Water Resources
Integrated and sustainable water management
AXIA stands out for its renewable energy matrix, with 97% of its energy generated from hydropower, making water a fundamental and strategic resource for the company. Contributing to the protection of this resource means investing in the long-term sustainability of our operations.
Efficient and integrated management, based on the rational and sustainable use of water, is one of the guidelines of Axia’s Environmental Policy and Water Resources Policy, updated in 2025.
Water Use Efficiency
Continuous monitoring, strategic governance, and initiatives to reduce consumption and improve water efficiency
Water Quality Monitoring
AXIA conducts periodic monitoring of water quality in water bodies associated with its hydroelectric assets, in accordance with the parameters established by CONAMA Resolutions 357/2005 and 430/2011.
ECOINFRA
Ecoinfra is a water and energy efficiency program aimed at implementing effective solutions for the efficient use of water, energy, and waste in administrative facilities.
In 2025, a reuse pilot project began with the implementation of rainwater harvesting in Guamá (PA), with plans to expand the initiative to other company units.
Water Working Group
In 2024, a Water Working Group was established within the Socio-environmental Committee to discuss strategic issues related to water management.
Throughout 2025, the group led the update of Axia’s Water Resources Policy and developed initiatives focused on water stress assessment in the basins where the company operates.
Our Target
Our target is to reduce our water consumption by 20% by 2030, considering both operational and administrative activities.
In 2025, we achieved a strongly reduction related to the divestment of thermoelectric plants.
Innovation and Commitments
Awareness, impact assessment, and commitments to strengthen water security
New Business Commitment to Water Security
During COP30, CEBDS relaunched the Brazilian Business Commitment to Water Security, of which Axia is a signatory. The updated commitment focuses on concrete actions and incorporating risks associated with climate change.
Water Footprint
A dedicated module for water footprint assessment is currently under development within Axia Energia’s footprint calculator. This tool will enable evaluation across different types of assets, helping to map operational impacts and support actions to minimize them.
Awareness
In 2025, we developed a training program to raise employee awareness about the sustainable use of water, strengthening a culture of shared responsibility and contributing to more efficient use of water resources.
Life Cycle Assessment
In partnership with Cepel, we developed a methodology to adapt international water footprint best practices to the realities of energy generation and transmission technologies in Brazil, based on ISO 14046.
