The company claims that one of its universal commitments is to ensure that its projects contribute to the eradication of poverty, in the fight against hunger and social inequalities. The company's undertakings will change the lives of thousands of families in the backlands of Bahia.

Municipalities will be positively impacted by this initiative

There are 15 municipalities punished by the effects of climate change, such as drought and desertification, which will be impacted through income transfer, job creation, on account of renewable energy projects.

These projects will contribute to accelerating the energy transition to combat global warming and alleviate climate suffering on planet earth. The company's five hybrid complexes will prevent the emission of 32 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. It's like we plant 224 million trees a year.

“The purpose of Quinto's existence is to be great not only in the portfolio of projects, but mainly to be a giant in social transformation and environmental contribution. We joined the Global Compact and committed to periodically reporting on our progress against the SDGs.

Being officially announced as a member of this initiative fills us with pride, but also increases our commitment to the world we live in”, celebrates Rafael Cavalcanti, CEO of Quinto Energy.
