Founded in 1972 and headquartered in São Paulo, Sabesp is one of Brazil's largest water and wastewater service providers. It is responsible for supplying water and treating sewage in 376 municipalities across São Paulo, and serves approximately 28.7 million customers. The company was previously state-owned, but was recently privatised, with the government reducing its shareholding from over 50% to 18%.
Summary
Sabesp discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company is transparent about its process for engaging with stakeholders, which include the populations it serves as well as local governments. The company also adopts systematic measures to improve the quality of its water distribution services and maintains time-bound targets for further improvement in this area.
However, Sabesp can improve its performance in several of the benchmarked areas. While the company reports information on its scope 3 emissions for the transport category, it does not report on other significant emissions categories and lacks targets for reducing its most substantial emissions, potentially compromising its emissions reduction efforts. The company should also disclose its processes for determining its most salient human rights issues to demonstrate its efforts to ensure that its operations uphold human rights.
