Code of Ethics | |||||
The Eletrobras companies have a unified Code of Ethics that guides their internal relationship and interaction with the other segments of society. To ensure compliance with the concepts described in the Code of Ethics of the company and of the Public Ethics Committee, Eletrobras has put in place a management system that is coordinated by the Ethics Committees formally established in each of its companies. (GRI 4.8) Among the principles that underpin these relationships, Eletrobras prioritizes the dignity of and respect for people, lawfulness, sustainability, profession- alism, transparency, impartiality, and integrity. | Responsible As provided in the guidelines described in the Sustainability Policy, in the Integrated Communication Policy, in the Environmental Policy, and in the Codeof Ethics of the Eletrobras Companies, among other regulations that govern the commitment made by the companies to transparency and to the improvement of best practices in their relationship with stakeholders, the Eletrobras companies provide several communication and dialogue channels to address any type of subject. The main channels are the Ombudsman Office, theFale Conosco channel (Talk to Us), and contact by phone and Internet (page 162). Therefore, not only in communication, but also in the relationship with stakeholders, Eletrobras fosters dialogue as early as the planning phase of projects and establishes processes to provide information and clarification to the public about electricity, energy efficiency, and the environmental actions involving the activities of the Eletrobras companies. | 5.Law 12,527/2011 establishes terms and procedures for the disclosure of public information and the procedures for information requests;additionally,itoffers citizens a uniform access standardtofacilitatefinding and gathering information and to become, in the eyes of these citizens, a benchmark in public transparency. | EXTERNAL RELATIONSHIP The relationship channels with the external audience are monitored of the respective areas. The Ombudsman Office:Eletrobras seeks to offer mechanisms that contribute to the strengthening of its relationship with external and internal audiences. The Ombudsman Office is an important channel for this communication; it works in partnership with the Ombudsman Offices of other companies in the electric utilities sector, pursuing transparency in negotiation processes. In 2013, the Ombudsman Office of the Eletrobras holdingreceived 2,551 reports, of which 2,431 (96%) were resolved and 109 (4%) were ongoing as of December 2013.

(GRI EU11) | |||||||
The project for the hydroelectric development of Belo Monte was reviewed in depth to restrict any | |||||||
impacts on the environment and on the population of the area. The pondage was | |||||||
reduced by 60% in relation to the initial project; that is, there will be no reservoir | |||||||
and it will be a run-of-the-river power plant. For comparison purposes, while the | |||||||
national average of flooded area is 0.49 km² per MW installed, at the Belo Monte | |||||||
power plant this ratio is only 0.04 km² per MW installed. Of the 516 km² of its | |||||||
pondage, approximately 228 km² (44%) correspond to the original riverbed. | |||||||
The project will not flood indigenous territories, which will remain untouched by | |||||||
the dam, construction sites, access roads, and other engineering structures | |||||||
required for the construction of the Belo Monte Power Plant. The development of | |||||||
other power plantsupstreamof Belo Monte was discontinued, since they would | |||||||
affect Indigenous territories; this decision was formally made by the National | |||||||
Council for Energy Policy10. No Indigenous communities will be resettled by the | |||||||

In 2013, Eletrobras PROCEL contributed to saving over 9.744 million megawatts- hour (MWh), which represents R$1,052.23 million and which is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately five million households. Additionally, it prevented the emission of 935,000 tCO2eq, which corresponds to the annual emissions of 321,000 vehicles. PROCEL was shortlisted in the Green Project Awards Brazil in the Mobilization Initiative and Product or Service categories. The National Program for the Conservation of Electricity (PROCEL) operates in various fronts: • Municipal Energy Management Program (PROCEL GEM) • Program for Energy Efficiency in Public Lighting and Traffic Lights (PROCEL Reluz) • Program for Energy Efficiency in Environmental Sanitation (PROCEL Sanear) • Program for Energy Efficiency in Buildings (PROCEL Edifica) • Program for Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings (PROCEL EPP) • Program for Energy Efficiency in Industries (PROCEL Indústria) • PROCEL Education • National Center for Energy Efficiency Information (PROCEL Info) • PROCEL Eletrobras Seal • Eletrobras PROCEL Solar Network | Luz Para Todos The National Program for Universal Access To and Use Of Electricity –Luz Para Todos (LPT – Light for All), institutionalized in 2003, aims to provide, by 2014, electricity to the Brazilian rural population who still does not have access to this utility. LPT offers solutions for the use of energy as a tool for the social and economic development of low-income communities, contributing to reducing poverty and increasing family income, in addition to helping retain families in rural areas by improving the quality of life. (GRI EU23, GRI EC9) Access to electricity facilitates the integration of health, education, water supply, and sanitation services and acts as a driver of the social programs of the Federal Government. The program also provides for the free installation of up to three ceiling light boxes (one per room), two power outlets, conduits, light bulbs, and other materials necessary. The initiatives of this program are prior- itized to serve the communities assisted by the Citizenship Territory Program or the Brazil Without Extreme Poverty Plan; rural settlements; Indigenous settlements andquilombolas; communities located within extractive reserves; communities located within the area of influence of energy generation or transmission devel- opments, for which the company is not responsible; schools; health centers; and community water wells. | ||

