ESG Sustainability

ESG at Nacional Gás
Energy with Responsibility

Our commitment to the future

The ESG agenda is part of the strategic evolution of Nacional Gás as a GEQ company. We apply environmental, social, and governance practices to our operations, our culture, and our investment decisions.

Our commitment is to distribute energy safely, efficiently, and responsibly, creating value for customers, employees, partners, and communities.

Environmental Management and Climate Change

Operational Efficiency and Emissions Reduction

We invest continuously in logistics and operational modernization. The holding company funded a logistics control tower project that increases productivity, optimizes routes, and strengthens the use of owned and dedicated fleets, helping to reduce emissions.

Today, most of our facilities run on energy purchased on the free market, and we are discussing expanding the portfolio to include renewable energy.
