In recent years, ESG has stopped being just a financial-market buzzword and has become common language in boardrooms, leadership meetings and even hallway conversations.
Brazil is experiencing one of the most decisive moments in its energy history. With an electricity mix already largely renewable—about 88% of generation coming from clean sources, according to data from the Energy Research Company (EPE)—the country now faces a new challenge: financing the sustainable expansion of its infrastructure, diversifying its energy matrix, and ensuring energy security amid the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
The expansion of Brazil’s renewable energy matrix — with strong growth in intermittent sources such as solar and wind, alongside distributed generation — requires not only the construction of new generation projects but also a robust transmission infrastructure.
In a historic milestone for the planet, renewable energy sources — driven by the meteoric rise of solar and wind — surpassed 40% of global electricity generation in 2023. This is not just a number in a report; it is the harbinger of a new era, where the promise of cleaner air, a more stable […]
In 2025, the ESG agenda has consolidated itself as the central force that redefines the Brazilian electricity sector, moving from discourse to practice and becoming a decisive criterion for investments, regulation and risk management. The transformation is led by the Environmental pillar, which has evolved from simple decarbonization to an urgent concern with the climate resilience of infrastructure.
A new Brazilian study highlights the country's potential to offer innovative solutions for combating climate change, aligning with a growing wave of global investments and initiatives focused on sustainability and the energy transition.
In May 2025, the debate over the cost of this transition gained sharper contours, with estimates pointing to the need to channel around 6% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually to finance the change.
With a global average temperature 1.55 °C above pre-industrial levels in 2024, governments accelerate energy transition and urban adaptation to contain environmental and socioeconomic impacts
In a global scenario increasingly pressured by decarbonization goals and the effects of climate change, Brazil recorded a remarkable advance in its transportation matrix in 2024.
In 2015, world leaders signed the Paris Agreement with a clear objective: to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
