently audited and organized in an inventory to be registered in the Public Emissions Registry, a platform that brings together all companies participating in the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program.

The national registry was created in 2008 and is responsible for the GHG Protocol method. Developed by the Center for Sustainability Studies at Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGVces) and World Resources Institute (WRI), in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment, Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBSCD ) and 27 other founding companies, its objective is to encourage companies in Brazil to seek alternatives to climate change and to make it possible to recognize organizations that work with high international quality standards for measuring and managing emissions.

“Receiving this seal for our fourth consecutive year reiterates how our concern for collecting and processing greenhouse gas emissions data can result in strategies and practices that collaborate increasingly positively with our planet”, highlights Simone Santos, Environment specialist at CTG Brasil. CTG Brasil, as one of the largest energy generators in the country, “focuses on contributing to agendas for mitigating changes caused by climate change, protecting the environment and educating future generations”, adds Simone.
