Message from the CEO
GRI: 1.1; 1.2; EU10; EU19; EU28; EU29
For the first time, we announced our financial results together with the social and
environmental enterprises of AES Brazil. This consolidates an important step in the
Strategic and Sustainable Planning, we released in early 2012, and provide more clarity to
the commitments we have made to contribute to the sustainable development of the
company.
The year 2012 was marked by significant events such as confirmation of the third tariff
review of AES Eletropaulo, the introduction of the program to reduce the electricity tariff and
the definition of the proposal for renewal of the licenses of distribution, transmission and
generation of electricity, maturing between 2015 and 2017. It is expected that the reduction
of electricity tariffs, implemented since January 2013, will contribute to greater
competitiveness of Brazilian industry and promote the economic growth of the Country.
The hydrology arising from a shyest scheme of rains in the 4th quarter of 2012 led to the
activation of higher level of thermoelectric power generation to supply electricity demand in
the country. This brings reflection on how the industry should move more consistently in
expanding the operational flexibility of the Brazilian electrical system, ensuring greater
security of supply against volatile hydrological situations.
In this scenario, we maintained investments and focus on customer satisfaction in the
pursuit of growth opportunities of our generation capacity and improving efficiency
standards and discipline in execution. We invested in 2012, R$ 1.2 billion in our operations
in electricity distribution - AES Eletropaulo and AES Sul, improving the quality of services,
and modernizing the power grid.
The frequency (FEC) and the average duration of interruptions (DEC) were reduced by 15%
and 19%, respectively, in the concession area of AES Eletropaulo, and in 8% and 9% in
AES Sul.
We surpassed 500 thousand families with regularized wiring in municipalities served by AES
Eletropaulo, which added to those of AES Sul are equivalent to 2 million people in lowincome communities benefited by our services and the education program for the efficient
and safe use of electricity, between 2004 and 2012.
On the subject of safety our number 1 value, we did not record fatal accidents involving our
own employees for the second consecutive year and reached 16.8% reduction in accidents
involving company employees and contractors. We regret two fatal accidents involving
employees of contractors of AES Eletropaulo and AES Sul and expanded our actions and
investments in training monitoring and consolidation of a culture consistent with our values
of safety to all those who provide services to us. Fatal accidents involving the population
were reduced by 16% in the areas where we operate.
In generation, we invested approximately R$ 139 million in the modernization program of
hydro plants. In pursuing the goal of expanding the generation capacity of AES Tietê, up to
3000 MW by 2016, followed with the environmental licensing process for installing the Term
Sao Paulo project with 550 MW capacity. We also acquired an option to purchase the
Project Term Araraquara, with a capacity of 579 MW, in São Paulo. We expanded, yet, our
activities in energy trading in the free market, achieving a portfolio equivalent to 288 MW as
part of our strategy for the rehiring of energy to be provided by AES Tietê from 2016.
After more than four years, we resumed thermoelectric operations on natural gas, in Rio
Grande do Sul, AES Uruguaiana, initially in an operation of an emergency nature, providing
5
up to 244 MW to the system from February 2013, but certain we could contribute to the
flexibility in the operation of the electrical system of the country enabling, together with the
Brazilian government, the conditions for sustainable and long-term operation.
We seeked, throughout the past year, to be more efficient and have discipline in execution,
especially in AES Eletropaulo, according to the third tariff review cycle. We invested in
technology, including a new modern Operation Center for AES Eletropaulo, and made
significant changes, integrating all business areas of the Group and the Commercial and
Operations areas of AES Eletropaulo in a single head office in the municipality of Barueri in
the State of São Paulo.
AES Brazil ended 2012 with EBITDA of R $ 2.6 billion and net income of R $ 1.1 billion,
46% and 62% lower than 2011. Part of this result is due to the sale of AES Atimus, recorded
in the balance sheet for the year 2011, and the reflections of the third tariff review of AES
Eletropaulo.
Our investments for 2013 will total R$ 1.1 billion, of which R $ 918 million for energy
distribution (R$ 647 million in AES Eletropaulo and R $ 271 million in AES Sul) and R $ 213
million in the continuing modernization program of hydroelectric plants at AES Tietê.
We obtained several recognitions throughout 2012, as recognition we dedicate the trust and
support of our employees, customers, investors, suppliers, shareholders, communities,
regulatory bodies and public power:

AES Eletropaulo and AES Tietê won the National Quality Award, the National
Quality Foundation;

AES Brasil was recognized for the second time as one of 20 model companies in
Sustainability, according to Sustainability Guide Exam;


A company providing sustainable solutions in electricity for over 6.4 million customers
GRI 1.2; 2.1; 2.2; 2.4; 2.5; 2.7; 2.8; 3.6
Since 1998, AES Eletropaulo operates in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, distributing
electricity to 24 municipalities in São Paulo (see the list of municipalities in the table below)
in a total area of 4,526 km2. The Company is the largest distributor of electric energy in
Latin America supplying electric energy to 16.6 million inhabitants and 6,5 million consumer
units. Therefore, counting on a staff comprised of 5,872 own employees and 11,563
subcontracted employees, serving its clients with quality and efficiency.
The area of concession of AES Eletropaulo is focused on the main industrial and financial
center in Brazil, with a Gross Domestic Product (PIB) that represents more than 50% of the
total GDP in São Paulo, according to the information provided by Fundação Sistema
Estadual de Análise de Dados (Seade) and Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística
(IBGE). The Human Development Index (IDH) of the region totals 0.828 – based on a scale
from 0 to 1. Based on these characteristics, AES Eletropaulo is responsible for the supply of
34.3% of the total electricity consumed in the State of São Paulo and 10.5% of the total
electricity consumed in Brazil.
In order to meet these challenges and focus on the supply of efficient and sustainable
electric energy solutions to meet its clients' needs, in 2012, the company invested R$ 831.1
million in the projects for maintenance, expansion and modernization of the network, in
addition to the services provided to the customer. This amount is 12.5% greater than the
investments performed in 2011 (R$ 738.7 million).
In 2012, AES Brasil, whose Group AES Eletropaulo also takes part, completed a significant
change in its work structure to provide further integration, synergy, improvement, efficiency
and competitiveness. In an innovative work environment that promotes the welfare of the
employees, AES Brasil transferred its head office and integrated the Group’s corporate
areas, including the Commercial and Operational areas of AES Eletropaulo, in a single
building in the city of Barueri (SP). For further information on the effects and benefits of this
change, see page 63.