WATER CONSUMPTION The Eletrobras companies achieved savings of approximately 2% of the total volume of water withdrawn. This drop occurred mainly in administrative processes, due to recycling, conscious consumption campaigns for employees, and the periodic maintenance of distri- bution networks to avoid leakages. Water used by hydroelectric power plants in the generation of electricity is excluded from the consumption because it is returned to the bodies of water from which it is withdrawn; thus, it is not included in this value. Likewise, seawater used by Eletrobras Eletronuclear (approximately 3,186 million m³) to cool the secondary system of the Angra 1 and | 2 nuclear power plants is not consumed; that is, it is fully returned to the sea at Saco Piraquara de Fora, with a slight rise in its temperature, which is constantly monitored to comply with the standards established by law and to avoid any impact on the aquatic wildlife. (GRI EN8) The Eletrobras companies are members of basin councils and committees, reaffirming their commitment to water resource management. | REUSE In 2013, approximately 530,000 m³ of water39were reused, most from rainwater harvesting, which represented 3.8% of the total volume of water used by the Eletrobras companies. Of this total, 92.6% was used in administrative processes, such as the washing of vehicles, irrigation, and the cleaning of administrative spaces, sidewalks, parts, and machinery. (GRI EN10) | WASTEWATER Wastewatergenerated by the production process is treated pursuant to the quality standards required by law before being discharged into bodies of water. According to the information registered into the IGS System by the companies, in 2013 this programmed discharge totaled approxi- mately 5.7 million m³. Of this total, 41.4% was derived from the production process of the Eletrobras companies40. Discharge from administrative processes41totaled 3,493,264.97 m³, of which 100% was treated.

A CORRIDOR CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE | |||
The Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) of Santa Maria is a 242-hectare area located in Santa Terezinha de Itaipu (PR) that integrates the Biodiversity Corridor, a project that seeks to connect natural, governmental, and private areas isolated through deforestation in border areas shared by Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. In order to address this problem, Itaipu Binacional, in partnership with public and private institutions, has been creating biodiversity corridors that enable the free circulation of animals and the dispersion of the genetic material of plants and animals. This project has already built a green connection between the bufferstripofthereservoirofItaipuBinacionalandtheNationalIguaçuParkinthemunicipalitiesofSanta Terezinha de Itaipu and São Miguel do Iguaçu. Commitment to the consolidation of the Santa Maria Biodiversity Corridor, which corresponds to approxi- mately 80 ha of forest in the municipalities of Santa Terezinha de Itaipu and São Miguel do Iguaçu, is the maingoaloftheproject,whichispartofabroadereffort:thecreationoftheTri-nationalAtlanticForest Biodiversity Corridor of Alto Paraná, launched in 2003. | |||

Climate change | |||
In order to face the challenges posed by
| greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), such as the prioritization of renewable energy sources in the company’s project portfolio and the promotion of studies to identify and understand risks and opportunities in the Brazilian electric utilities sector. In 2013, Eletrobrasholdingconducted a case study about the impacts on revenue of the Candiota III Thermoelectric Plant (Eletrobras CGTEE) of the possible regulation of taxation on GHG emissions in Brazil. This study indicated that if applied, it could represent an increase of approximately 10% in expenses and operating costs of this coal-fired power plant. The Eletrobras companies intend to include this type of study in the processes related to their strategic planning, seeking to incorporate regulatory risks into the decision-making process. Another initiative that aims to adapt Eletrobras to any regulatory change related to climate change is its participation in government forums, such as the Brazilian Forum on Climate Change, which seeks to assist the government in the incorporation of climate change issues into the various stages of public policies.

