ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW

Since SPIC Brazil started operating the São Simão HPP, community engagement and activities have intensified. Interviews with external stakeholders consistently revealed that the relationship with community has greatly improved under the new management, highlighting openness and transparency in communications and an increase in the number of community-based benefits and activities, community training, capacity building and awareness campaigns and a collaborative approach to the development and implementation of the Emergency Action Plan required by the National Dam Safety Plan legislation. 

A highly engaged and empowered E&S team under the supervision of flexible and encouraging management has shown a high level of commitment to ESG issues and quality, implementing an integrated management system in line with ISO certification standards.