Regulatory Landscape
The year of 2012 was one of significant changes in the Brazilian electricity sector. In
addition to the effects from the tariff reviews, the periodical process performed by the
National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), the Federal Government announced a number of
reductions of electric power fees in order to stimulate the Brazilian economy through the
Provisional Measure 579.
The main purpose of the review is to ensure the fair value of the tariff charged against the
consumers, based on the gains in terms of efficiency and productivity of the distributor in a
specific period set forth in the agreement – each four years for AES Eletropaulo. The tariff
review index approved in July of 2012 by ANEEL was -9.33% (average effect absorbed by
the consumer) and -5.60% (economic effect).
The Company has already expected the tariff reduction due to the sharing of efficiency
gains and productivity, however, at a level lower than that provided by Aneel. The effects
from this change affected the Company as a whole and, despite of the recognition due to
the excellence in the management (see page 26), it resulted in the restructuring of positions
and salaries to be aligned with the new financial scenario (see page 65).
The tariff review in 2012 is not directly related to the annual tariff adjustment, in the period
and intercycles, in which the formula included in the concession agreement is applied.
Also in the regulatory landscape, on September, 2012, a measurement package was
announced in order to encourage the economy growth. This package, also through PM579,
seeks to reduce the energy costs to all consumers.
This initiative seeks for an average reduction of 20.2%1 in the electricity tariffs, of which, in
average, 16.2% refers to the residential customers and 19.7% to 28.0% refers to the
industrial consumers, based on two main aspects: reduction of the sectorial charges (up to
7%) and redefinition of the conditions for renewal of the concession agreements for
generation, transmission and distribution, falling due between 2015 and 2017 (up to 13.2%).
The effects from PM 579 and related legislation were already considered in the calculation
of the tariff of AES Eletropaulo, performed by Aneel, on February, 2013. The consumers of
AES Eletropaulo will have a reduction of 18.25%.

Decent Work
AES Brasil works in order to eradicate child labor and prevent degrading and forced labor
in its supply chain by means of various tools.
Also in the register stage, the companies of the Group make available information related
to Ethics Code. In contracts, there are specific clauses on this matter. Also, audits in loco
are performed in suppliers. The matter is also included in the checklist of verification of
Safety Inspections.
In order to enter into this undertaking, AES Brasil has executed in 2010 the National Treaty
for the Eradication of Slave Labor in Brazil.
Transparency
GRI HR3; HR4; SO7; PR9
Aligned with the transparency guideline, AES Eletropaulo works, on a daily basis, to
establish the communication relationship with all target audiences. The company is
supported by the AES Helpline, the communication line, available 24 hours a day and 365
days of the year to receive and address the claims reporting ethics concerns or doubts
related to the Company’s values, as reported by the several target audiences of the
companies comprising the AES Brasil Group.
Through telephone (0800 891 4167) or internet (www.aeshelpline.com), AES helpline
receives from own employees or subcontracted employees, suppliers, shareholders and
others doubts, claims or denounces related to ethics, lack of ethics and business practices
deemed illegal, corrupt or not in accordance with AES values.
The reports do not need to be identified and will always be treated as confidential. The
confidentiality is ensured as all cases are received by an outsourced company globally
contracted by AES Corp., located in the United States of America, ensuring, therefore, the
accuracy, transparency and lawfulness of the verification process.
All reports are analyzed and verified by the Compliance Management. The most sensitive
cases are reported to the Ethics Committee for decision and resolution by the organization
leadership. AES Corp., on the other hand, manages the results of these inspections, whose
final level is the inspection, and the process may be resumed, if necessary.
In 2012, there was an accusation related to the religious discrimination. This happened in
March and was investigated by the Compliance department. At the end of the investigation,
it was concluded that it did not have legal basis.

The purpose of this work group is to discuss and prepare the guidelines for the "integrated
report”, a summarized document that provides the economic, financial, social and
environmental information of the organization on a simple, direct and connected basis.

Strategic and Sustainable Planning
GRI: 1.2
AES Brasil is committed with its sustainable development and operates as an agent to
understand, meet and advance the electricity needs of its clients, with secure and innovative
solutions for the economic, environmental and social development of the communities
where it operates.
This commitment is the main basis of the Company’s Strategic and Sustainable Planning,
launched in 2012 and that will be fully put in practice through 2016. AES Brasil’s planning
has four strategic guidelines that indicate the alternatives for the company to be able to
comply with its commitment. The strategic guidelines are the following:

Focus on customer

Expansion

Comments from the relation network

Efficiency and accuracy in the performance
The AES Brasil’s Strategic Planning was defined in order to ensure the alignment with the
Sustainability Platform, whose development commenced in 2010 and was launched with the
Strategic Planning at the beginning of 2012. The platform comprises a set of aligned
guidelines that affect all organization’s processes. The strategic guidelines and the main
and related matters of the Sustainability Platform have the same purposes and priorities,
ensuring that the actions are performed on a smooth and continuous basis, which ensures
effective and long-term results to the Company.
There are five main matters and three related matters with respect to the Sustainability
Platform of AES Brasil.
Main matters:
•
Security;
•
Innovation and excellence for the customer's satisfaction;
•
Sustainable power generation;
•
Efficient use of resources;
•
Development and evaluation of employees, suppliers and communities.
20
Related matters:
•
Education for sustainability
•
Integration of relation network;
•
Communication, information and knowledge.
Strategy Spread: The Knowledge Map
AES Brasil considers that the disclosure of the strategy of each business with its
employees is essential for the success of the Strategic and Sustainable Planning.
The purpose of the training is to disclose, with more details through the knowledge map,
the strategy for the 2012-2016 cycle of AES Brasil, stimulating the dialogue and the
understanding of all employees, as well as how, individually, each employee is able to
contribute with the compliance of the strategic goals.
Accordingly, AES Brasil developed a training that takes approximately four hours and is
performed on a playful and dynamic basis: the Map represents the business model, the
Strategic Planning of the organization, reinforcing the sustainability as an essential aspect
of the AES Brasil’s strategy and the We Are AES Culture.
Therefore, after understanding their role in the compliance with the Group’s strategy, all
employees of AES Brasil contribute to meet the Sustainable Strategic Plan Cycle’s goals.
AES Brasil at Rio +20
During Rio+202, AES Brasil’s CEO, Britaldo Soares, discussed about the preparation and
implementation of the Sustainability Platform and the Group’s need to focus on and be
committed with the sustainable development of all company, demonstrating how the
sustainability is effectively related to the business.
AES Brasil actively participated in Rio+20. The staff that attended to the event contributed
with significant discussions on the essential changes in governance structures, business
management and human behavior deemed necessary to the commitment with the
sustainable development.
The company was also involved in technical discussions that aim at identifying the electric
energy solutions to generate less environmental and social effects without, however, result
in loss of efficiency. The presence of the company confirmed the recognized position that
AES Brasil is assuming with respect to the matters related to the sustainability in the
electricity sector. We participated, as well, in the preparation of the document “2050
Brazilian View – a new business schedule in Brazil”. Prepared by the Brazilian Corporate
Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), the purpose of the document is to provide
a future sustainable view and determine the possible alternatives to ensure this. Another
aspect that reinforces the company’s commitment with sustainability is the appointment of
Britaldo Soares for the Board of Directors of CEBDS and as member of the Sustainability
Committee, of Amcham.

