Urca Trading is building a sustainable legacy for future generations. For this reason, we develop policies and protocols for action in the environmental, social and governance areas, allowing alignment between employees, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate. All of this to positively impact the environment and the society.
Just like Urca Energia Group, which joined the Global Compact, proving its commitment to acting in accordance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Urca Trading is also committed to universal principles in the areas of work, human rights, environment, governance and transparency.
After all, respect for the environment and relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and the society as a whole is one of Urca Trading’s non-negotiable principles.

The second Sustainability Report of the Urca Energia Group was prepared in compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, ensuring full transparency in presenting the results achieved, policies implemented, and challenges faced throughout 2023. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond a guideline; it is an intrinsic value of our corporate culture, guiding all our decisions and actions. In 2023, we worked to balance business growth with environmental preservation and social responsibility, always aiming to generate positive and lasting impacts for future generations.
As signatories of the UN Global Compact, we remain aligned with the principles of sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), collaborating with our stakeholders — such as employees, customers, suppliers, and communities — to strengthen our performance. We are committed to continuously innovating and addressing global challenges with responsible solutions, maintaining transparency and commitment to a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.

Formed by a multidisciplinary team, with professionals from the areas of HR, governance, commercial, operations, finance, engineering, shared services and independent consultants, the ESG Committee establishes, implements and acts as guardian of goals and challenges established by the company’s code of conduct, measuring its impacts in the environmental, social and governance areas.
Each policy has an implementation and training plan as part of the Integrity and Compliance Program, to ensure alignment with all employees.
In addition to governance instruments, other initiatives are under development, which are:
Launched in 2022 for Gás Verde and then expanded to the other companies in the Group, it has a partnership with NINT (formerly Sitawi), the largest ESG consultancy and assessment company in Latin America.
The Urca Energia Group has been publishing its companies’ emissions inventories for three years, in accordance with the guidelines of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, conducted in partnership with FGV. The latest inventories for the Urca Energia Group and Gás Verde, launched in August 2024, are available for consultation at https://registropublicodeemissoes.fgv.br/
Impartial recommendations on priorities and opportunities for social investments and tax incentive laws. To achieve this, we have a partnership with Instituto da Criança, an organization specialized in the management, implementation and support of social projects.
We believe that it is possible to do great business without neglecting the preservation of the environment.
Therefore, we sell clean energy (with a certificate that guarantees the renewable origin), and we defend a free market, where companies can choose who they want to buy their energy from, with much more freedom.
The Urca Energia Group supports, through Gás Verde, one of the group’s companies, the Nova Iguaçu FC social project, an initiative that serves 330 children and adolescents free of charge from various locations in Baixada Fluminense, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
This project promotes practice, sport’s values and offers physical activities, medical and psychological care, and food, meanwhile integrating the benefiting families.
This recognition is the result of Urca Energia Group’s efforts to ensure that its teams’ rights and duties are respected, as well as to ensure that our values and codes of ethics and conduct are transmitted with clarity and transparency.
