SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Ecoplan Steel Castings is engaged in carrying out its processes efficiently and with special care for the environment, ensuring strict compliance with environmental legislation and investing in modern technology and equipment that reduces energy consumption and pollution levels.
In addition, the company takes special care in optimizing its natural resources, choosing inputs that have minimal environmental impact and annually recycling more than 14,000 tons of sand, which represents an 80% reduction in the consumption of this raw material, helping to reduce the environmental impact due from both the sand extraction activity and its disposal. This means more than 10.000m³ of sand that is no longer removed from nature and sent to landfills.
CERTIFICATE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN 2020
The main way to contribute to the energy transition is by choosing renewable sources, since energy generated by wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric, or biomass power plants contribute to avoid CO2 emissions, reducing the impact on the planet’s climate.
Ecoplan has managed to achieve the highest standards of energy management by choosing renewable sources, reducing emissions even for a year as challenging as 2020. This choice provided a reduction of 234,248 tCO2 equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions. The emission avoided by the company is equivalent to the CO2 sequestration accomplished by about 28,717,000 Atlantic Forest trees during one year!
The certificate was issued according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, considering the incentive energy contracts signed by Ecoplan in 2020, which were made compatible with the data from the Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization – CCEE.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY
ATHLETE OF THE FUTURE
Positioning itself actively and consistently to its commitment to society through the creation of opportunities and encouragement of human development, in 2015 Ecoplan, in partnership with the SESI of Cachoeirinha, became the Godmother company of the Athlete of the Future Program. This program serves on average 120 young people from the community in the period after school, offering various benefits from encouraging the practice of physical activities to the promotion of values linked to sports and personal and professional development.
VOLUNTARY GROUP
Ecoplan supports volunteer projects organized on its premises by its own employees, as a way to encourage solidarity and awareness of their social role, generating internal bonds of union and integration in favor of the social development of nearby communities.
The voluntary group “Corrente do Bem”, formed by Ecoplan employees, started its movement by supporting families who suffered losses due to severe storms occurred in greater Porto Alegre in 2015. Its operation has strengthened over time, starting to aggregate more participants, united by the single ideal of helping others.
Currently, the group is responsible for several projects aimed at families in situations of risk and vulnerability, children in need entities and care centers for the elderly in nearby communities.