Sustainability Platform
GRI 4.16
In 2012, the Sustainability Platform of AES Brasil faced an important process of
consolidation and dissemination in the Group’s companies. The alignment with the Strategic
and Sustainable Planning is an important effect of this consolidation and already ensures
effective results for the organization.
With respect to the safety subject – the company’s most important value – several actions
were undertook in the concession area of AES Eletropaulo in order to ensure a reduction of
19% of fatal accidents with the population (for further information, see page 30).
Another important subject was the innovation and excellence of the Customer Satisfaction,
in which AES Eletropaulo reached the best index of Customer Satisfaction in the Abradee
ranking since the research was performed for the first time (for further information, see page
36).
With respect to the development and valuation of employees, it was given sequence to the
program for development and recognition of the best practices through the Supplier
Financial Performance Index (IDF) (for further information, see page 70).
With respect to the development and appreciation of communities, the Strategic Planning
and the Sustainability Platform allowed the consolidation of the Corporate Social
Responsibility Management System (SGRSC), which defines the guidelines of the private
social investment, allowing, therefore, the company to improve its operations at the
communities and align its social investments to the business strategy (for further information
on the SGRSC, see page 74).
In terms of platform management and governance, the Sustainability Committee met four
times in 2012 to monitor the 38 commitments and reported the updated information to the
Board of Directors and to the Supervisory Board two times.
One of the main decisions of the Sustainability Committee was the approval of the
company’s main sustainability indicators that must be reported on a quarterly basis
beginning 2013.
Sustainability Policy
GRI 1.2; 4.14; 4.17
The commitment of AES Brasil with the sustainable development is defined in the
documents that express our identity (View, Values, Ethics Code) and sustainability policy as
explained in our website (www.aesbrasilsustentabilidade.com.br).

Knowledge of the Platform by the Employees
For the dissemination and adhesion of the Sustainability Platform in AES Brasil, it was
performed a research, on a sample basis, of the internal communication focused on this
subject, applicable to 600 employees, of all levels of authority.
The results indicate that, although most part of the persons interviewed declared to be
aware of the Sustainability Platform, the percentage of those that “know well” it is solely
17%. This information shows that, despite of the efforts undertaken to disclose the strategy,
still needs to be done a strong work, mainly focusing the role of the leaders as the persons
responsible for such disclosure. Accordingly, in 2013, it will be put in practice the Education
for Sustainability Program (commitment of the related matter Education for Sustainability),
23
not only to improve the knowledge on the Platform, and also to allow each employee to
understand how to use the sustainability principles in the personal and professional routine.

allowing eventual corrections and adjustments over the process. The cycle of the strategic
planning is comprised of two stages: definition and establishment of the strategy.
During the definition stage, between January and June, the Xtrategy takes place, which is a

Xtrategy allows the risk analyses and opportunities based on the following: macroeconomic
estimates; regulatory and political environment; projected market expansion; corporate risk

Beginning June, the strategy is implemented, during which stage the discussions are
performed for the preparation of the budget of the company and the definition of the main
initiatives/projects for the definition of the strategic guidelines and commitments assumed in
the Sustainability Platform.
Between September and October, the budget assumptions and the projections of the
financial statements are discussed and approved by AES Corp. and the National Social and
Economic Development Bank (BNDES).
In accordance with the allocation of the resources approved by the respective boards, the
respective action plans are detailed and related to the strategic guidelines, including terms,
goals and responsible persons.




Human – capacity, experience and knowledge;

Technological – research and development, processes and products.
Market – brand, clients and relationship;

risks identified are classified based on the related probability and effects in the matrix
denominated heatmap.
27
The risks inherited to the businesses are grouped in four areas: strategic, financial,
operational and regulatory. These areas are divided into 57 categories. All risks are properly
addressed with an action plan, through a monthly monitoring of the key risks. The other

Target Audience
GRI 4.14; 4.15; 4.16; 4.17
Aiming at making its actions more effective and to meet the specific demands, AES Brasil
approved in 2012 a revision of the target audience map. With the involvement of the
leadership, the project, which started in 2011, resulted in the reclassification from six to ten
sets of target audiences of the company. In accordance with its level of relationship and
influence, the audiences were grouped as the ones that:
28

Influence: Press, Electrical Sector Agents, Organized Civil Society and Communities;

Support: Employees, Shareholders and Lenders;

Depend/Support: Suppliers and Clients; and

Regulate/Inspect: Public Power and Regulatory Bodies.
Integration of Relation Network
In order to ensure that the business management is able to meet to the expectations of our
target audiences and generate the contributions to the Strategic Plan Cycle, AES Brasil
structured and systematized its engagement process based on the international rule
AA1000. Thus, the company aims at obtaining expectations and demands, as well as the
sustainability aspects that could be controlled and over which the AES Brasil Group has
control.
This process is important to ensure that the expectations of these target audiences are
considered in the Strategic and Sustainable Planning in a clear and transparent way.
The application of the procedure in 2012 with the target audience, complies with the
commitment presented in its Sustainability Platform, as well as it starts the systematization
of a procedure to be applied to all target audiences of the Group in the next years. In 2013,
for example, the company will extend its scope by including the investors focused on the
publication of its first integrated report in the next year. Learn more about this Project on

Safety is the value number 1 of AES Brasil. This means that nothing is more important than
ensuring the physical integrity of the employees, suppliers and of the 16.6 million people
that on a daily basis enjoy the well being provided by the electricity in the concession area
of AES Eletropaulo.
The challenge is to reduce the accidents. Therefore, the safety efforts undertaken by AES
Brasil Group aims at anticipating the risks and seeking the preventive actions that would
represent the best safety conditions for all persons.
The Safety Programs of the AES Brasil’s companies are based on the global guidelines of
AES Corp. and on the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SGSSO).
The requirements of the SGSSO are in accordance with the specifications of the OHSAS
18001 (Occupation Health Safety Assessment Series), an international rule focused on the
health and work safety, directed to the preservation of the physical integrity and health of
the employees and partners through the practices of mitigation of risks in activities and
facilities. As a result of the adherence of its Safety Management System, the company
received, in 2012, the OSHAS Certification 18001.
Although out of the three commitments, two commitments were not reached in 2012, AES
Eletropaulo recorded significant results, such as the reduction of 44% in the number of
accidents with own employees and decrease of 19% in the fatal accidents with the
population. Similarly to 2011, the company has not recorded any fatal accident with its own
employees.
According to the Occupational Health and Safety Management System of AES Brasil, the
Group received the award in 2012 from Fundação Coge, under the Labor Safety and Health
Management category. In December 2012, AES Eletropaulo was certified in Rule OHSAS
18001. The good performance, although, did not repeat with the outsourced companies and
one fatality was registered in 2012.
Workforce Safety
GRI LA7, LA8
The Safety Program of AES Eletropaulo, including all company’s practices, was prepared to
contribute with the consolidation of a safe environment through the commitment with
continuous improvement. This program is based on the Standards of AES Corp., 25 safety
standards focused on the improvement of procedures and practices and also based on the
compliance with the requirements of rule OHSAS 18001.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the safety actions performed, the company monitors
such actions through the AES Corp. – Safety Management System, whose process is based
on a continuous cycle comprised of four stages:

