Copel remains
in the B3 ISE portfolio for 2024
COPEL (“Company”), a company that generates, transmits, distributes and trades energy, informs its shareholders and the market in general that, according to the first preview released today, it will continue to be part of the Corporate Sustainability Index portfolio ( ISE) from B3 – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, in 2024. The official portfolio will be in effect from January 2, 2024.
The ISE is a comparative analysis tool and reflects the return of a portfolio made up of shares from companies with the best performance in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) aspects, being a reference for the Company's strategy, providing longevity and sustainability to its businesses. ..
The ISE portfolio assessment process is organized into 5 dimensions (environment, corporate governance and senior management, human capital, social capital and business model and innovation), and a sixth dimension, referring to changes in climate, evaluated through the CDP-Climate Change score (index produced by the international organization Carbon Disclosure Project, used to evaluate companies in relation to issues relating to climate change).
Copel's preferred share (CPLE6) has a 2.15% stake in the ISE composition. The consistency in this index demonstrates that the Company's strategic guidelines are fully compliant with ESG precepts.
