CI&T Publishes ESG Report for 2024: Achieves 100% Renewable Energy Operations in Brazil

LONDON, 31 March, 2024 - CI&T (NYSE:CINT), a global technology transformation specialist, has just released its 2024 ESG Report, showcasing the company’s progress in sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance over the past year. This edition highlights key achievements, including operating entirely on renewable energy in Brazil, advancing diversity initiatives, and contributing to environmental preservation.

The report, published annually since 2021, aligns with the commitments of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and internationally recognised Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Renewable energy and environmental preservation

A key highlight of the report is CI&T’s continued achievement of 100% renewable energy coverage forf all its offices in Brazil, including employees working remotely. This milestone was made possible through the acquisition of Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), which certify that the energy consumed by the company comes from renewable sources.

The company has also invested in emissions offsetting and biodiversity conservation by supporting Legado das Águas, the largest private Atlantic Forest reserve in Brazil, reinforcing its commitment to ecological preservation.

"Having our operations in Brazil fully powered by renewable energy remains a crucial milestone for the company. This not only ensures that our operations stay sustainable and free from emissions related to energy consumption, but also reflects our commitment to emissions offsetting and biodiversity conservation. This result is the outcome of strategic, integrated planning with a 360° approach," said Cinthia Oliveira, Global Head of ESG at CI&T.

Diversity and Inclusion

In 2024, CI&T reaffirmed its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. According to the report, 51% of employees identify as belonging to underrepresented groups, including women, Black individuals, people with disabilities (PwD), and members of the LGBTQIAPN+ community. Additionally, 47.2% of hires in 2024 came from these groups. Fostering a diverse and representative corporate environment remains one of the company’s top priorities.

"Diversity is a fundamental pillar, especially in the technology sector, where the presence of women and Black individuals tends to be lower. More than half of our employees identify as part of underrepresented groups, and we remain committed to increasing this representation," emphasises the ESG head.

Employee Engagement and Recognition

In addition to its ESG-focused actions, CI&T has invested in employee development through the implementation of a new initiative on the CI&T University platform, providing knowledge and tools to empower everyone to actively contribute to the company’s sustainability initiatives.

The company’s commitment to transparency and sustainability has also been recognised. For the second consecutive year, CI&T received the Gold Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, an award given to companies that excel in disclosing greenhouse gas emissions data.