Plan: identify the safety risks and define the goals;

Execute: include trainings, qualification and operational controls;

Verify: monitor the progress of the goals and perform the corrective actions;

Review: include the progress analysis actions to develop the changes, if necessary.
During 2012, it was given continuity to all practices set forth in the Safety Program, reaching
a reduction of 44% in the number of accidents with and without the leave of own employees
and increase of 1% in outsourced employees.

Safety Program
GRI LA8
The Safety Program of AES Eletropaulo is comprised of several actions, comprised mainly
of the following:
Safety Walk
The Safety Walk is an initiative of AES Brasil Group and involved the leadership (CEO, viceCEOs, executive officers, managers and coordinators) of several areas operating in the field
in order to monitor the activities performed by own and outsourced employees, as well as
identify and eliminate the conditions and behaviors not in accordance with the security
policies.
In 2012, the leaders of AES Eletropaulo performed 27,166 safety walks, reaching the goal
set forth for the period. As a result of such walks, the leaders recorded all insecurity
conditions and all action plans for the correction and prevention were set forth for each one
of them, based on the study in each case.
Leader in Action
In order to skill the leaderships in order to guide and oversight the staffs for performing safe
work and, therefore, ensure the efficiency of our initiatives, this practice offers the training
based on three aspects (safety, quality and productivity) to the leaders that operate directly
in the field.
Safety Blitz in Contracted Companies
The Safety Blitz is a practice adopted by AES Eletropaulo with the contracted companies of
the Electrical Power System (SEP). This refers to a visit to suppliers for a safety inspection
in order to resolve the insecurity conditions in the entire value chain. In 2012, 10 blitze were
performed in the contracted companies.
31
Event Report
It is a communication line of the Integrated Management System with the employees to
stimulate the communication of probable accidents and behaviors or insecurity conditions in
the work environments, in addition to the environmental events. Accordingly, the company
ensures that all events that could potentially result in environmental accidents are reported
and verified, in order to perform the actions to eliminate the risks. The employees may also
provide suggestions with respect to the company’s safety and environmental practices. The
reports received are analyzed, classified and addressed in accordance with the event
potential. In 2012, AES Eletropaulo received 15,872 reports.
Safety Discussion
It comprises periodical meetings – monthly and weekly – aiming at providing information to
all employees with respect to all matters such as: environmental safety, result of the
inspections of accidents and reports on significant events, performance analysis,
occupational health, results from the field inspections, safety campaigns, technical and
operational procedures with significant effects on the safety or environment, among others.
Zero Tolerance
It comprises the prompt, effective and efficient actions based on the safety inspections
directed to identify and eliminate the insecurity conditions that could result in severe or fatal
accidents. The preventive actions reinforce the prompt leadership role to maintain and
develop a safe environment and the use of the controls to ensure that the safety conditions
in field are being complied.
Megasafety Inspection
Its purpose is to determine the existence and conditions of the tools, material, vehicles and
protection equipment. These are coordinated by technical managers, operational
coordinators and safety coordinators and technicians.
Safety Committees
GRI LA6
Four Committees represent the employees from AES Eletropaulo with respect to the
matters of health and safety. These Committees comprise 100% of the company’s
employees. The goal for 2013 is to ensure the periodicity of the meetings of each
committee.

divided into subcomissions, which discuss differentiated subjects and address the
discussions to the CEO of Cipa. Each Board of Directors has specific analysis and the
subcomissions define how each area should act.
Safety for the Population
In 2012, AES Eletropaulo improved its actions directed to provide information to the
population on the risks of the electric energy in the context of the Viva sem Acidentes
Movement. The reduction of 19% in the accidents (from 16, in 2011, to 13, in 2012) is the
result of more than 153 safety blitze; 372 trainings for the civil construction professionals;
3,777 safety lectures and 6,199 presentations of the safety trucks, reaching an audience of
1.27 million people.
All these initiatives were reinforced by an intensive media campaign, since 2011, which
aimed at advising and warning the population with respect to the need of adopting safety
measures in relation to the electric network. In order to directly reach the population, the
campaign performed actions in the soccer stadiums, samba communities, public schools,
communities, work sites and trains of the Metropolitan Trains Company of São Paulo
(CPTM).
The focus of the campaign was the customers of classes C, D and E. Accordingly, the
campaign adopted a simple language based on the daily activities of the population in order
to ensure that the message could be better understood by the highest number of persons.
As recognition for the work of AES Eletropaulo in the execution of these actions, the
campaign resulted in the 2012 MaxiMídia Award, received from Meio & Mensagem
magazine, under the category “Best Mix Media Use”.
The fatal accidents with the population decreased in 19% between 2011 and 2012; but the
total number of accidents increased from 87 in 2011 to 89 in 2012. Between 2009 and 2012,
the total of accidents decreased 33% and the fatal accidents, 50%.

Safety Day with the Population
In order to reinforce and continue with the initiatives to provide information of the electric energy risks to its
clients, on June 29, 2012 AES Eletropaulo launched the Safety Day with the Population. The action
comprises in the provision to the population of safety tips through interactive activities. Amongst the
attractive measures of the event, we count on the lan house truck equipped with interactive game that
challenges the participants with the exercises of “right or wrong” with respect to the electrical installations, in
order to stimulate the changes in the behavior and proper and safe use of electric energy.
Electric and Magnetic Fields
The electric and magnetic fields are always implemented in the electricity transmission. In this
regard, AES Eletropaulo adopts cautions and preventive measures with respect to the exposure of
the population during the development of the projects, in accordance with the recommendations of
the Worldwide Health Organization (OMS).
Under applicable legislation (Federal Law nº 11934, of May 5, 2009, regulated by ANEEL Normative
Resolution 398, of March 23, 2010), the company performed the studies for the measurement and
simulation of the magnetic fields and follows, on a periodical basis, the analysis of the institutes on the
matter. This monitoring is performed in partnership with the Brazilian Association of Electromagnetic
Compatibility (Abricem) and provides support to a research and development project with the purpose
to oversight the exposure levels of the employees and population to magnetic fields of 60 hz generated
in substations and subtransmission lines and, therefore, comply with the safety limits in all facilities.
The company aims also at defining the most adequate architecture for the electrical system and the
development of the remote sensitive terminals of the magnetic fields in the selected places (metrics). In
addition, the Project includes the development of a database that could provide the information to the
population and governmental agencies (federal, state and municipal), in accordance with Bill
2.576/2000.
In 2010, AES Eletropaulo has installed sensors in line Pirituba-Bandeirantes which allowed the
monitoring, in real time, of its electromagnetic field. In 2012, the tests of the new measurement system
were successfully completed, which innovates such in terms of calculation of the distance between the
field and buildings and portability, as allowing the measurements to be performed in several places.
Thus, it may be used to evaluate the levels of the magnetic fields in the areas next to the electric grid

