Sustainability

Our commitment to clean water and a healthy environment

At EP, we believe that sustainability is essential for the future of our planet and the well-being of future generations. Our commitment to water treatment practices and environmental analysis guides all our actions and decisions.

Our value proposition

We offer customized environmental solutions with superior technical expertise, through advanced technologies and transparent customer relations. Our aim is to guarantee sustainability and quality results, meeting the most challenging environmental demands.

Water and effluent treatment

We use advanced technologies to treat and purify water, ensuring its safe reuse and reducing environmental impact. We have already treated more than 690 million m³ of water, reaffirming our commitment to preserving water resources.

Environmental analysis

Our chemical laboratory services monitor the quality of water, air and soil, helping to preserve the environment. With an infrastructure that includes units in Curitiba, Guarulhos, Piracicaba, Uberlândia and Rio de Janeiro, we serve the entire national territory with agility and responsibility in the transportation of samples.

Reducing pollutants

We have implemented rigorous processes to minimize the emission of pollutants and chemical waste.

Goals and objectives

By 2030, we plan to reach a total of 1 trillion liters of treated water, which is equivalent to supplying the entire Greater São Paulo area for 12 months. We also aim to reduce our water consumption by 30% and reduce the generation of chemical waste by 20%.

Results and impacts

In 2023, we treated more than 1 million liters of water and reduced pollutant emissions by 25%. Our analysis services have helped to identify and mitigate various sources of environmental pollution. In addition, we have already reused more than 39,000 m³ of water, making a significant contribution to conserving water resources.

Partnerships and collaborations

We work in collaboration with various institutions and companies to promote the preservation of water resources and develop new water treatment technologies.

Community engagement

We organize workshops and awareness campaigns on the importance of clean water and environmental preservation. We encourage our clients to adopt sustainable practices through educational programs.

ESG agendas

We are committed to implementing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices to guarantee the transparency and sustainability of our actions. We recently received the ECOVADIS portal seal for starting our management of ESG practices through them. This recognition reflects our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement for our stakeholders.

Alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Our actions are aligned with several UN SDGs, including:
● SDG 6: Drinking water and sanitation – We ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
● SDG 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure – We promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
