ESG

We are committed to ESG principles from portfolio to business management

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.

Environment

Urca Trading Energia invests today to transform the energy of the future.

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.