AES Eletropaulo is a company that daily seeks for renewal and more efficient measures to
its practices. The company believes that simple acts can contribute to improve the routine of
the persons in the development of their daily activities inside and outside their work. In order
to disclosure this culture amongst its employees, AES Eletropaulo created, in 2011, an area
to stimulate the innovation and implement the innovation culture in the company.
In addition, AES Eletropaulo has invested in the innovation of the electricity grid. Over the
last years, there were investments in the promotion of a more intelligent grid, resulting in an
35
energy of highest quality and reliability to approximately 6.5 million customers of the
company. The results from this investment can already be confirmed and in 2012 it has
been recorded the best operational performance indices of the company’s history.
GRI PR5
The excellence in the customer service and the continuous improvement in the rendering of
the power supply are the assumptions adopted by AES Eletropaulo. In 2011, there was a
significant effort in the company to reorganize our customer care infrastructure, including
initiatives such as the improvement of the electronic customer care channels, opening of
new stores that offer assistance in person and launching of the platform of digital customer
care, the Mobile Web; in addition to the high investments in the field staffs and grid
technology.
Due to all this initiatives, an important objective was reached: increase the customer
satisfaction level. This index is measured by Abradee and, in 2012, the company received
grade 80.6 in the Quality Satisfaction Index (ISQP), the best index in 14 years, and 9.1
points greater than the research in 2011. This result leaves the company closer to the next
goal of 85% established for 2012. The expectation for the next years is to have a better
position in the association raking, from the 13th position to the 5th position through 2016.
In 1999, the Abradee research is performed annually based on the five themes of the
Quality Satisfaction Index , namely: Power Supply; Information and Communication; Light
Account; Customer Service; Image. In the total, 625 customers are interviewed in person to
contribute with the research that determines the level of satisfaction with the electricity
distributors.
The growth in 2012 is the result of the investment made by the company over the last years.
It has been R$831.1 million, an increase of 12.5% compare to 2011, focused in
maintenance, expansion, grid modernization and customer services.

Amongst the important investments between 2011 and 2012 in the customer services to
ensure the customer satisfaction, we include the following:

increase of 150 positions in the call center, in addition to the 400 positions available
so far;


be in stand by for emergency cases;

improvement of the electronic service capacity from 2,000/hour to 54,000/hour;

implementation of the Mobile Agency for field services in critical days.
In order to continue with the projects for improvement of the customer service, in 2012, the
company launched 14 new points of services in person, totaling 40 units that provide
36
several services to the customer, as second electric energy invoice, master file changes,
fraud reports, claims due to the lack of electricity, installation requests, indemnity claims for
electricity damages, amongst others.
In order to improve the customer care services, in 2013, AES Eletropaulo will provide, in its
customer service points, 127 self service terminals, 50 totens and 77 telephones (Fale

Services Network Assistance
In 2012, it was made a replacement on the assistance in person of AES Eletropaulo. The
current network, with 37 points strategically positioned, aims at the improvement in the
quality of the assistance by means of the centralization of services.
The selection of assistance points was made by a study prepared by the company which
include four main aspects: establishment of the ideal productivity per assistance position;
assessment of the average monthly demand of assistance per region; calculation of the
proper number of service positions per region; and exploration of the profile of the client
searching for the assistance in person.
An example of application of the method is Loja Rebouças (Avenida Rebouças nº 2708, in
São Paulo) the first to be fully reformulated in accordance with the new quality standards
enabling more comfort and agility in its service capacity.
Respect with the customer
AES Eletropaulo was elected the “company that most respects the consumer”, under the
Energy Suppliers category, according to the Consumidor Moderno magazine, as a result
of a research carried out together with Shopper Experience. The average reached by the
company was 6.44, taking into consideration that 21% of the consumers had experience
with the brand.

Call Center Excellence
In October, 2012, AES Eletropaulo was recognized for the best work presented in the
Brazilian Electricity Distribution Seminar (Sendi) – the most important meeting of the
representatives of the electricity sector. The winning project was the “U.R.A. – An
Automated Relationship”, which had good results from the improvement of the distributor’s
call center.
The study concluded that, with the expansion of the U.R.A. (Remote Customer Care Unit),
the capacity increased significantly, from 2 thousand to 54 thousand customers served per
hour. Such improvement enabled the increase of 19% to 43% in the withholding of calls.
Focused on the continuous improvement of the relationship with the customer, AES
Eletropaulo, beginning 2011, has invested in the expansion of the call center and in the
modernization of the points of services in person. In the total, approximately R$ 90 million
have already been allocated to these projects.
Express Invoice
In May 2012, AES Eletropaulo began the delivery of electricity invoices upon consumption
measurement. With this new system, the company reduced not solely the costs with the
delivery of the invoices, but also the environmental impacts related to the consumption of
paper and transportation of the invoices (reduction of the emission of CO2 by the usage of
fuel). This because the new equipment that measures the consumption also prints the
invoice, which is provided to the customer upon measurement. Accordingly, the
equipment communicates in long distance with the concessionaire’s billing system, which
receives the information and records the payment.
The project, developed in partnership with SAP, a recognized company in the business
management software, counted on an investment of R$ 11.2 million. In 2012, the project
was implemented in the region of Tucuruvi and currently serves 422 thousand customers.
It is expected that at the end of 2013 all 6.5 million customers of AES Eletropaulo will be
benefited with this new system.

