Code of Conduct

For Copel, the Code of Conduct is one of the pillars of the Company’s Governance and Integrity. The document aims to establish the foundations of ethics, integrity and governance that govern relationships between Copel’s most diverse stakeholders.

Copel’s Code of Conduct was adopted for the first time in 2003. Over the years there have been revisions that made the document more appropriate to the Company’s reality.

In 2022, the Code of Conduct underwent a reformulation to modernize its structure and address the most recurring themes identified in the Company’s risk, internal controls and compliance structure. This version was approved on July 13, 2022 by the Board of Directors

The Code of Conduct applies to all employees (regardless of their role or hierarchical position), administrators (members of the Board of Directors and Executive Board), members of the Supervisory Board and members of statutory committees, as well as interns, suppliers, service providers services and outsourced. This Code of Conduct covers Copel Holding, wholly-owned subsidiaries, affiliates, controlled companies and jointly-controlled companies.

Since the adoption of the Code of Conduct, no implicit or explicit exceptions to any section of our code have been granted to the people to whom it applies.

Code of Conduct for Suppliers

The Code of Conduct for Suppliers establishes guidelines for an ethical, sustainable partnership that is aligned with the Company’s values and purposes.

The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to clearly set out the guidelines that must be followed by all of the Company’s suppliers. It aims to demonstrate the ethical principles that should guide business conduct, encouraging the adoption of practices that ensure transparency and compliance in business, as well as reinforcing the importance of commitment to human rights and the environment.

The document is in line with the Company’s Code of Conduct and complements the contracts entered into with our suppliers, without, however, replacing the provisions contained in the contracts with Copel.

The Supplier Code of Conduct was approved on December 11, 2024, by the Board of Directors.
