Itaipu Binational is a world leader in the production of clean and renewable energy and does not emit significant quantities of greenhouse gases (GHG) in its operational processes.

To reinforce its commitment to mitigate actions that contribute to global climate change in 2016, Itaipu renewed its Commitment Statement with Eletrobras for the 2016-2020 horizon.

In this Statement the plan of absolute and relative targets to be met annually was presented, for the three scopes of the GHG Protocol Brazil. They refer to the reduction of electricity consumption, fuels of fossil origin in the entity's vehicles, and distances traveled by employees and visitors on flights contracted in airlines. The GHG emissions inventory is available in the following table and the breakdown of targets and performance in 2017 was discussed in the Corporate Governance chapter (pages 14-17).