AES Eletropaulo provides to its customers the Ombudsman service to record eventual
statements related to the services provided by the concessionaire. In 2012, the main
registered statements related to requests for indemnity due to electricity damages (PID),
energy consumption, measurement and service orders. Together, these claims accounted
for 64% of the total claims performed during the year. The main claims received by
Fundação de Proteção e Defesa do Consumidor (Procon) relate to consumption issues
(amounts included in the invoices), including the debits charged (collection of pending
amounts and fees).
Following the analysis and calculation of all claims – taking into consideration the sector
regulation, 52% were classified as founded and the customers received the necessary
clarifications.
The Ombudsman service receives the claims recorded in the specific 0800 and also those
received by Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (National Electric Energy Agency- Aneel),
Agência Reguladora de Sanemaneto e Energia do Estado de São Paulo (São Paulo State
Sanitation and Energy Regulatory Agency-Arsesp) and Procon.
In February, the company received a notice of infraction in the amount of R$3,54 million of

The safety and protection of customers’ information are extremely important to AES
Eletropaulo. In September 2012, the access to the Virtual Center was interrupted for a
period of five hours due to a possible problem with the website, which permitted viewing the
other customers’ invoices. However, these invoices were not viewed by all customers. In
order to view the other customers’ invoices, the user had to have some technical – to
combine systematically certain codes – and have the intention to obtain third-party
information. The information security staff was promptly advised and did not record the
invasion nor use of any personal information stored in our system.
Operational Excellence
Productivity (Summer Plan)
GRI EC2; EU21
Beginning 2011, AES Eletropaulo introduced the PDA (Digital Personal Assistant), which
allows the submission and completion of the service orders through a pocket equipment
similar to the smartphone, improving the performance.
In addition to the performance improvements, there were benefits in the reliability and
coverage of information, which allowed the company to prepare a more precise map of the
events and time of customer care services. Again, AES Eletropaulo seeks for technological
innovation in order to increase the efficiency of its operations and improve the customer
care services. Accordingly, the preventive measures are important. An example is the
Meteorological Monitoring System (SIM), whose information directly affected the planning of
emergency events in 2012 arising from the climate damages.
Another example of proactive measure and prevention against critical scenarios is the
Summer Plan, adopted by the company since 1996. During this period, which presents
strong rain more frequently, affecting the distribution network, AES Eletropaulo provides its
entire technical staff to meet the calls and emergency events. This integrates the company’s
human resources strategy and, despite of the dismissals due to the company’s restructuring
(see page 65), there was an increase from 264 to 473 (during summer time) in the number
of professionals that operate in the emergency calls, which improved the operational
performance indicators

Renew Program
The purpose of the Renew Program is to improve and increase the effectiveness in the
performance of the activities and reduce the costs with system maintenance, in addition to
support the decision-making process. Accordingly, this program reviews the company’s
processes and the changes in the IT area that will allow the integration and modernization
of the systems responsible for the company’s operation.
The reviews will also improve the customer services and allow the implementation of
systems adjusted to the AES Brasil’s processes, improving the results to the Group’s
companies.
Through 2012, more than 100 employees of different areas operated in the Inova program
projects. In 2013, it is estimated that 350 persons will adopt the program.

Distribution network expansion
GRI 2.9; EC8; EU6
In addition to invest in the modernization and automation of the electric grids, it is also
necessary to invest in the expansion of the system, ensuring the distribution in accordance
with the demand of the consumer units, without breaking down the system and reducing the
quality of the electric energy distributed. Accordingly, in 2012, AES Eletropaulo invested R$
216.5 million in projects for the expansion of the electrical system.
Amongst these investments, we highlight the construction of the new substation Ermelino
Matarazzo and the improvement of the substations Santo Amaro and Cotia, which, together,
totaled 200 MVA of power to the AES Eletropaulo’s system. The results from such
expansion are reflected in the improvement of the energy quality, as it allowed the new
balance of the load in the benefited regions.
In São Paulo, 20 new primary circuits for distribution in the substations of João Clímaco,
Carapicuíba, Bandeirantes, Ibirapuera, Ermelino Matarazzo and Parnaíba were launched, in
addition to the expansion of the capacity of other 38 primary circuits in the substations of
Cotia, Monções, Tamboré, Vila Talarico, Nações and Carapicuíba, with the reconstruction of
the underground stretches. With the new circuits, AES Eletropaulo can improve the quality
of our services due to the increase in demand for electric energy in the benefited regions,
totaling approximately 230 thousand customers.
For 2013, it is estimated the construction of 47 new circuits and the expansion of the
capacity of over 25 primary circuits in the substations of Monções, Vila Talarico, Nações,
Clementino, Carapicuíba, Monte Azul, Varginha and Guaianazes.
The new cycle of tariff reviews resulted in the need of reviewing the capacity of investments.
However, the focus will be maintained on the improvement of the quality of the services
provided. Accordingly, it is estimated for 2013 the investment of R$ 178.6 million in the
construction and expansion of the distribution substations, primary circuits and
subtransmission lines.
Innovation: Aiming Intelligent Networks
GRI EU6; EU21
For AES Eletropaulo, the efficient and secure provision of services, with quality, depends
directly on its innovation culture and the continuous investment in alternatives and electricity
distribution technologies. This is a daily concern in order to meet its goal that is to ensure
the customers’ satisfaction and to be the electric best power distribution concessionaire in
Brazil by 2016.
One of the tools to meet this purpose is the efforts undertaken by the company to introduce
technologies which are able to provide the smart grids in its concession area. The smart
grids are comprised of several equipment which is able to map the traditional electric energy
grid: sensors, automation devices and smart metrics. With this set of technologies, the
company is aware – at long distance and in real time – of the volume and quality of the
electricity that is being used in each consumption unit. Accordingly, the concessionaire will
be able to remotely perform the maintenance, monitoring of irregular connections and
cutting and reconnecting the installations.
In addition to the technological improvements established over the recent years (see page
41), in 2012, AES Eletropaulo prepared the roadmap of the Smart Grid Program for the
period between 2013 and 2015, which defines a restructuring project for the region of
Barueri (SP) – in order to test the definition of the applications and functionalities of the
41
smart grids, covering the electric energy grid of the city, five substations and approximately
56 thousand metrics; and another project in Vargem Grande Paulista and Caucaia do Alto,
which aims at testing the functionalities of the smart grid. Over this period, AES Eletropaulo
will make investments greater than R$ 70 million.
Investments, modernization and quality
GRI: PR9; EC2; EC8; EU6
One of the steps for the implementation of the smart grid is the investment in technologies
that ensure the monitoring of and remote control over the distribution networks. In 2012,
AES Eletropaulo concluded the installation of 1,488 new automatic connectors, equipment
that allows the recovery of the power supply remotely, in case of interruption due to any
external effect, without the need of allocating the maintenance staff to such place. Currently,
over 3 thousand equipment is implemented in the grid. With an investment of R$ 38.9
million, the installation of the automatic reconnectors resulted in the best operational indices
(DEC and FEC) of the company’s history, as demonstrated in the table below.
The installation of the automatic reconnectors prevented approximately 990 thousand
interruptions due to the failures in the transmission in the consumer units throughout the
year, allowing an FEC of 4.65 in 2012.
Another significant effect from the investments in the automation of the electric grid is
reflected in the reduction of the amounts paid in fines imposed by the regulatory bodies
arising from the interruptions in the energy supply. In 2012, the company paid a total
amount of R$ 24.9 million in fines, a decrease of 13% compared to 2011.
Another important aspect in 2012 was the project to map the substations. In total 100
substations and 140 primary circuits4 were mapped, with investments of R$ 20.2 million.
For 2013, it is estimated the mapping of 540 connectors, secondary circuits and capacity
banks.
The investments in modernization of the grid allow customers to have access to the
electricity with reliability and quality, which are already being recognized and that reflect in
our indexes of Customer Satisfaction (see page 37). Therefore, on an integrated basis, AES
Eletropaulo seeks for innovative solutions to comply with the commitments and goals of the
Sustainability Platform and the Strategic and Sustainable Planning.
DEC and FEC
In 2012, AES Eletropaulo reached the best indexes of DEC and FEC in its history. It was
registered 8.35 hours and 4.64 times, respectively, representing a decrease of 19% in the
DEC index and 15% in the FEC index, compared to the previous year.
4 Part of the distribution network that feeds the transformers; the grid that comes from the transformers and reaches the consumption points is
called secondary grid.

