Explanatory Notes
1) Gender equality, as well as race, color, disability and sexual orientation, are Copel’s commitments. The Company has a Permanent Diversity Promotion Committee, with the aim of promoting equity and ensuring compliance with human rights, with special attention to vulnerable groups and those subject to discrimination;
2) Copel’s workforce has a lower proportion of women, justified by the characteristics of their activities and the history of entry through approval in a public examination;
3) The analysis of salary equality data between women and men, when done comprehensively, segmenting only by the large groups of the Brazilian Occupation Classification (CBO), such as that adopted by the Ministry of Labor, does not enable a real understanding of all factors that are related to salary aspects, such as career, performance and working time, which directly impact the remuneration practiced for each group;
4) The variation presented in Copel’s average remuneration, which includes discounts and increases, arises from the nature of its activities, with the Company providing an essential and indispensable service to the entire society, susceptible to climatic factors and emergency services, which result in groups predominantly men in field activities, subject to risks that generate hazard pay and with a greater propensity to work overtime and put on notice at significant levels of total remuneration. Furthermore, the segmentation presented in the Ministry of Labor’s report into large groups of the Brazilian Occupation Classification (CBO) compares groups of operational functions with groups of administrative functions, where the difference in additional salaries will obviously be relevant regardless of gender, but rather by nature of the activity;
5) Copel Holding, with CNPJ 76.483.817/0001-20, and Copel Comercialização, with CNPJ 19.125.927/0001-86, have less than 100 employees and are therefore exempt from sending the declaration.