GOALS FOR REDUCING THE GHG EMISSIONS As one of the commitments assumed by Eletrobras to face climate change44, goals for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions were adopted in 2013. A joint effort of the Eletrobras companies resulted in the establishment of these goals, which seek to reduce consumption of fossil fuels in their vehicle fleets (scope 1) and of energy (scope 2) in 2015, based on the baseline consumption of these resources in 2012. Each Eletrobras company has defined its own goals, considering its peculiarities and potential for reducing consumption. This year, the performance of the goals proposed is being evaluated for the first time, with the purpose of ratifying or redirecting the actions underway so they can be achieved by 2015. | ||||||||||||
In addition to the results observed in the previous table, the indirect emissions (scope 3) regarding the consumption of electricity by end consumers (residential, industrial and commercial) based on the emission factor of brazilian grid43. were 1,544,846.69 tons of CO2 for 16,092,153 MWh sold by Eletrobras utilities. The intensity of the scope 1 emissions (direct emissions) of Eletrobras in 2013 base year was 0.055 tCO2e/MWh that is considered low compared to other organi- zations in the electric sector and with an equivalent size in the world. This is due to the majority share of low-intensity sources of GHG emissions in the gener- ation matrix of Eletrobras, reaching 94% of its total net generation. | ||||||||||||

The volume of SOx emissions from Eletronorte has declined due to the decreased consumption of fuel oil and diesel in the company operations. At Eletrobras Chesf, the increased emission of NOx and SOx occurred due to the growth in the use of natural gas and diesel. In turn, the increase in NOx emissions recorded at Eletrobras Furnas can be explained by the greater consumption of natural gas as a result of the larger energy production from this source. | ||||||||||
MONTREAL PROTOCOL Given the fact that chlorine-based refrigerants harm the ozone layer and that Brazil is a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, two units of Eletrobras Furnas, namely the Marimbondo Hydroelectric Plant and Campinas Substation (SE), have started replacing the R-22 refrigerant, the main substance used by the company, with chlorine-free refrigerants such as R-410, among others. (GRI EN26) | Eletrobras Amazonas Energia has replaced the fuel oil used in the operation of four thermoelectric power plants located in the state with natural gas. Eletrobras Furnas has also replaced the fuel used in thermoelectric power plants. The two power plants that the company operates have already replaced fuel oil and are currently powered by natural gas. These initiatives will represent a significant reduction in the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases. (GRI EN18, GRI EN26) | |||||||||

The Eletrobras Eletronuclear alone invested about R$173.6 million mostly in environmental management (R$102.3 million) and remediation of contami- nates sites (R$59 million). Moreover, Eletrobras allocated more than R$35 million towards biodiversity preservation, more than R$7 million in the recovery of degraded areas and more than R$45 million in research and development. The companies also engage in the devel- opment of clean technologies, in energy efficiency programs, in environmental compensation, and in the preparation of inventories and plans for environmental control for permitting purposes. | The Eletrobras companies propose to their stakeholders investments in environ- mental actions and practices through programs intended for the environmental education of communities, the preser- vation of biodiversity, and monitoring of environmental conditions. Each company develops its own actions, which are guided by the Eletrobras Environmental Policy. Program to Reduce Pre-Harvest Slash- and-Burn:eunderway in the states where Eletrobras Chesf operates (Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, and Piauí) to reduce the risks and impacts of fires in fragmented forests, especially near transmission lines, contributing to a decrease in the number of line shutdowns and informing the community about best practices in soil management. Eletrobras Eletrosul also has actions to reduce slash-and-burn. Since 1995, the company has been developing this preventive/educational campaign, which seeks to inform rural landowners located near transmission lines and substations, and the population at large, about the risks of this practice in the areas surrounding these places. As in previous years, in 2013 this campaign was composed of a 60-second ad jingle, broadcast on AM radio stations, especially in the countryside, and shown | on billboards, posters, brochures, caps, and bags to be used in grocery stores. This material was distributed to rural landowners, trade unions, city govern- ments, and other entities involved with the target audience.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion about the information disclosed in the 2013 Annual | |||||||

with Technical Communication (TC) 07/2012 approved by the Federal Accounting Council and | |||||||
prepared in accordance with NBC TO 3000 (Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits and | |||||||
Reviews), issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council - CFC, which is the equivalent to | |||||||
international standard ISAE 3000 issued by the International Federation of Accountants | |||||||
applicable to Non-Financial Historical Information. These standards require compliance with | |||||||
ethical requirements, including independence ones and also that the engagement is conducted to | |||||||
provide limited assurance that the information in the 2013 Annual and Sustainability Report, | |||||||
taken as a whole, is free from material misstatement. | |||||||
A limited assurance engagement conducted in accordance with NBC TO 3000 (ISAE 3000) | |||||||
consists mainly in questions and interviews with the management of Eletrobras and other | |||||||
professionals of the Company involved in the preparation of the information disclosed in the | |||||||
2013 Annual and Sustainability Report and applying analytical procedures to obtain evidence | |||||||
that allows us to make a limited assurance conclusion about the sustainability information taken | |||||||
as a whole. A limited assurance engagement also requires additional procedures when the | |||||||
