Copel Geração e Transmissão Supplier Register

Copel maintains an active register of suppliers, enabling pre-registration and subsequent approval of suppliers for participation in contracting processes. For a supplier to be approved, the following criteria are checked:

  • Tax and labor compliance;
  • Compliance and related parties;
  • PEP – Politically Exposed Persons;
  • Legal restrictions.

During the execution of contracts, Copel acts as an inspector to ensure that taxes are paid and to guarantee the labor rights of outsourced employees. Commitments are made not to use irregular child labor and/or labor analogous to slave labor, not to discriminate and to respect the environment.

Copel carries out inspections of the facilities of manufacturers wishing to qualify to supply critical materials and equipment for the expansion, maintenance and operation of the energy distribution network.

In these inspections, aspects relating to technological and manufacturing capabilities, human resources, quality control, production capacity, materials used, manufacturing process and outsourcing rate are analyzed and assessed, as well as the supplier’s quality systems and social and environmental responsibility.
