Copel has maintained, since 2018, the Human Rights Program, aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and founded on the following practices:-
- analysis, development and refinement of Copel’s policies and regulations for prevention, inspection and mitigation of violations;
- production and dissemination of didactic materials, with information about Copel’s denunciation channels to be accessed, in case violations are identified;
- holding courses, lectures and awareness-raising actions aimed at the internal public, outsourced employees, the production chain and the local community;
The Human Rights Program is related to the Sustainable Development Goals, especially to SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth, which is one of the 6 SDGs prioritized by Copel and the 5 prioritized by the Brazilian electricity sector.
