2. SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

STRATEGIC PLANNING - MISSION

Before 2013 Hydraulic utilization of the water

resources of the Paraná River, belonging to the condominium to the two countries, from and

including the Salto Grande of the Seven Falls or Salto de Guaira, to

the mouth of the Iguazú River

From 2013 Generate quality electricity

with social and environmental responsibility, promoting economic development,

tourism and technological development in Brazil and

Paraguay Strategic Planning 05.9.2003

From 2013

FOCUS: social and environmental responsibility,

new ethics of business conduct.