Electric Cab
The partnership among AES Eletropaulo, Municipality of São Paulo, Sindi Taxi and the
assembler Nissan commenced the pilot program Electric Cab – Zero Emission. The
purpose of the project is to evaluate the operational performance of ten electric taxis in a
city of São Paulo.
The vehicles are operational and we count on the support of five rapid loaders that supply
up to 80% of the total load of the vehicles within solely 30 minutes, allowing the resupply in
short stops and without affecting the daily activities.
The benefits of the project include the reduction of the consumption of fuels and, therefore,
the emission of CO2 derived from the extraction and refining of fuel and natural gas,
normally used in this category.
Distributed Energy
GRI: EC2; EU6; EU8
In April 2002, Aneel enacted a normative instruction in order to define the general conditions
for the access to the distributed generation. The rule created the Energy Compensation
System, which allows the customer to install small generators in its consumption unit and
exchange energy with the local distributor. The rule is valid in order to allow the generators
to use the alternative sources of energy (water, solar, biomass, eolic and qualified cogeneration).
Thus, the energy generated in a residential facility and not consumed and may be included
in the AES Eletropaulo’s system, which will use the credit to discount the consumption on
the following months. The credits may be used within 36 months and the information will be
included in the customer’s invoice, in order to inform the customer about the energy balance
and also to understand the invoice.
At the same time of the progress of regulation, AES Eletropaulo directed the resources of
the Research and Development Program to projects that may enable the concept of the
distributed generation in its concession area.
43
Solar energy in the city of São Paulo
With the purpose of performing it in practice, studies on technical, economic and
commercial feasibility in the use of photovoltaic solar panels in the electricity generation,
AES Eletropaulo invests in the implementation of trial plants.
The largest project will be made in the future stadium to be used in the opening of the 2014
World Soccer Cup, in São Paulo, and has the participation of AES Tietê, generating
company of Group AES in Brazil and other companies of the electrical sector and
investments of private enterprise.
On the other hand, in Parque Villa Lobos, the project aims at studying the aspects of the
distributed generation of solar energy and of the connection with the distribution network
and also developing national technology. It will be installed solar panels distributed and one
photovoltaic plant in the Park area.
The proper allocation of these resources in order to ensure balanced results with respect to all
relation network, in accordance with the company’s efficient use of resources
In the Sustainability Platform, this main theme – Efficient Use of Resources – is divided in
three types of resources: financial, energy and natural. The results are broken down below.

The new cycle of tariff reviews of Aneel will significantly affect the revenues of
AES Eletropaulo. Therefore, the commitment with the efficient use of financial resources
becomes even more relevant and strategic for the business.
In this regard, in 2012, the Creating Value program was more relevant. The program – an
initiative of AES Brasil that seeks to improve the result of the company, either by an
increased revenue, either by optimal use of financial resources - brought a profit of R$
319.3 million, exceeding the goal of 2012 of R$ 318 million. The performance of the
program was in all areas of AES Brasil, having as main initiatives: improved performance of
collection agencies, migration of service channels, reducing labor contingencies, customer
segmentation, renegotiation of contracts, among other.
This confirms that the companies comprising AES Brasil have undertaken efforts to ensure
that the decrease in revenues does not adversely affect the target audiences.

Economic and Financial Performance
In 2012, the net profit amounted to R$ 107.9 million, a reduction of 93.1% as compared to
the amount of R$1,572.1 million registered in 2011. This reduction is explained by:
(i)
negative impact of R$252.1 million, due to the effect of revision and tariff adjustment
on Installment B, offset in part by the increase of R$120.9 million by virtue of the
total market growth in 1.0% in 2012;
(ii)
negative impact of R$295.4 million in 2012, related to the increase of costs of
Installment A considering the tariff homologated in July 3, 2012;
(iii)
increase of R$ 487.0 million in the expenses with Installment A in the first semester
of 2012;
(iv)
increase of 23.5% of expenses with PMSO (personnel, material, services and
other);
(v)
increase in the account other revenues and expenses due to non-recurring effect
related to the sale of AES Eletropaulo,Telecom (AES Atimus) to TIM;
(vi)
lower financial result, due to non-recurring financial revenue in 2011 (adjustment for
inflation and interests on arrears on Finsocial contribution), reduction of capitalized
interests and decrease of monetary updates due to lower judicial contingencies
balance.

Operating Revenue
The gross operating revenue reached R$ 15,313.7 million in 2012, a growth of 0.5% in the
period. This behavior is explained by: (the growth of 2.0% of owner-dominated market in the
period; by the increase of 1.3% registered in the line of other revenues in the same period of
comparison.
In 2012, the deductions amounted R$ 5,354.5 million, which represents a decrease of 0.9%
in the comparison with 2011. This evolution is explained by the decrease of values defined
by Aneel to CCC (Conta de Consumo de Combustíveis), PROINFA (Programa de Incentivo
às Fontes Aternativas de Energia Elétrica) and CDE (Conta de Desenvolvimento
Energético) charges, as well as of tax charges levied upon the supply revenue arising out of
the invoicing variation between the periods.
As a result of the changes mentioned above, net operating revenue was 1.3% higher than in
the comparison between the years 2011 and 2012, totaling R$ 9,959.2 million.

