Our management model seeks to respond to the needs of the communities in our areas of operation by connecting local demands with business strategy to create shared value. The Enel Compartilha Program is one of the main tools supporting this approach, enabling social, environmental, and educational projects focused on energy efficiency, responsible energy consumption, and citizenship. These initiatives provide tangible benefits to local populations while also strengthening Enel’s relationship with the communities it serves. In a context of increasingly extreme climate events, this work also incorporates the concept of climate justice, directing efforts toward the most vulnerable and affected regions through actions that help both mitigate immediate impacts and strengthen the resilience of impacted communities.

In 2025, 130 projects were implemented by Enel Group companies in Brazil, benefiting 1,828,113 people (representing a 52% increase compared to 2024), with a total investment of R$ 126.9 million. Income-generation projects focused on employability and entrepreneurship generated R$ 4 million for local communities. In addition, Enel replaced 2,890 refrigerators and 194,518 light bulbs free of charge for customers as part of energy efficiency initiatives carried out by the Group’s distribution companies, with the support of 883 active community leaders. Educational campaigns on the safe use of electricity were also conducted, primarily benefiting vulnerable communities within Enel’s concession areas.

Energy Efficiency for Communities

Initiatives under the Enel Compartilha Eficiência program benefited 700,630 customers within Enel’s concession areas in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Ceará. Throughout the year, 2,890 refrigerators and 194,518 conventional light bulbs were replaced with LED models through the Enel Compartilha Consumo Consciente, Enel Compartilha Cidadania, and Refrigerator Replacement projects. Activities included educational lectures and household visits focused on citizenship, responsible consumption, and the safe use of electricity, as well as guidance on access to Brazil’s Social Electricity Tariff Program. To expand the reach of these initiatives and bring educational activities to different audiences and territories, the program relies on the Enel Educational Mobile Unit, a traveling bus equipped with audiovisual and interactive resources used for awareness-raising activities on sustainability and energy efficiency.

Community Engagement Through the Community Leadership Network

Enel works closely with its network of community leaders, ensuring immediate attention to demands presented by local representatives. This approach involves direct coordination with responsible departments, requests for service forecasts, prioritization of responses, and ongoing support during periods of increased demand. This continuous engagement with 883 active community leaders is also reflected in relationship-building initiatives such as the Enel Compartilha Leadership Network Forum, organized by the three distribution companies. The 2025 meetings helped strengthen proximity and partnership with community leaders, increasing trust and consolidating a collaborative and permanent presence in local communities.

Enel Compartilha Green Attitude

The Environmental Education Program at Morro II, in Bahia, reached more than 8,600 beneficiaries through ongoing activities involving schools and residents living near the power plants. Activities included courses, lectures, educational campaigns, and training programs that encouraged the development of local multipliers committed to environmental conservation and the sustainable development of the region.

In Paraná, at the Mourão plant, another initiative under the program, Visits to Lago Azul State Park, was carried out in partnership with the park administration. The project promoted infrastructure improvements, including facility upgrades, enhanced access signage, and the revitalization of trails. These actions strengthened sustainable tourism and benefited 1,200 people in 2025.

Both projects are part of a broader set of initiatives aligned with SDG 4 – Quality Education. In total, 35 projects related to SDG 4 were implemented in 2025, representing investments of more than R$ 1.5 million and benefiting approximately 16,000 people, reinforcing the company’s commitment to education, environmental awareness, and community development.

Enel Compartilha Culture

In addition to its environmental initiatives, the program also includes actions that value cultural traditions and promote inclusion. Within the Enel Compartilha Culture framework, the Support for Indigenous Traditions Project, carried out at the Fontes II plant in Pernambuco in partnership with FUNAI, stands out. The initiative directly benefited 8,000 people by supporting the organization of three traditional celebrations of the Pankararu People, including the “Umbu Race” and the Easter Festival, in the Pankararu and Entre Serras Pankararu Indigenous Territories. Financial and institutional support helped strengthen cultural identities, preserve ancestral practices, and foster greater integration between the community and its territory.
