Environmental and Social Responsibility Plan of the CPFL Group: The Secret of Success Goes Beyond Renewable Energy
It is thanks to this plan that the company enjoys a positive reputation today as a company with excellent environmental capabilities.
In this regard, it is important to understand that besides renewable energy, CPFL has also been using other means to optimize electricity distribution, such as upgrading networks and meters through digitization and awareness campaigns directed at its audience for more conscious electricity use.

Additionally, CPFL is committed to managing and monitoring the environmental impacts of its operations as responsibly as possible. In this sense, it is interesting to list some of the public commitments the company has made, which are likely to keep CPFL in the ISE portfolio for longer.
Among the commitments that CPFL made regarding renewable energy:
- Maintain at least 95% of renewable energy sources in the generation portfolio by 2024;
- Reduce carbon intensity by 10% by 2024;
- Publish CPFL Energy’s actions for climate change adaptation;
- Upgrade at least 40,000 pieces of equipment, including transformers and voltage regulators, by 2024, aiming to make energy transmission more efficient;
- Ensure 100% of key network components are reused or recycled by 2024.