Other revenues and expenses
The account of other revenue and expenses increased from an expense of R$ 47.9 million
in 2011, also to an expense of R$ 914.1 million in 2012, reflecting the sale of AES Atimus in
October 2011. Excluding this effect, the increase of R$ 149.6 million in 2012 compared to
the previous year is explained mainly by the increase of R$ 92.4 million with construction
expenses due to higher Capex in the period, plus the growth in R$ 57.2 million in expenses
for decommissioning asset.
Ebitda
In 2012, the EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, initials
in English) the company reached a total of R$ 655.6 million, a decrease of 77.0% compared
to the previous year, when EBITDA was R$ 2,847.9 million. The following factors explain
this performance:
(i)
negative impact of R$ 252.1 million due to the effect of the tariff review and
adjustment on Installment B, partially offset by an increase of R$ 120.9 million due to
the growth of 1.0% of the total market in 2012;
(ii)
negative impact of R$ 295.4 million in 2012 related to the increase of Installment A
costs in relation to what was found in the tariff approved on July 3, 2012;
(iii)
increase of R$ 487 million in the expenses with Installment A in the first semester of
2012 compared to the first semester, reflecting greater expense with power
purchase for resale and charges of Basic Network, ONS and ESS;
(iv)
increase of 23.5% with PMSO expenses; and
(v)
increase in the account of other revenues and expenses due to the non-recurring
effect related to the sale of AES Atimus to Tim in October 2011.
Financial results
In 2012, the financial result was a net expense of R$ 51.6 million, while in 2011 the result
was a net expense of R$ 21.3 million. This performance is explained by the following
factors:
I.
positive impact in third quarter of 2011, non-recurring item of R$ 54.3 million, as a
adjustment for inflation and interest on arrears over the Finsocial contribution;
II.
reduction in the average time of closure of the works and putting into operation of the
management system of works resulting in a decrease of R$ 21.0 million in
capitalized interest;
III.
provisions in fourth quarter of 2012, related to notices of infraction issued by ANEEL
in the amount of R$ 18.3 million related to indicators DEC and FEC 2009 and
nonconformities raised by the regulatory agency in the preparation of the valuation
report of the Regulatory Compensation Base. The company has filed an appeal
together with ANEEL to review the figures for non-compliance with Regulatory
Compensation Base.
IV.
reclassification of the fair value of the financial asset related to concession
previously recorded in equity and now recognized as adjustment for inflation, totaling
an expense of R$ 15.1 million;
V.
negative impact of R$ 6.7 million due to the decrease in CDI between periods, due
to the reduction of 3.2 pp in the CDI for the period.
And partially offset by:
48
I.
restatement on the transfer of properties sold in April 2007, totaling R$ 39.4 million.
The completion of the transfer of the remaining property of the operation allowed the
accounting of amounts related to adjustment for inflation for the period;
II.
allowance in the amount of R$ 27 million recognized in fourth quarter of 2011 related
to the notices of infraction issued by ARSESP and Aneel, positively impacting the
same period of 2012;
III.
favorable ruling with respect to the action seeking PIS credit offset, in third quarter of
2012, which resulted in the recognition of R$ 18.5 million. The company recalculated
the amounts related to the action involving PIS credit and found an additional credit.
This value only refers to the monetary update of the difference determined through
recalculation of the action
Compensation to the Shareholders
The Management of AES Eletropaulo proposes the distribution of 25% of base for payment
of dividends for the year of 2012, considering the amount of JSCP (Interest on Own Capital)
previously proposed discounted the Income Tax, totaling R $ 54.9 million. The Managers
further propose that the remaining amount of R$ 138.2 million is allocated to the Statutory
Reserve to reinforce working capital and financing of maintenance, expansion and
development of the company's activities.
Allocations will be ratified at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is expected to occur
by April 30, 2013, as well as the ratification of the interest on capital in the gross amount of
R $ 54.3 million deliberated at the Board Meeting and the definition to the effective date for
payment.
The amount of complementary dividends proposed by the managements of the company is
of R$ 0,5 million, and of JSCP, is of R$ 54,3 million, corresponding to R$ 0,31 per ON share
ON and R$ 0,34 per PN share.
Debt
On December 31, 2012, the company's gross debt totaled R$ 3,935.9 million, R$ 209.4
million higher at the end of 2011, reaching R$ 3,726.5 million. The 5.8% increase in gross
debt refers mainly to:
(i)
the 14th issue of debentures in November 2011, worth R$ 600 million disbursement
in January 2012;
(ii)
disbursements from FINEP during 2012, totaling R$ 19.8 million;
(iii)
partially offset by:
(iv)
amortizations of principal of the 10th issue of debentures in the amount of R $ 200
million, CCB Citibank in the amount of R $ 50 million and CCB Bradesco in the
amount of R$ 30 million and;
(v)
the reduction of the net debt recorded with Fundação CESP in R$ 96.8 million, due
to the fact that the payments to the pension fund of the installments for the year
2011 were higher than the costs from the actuarial calculation. The balance of this
debt totaled R$ 1,133.0 million at the end of December 2011.
Cash totaled R$ 814 million at the end of the year, R $ 576.4 million lower than the same
value of 2011. At the end of 2012, the company's net debt totaled R$ 3,114.8 million, 34%
higher than the balance of 4T11, due mainly to the lower balance of cash.
49
The average cost of total debt of AES Eletropaulo showed variation from CDI + 0.98% p.a.
on December 31, 2011 to CDI + 1.21% p.a. on December 31, 2012. The average debt

Recovery of Losses
• We invested R$ 27.9 million for the completion of 55.4 thousand regularization of illegal
connections, correction of irregularities of 43.6 thousand irregularities and replacement of
109.2 thousand obsolete meters.
Maintenance
• The cumulative total invested in 2012 was R$ 213.0 million, mainly in the maintenance of
2005 km of the network, in addition to the installation of 1,488 automatic circuits recloses.
Others
There were allocated R$ 99.1 million for the creation of the New Administrative
Headquarters and acquisition of vehicles mainly aimed to support the contractors to carry
out works for the expansion of the network and pruning and emergency classes.
Commercial Performance
The AES Eletropaulo’s concession area has the most diverse economic activities, whether
industrial, commercial or service. Also, it has the largest population concentration in the
Country.
In 2012, the total market in the concession area of the company grew by 1% compared to
2011. This performance reflects the low economic growth of the Country, which strongly
impacted the industrial activity in the company's concession area.
Moreover, the market performance for the year was sustained by the residential and
commercial classes, due to favorable indicators of unemployment and income, and the
higher volume of sales in the State of São Paulo, which grew 9.9%. Furthermore, the
consumption of the total market in the year had a positive impact of an additional 0.8 day
billing (+103 GWh). These numbers were offset by the exit of a free customer for the basic
network and the dismissal of a customer which, together, negatively impacted with 534
GWh in the year. Excluding the impact of billing days and the exit of customers, the total
market would have registered a growth of 2% in 2012.

With respect to the efficient use of power resources, the efforts undertaken by AES
Eletropaulo were focused on the reduction of the technical and commercial losses. In
addition to the engineering actions, including the construction of new substations and
circuits for load redistribution (for further information, see page 41), the company acted to
become more efficient in the customers’ equipment in the context of the Energy Efficiency
Program, including the regularization of irregular connections through the Transformation
from Consumers to Customers program.
Decrease of technical and commercial losses
GRI: EU6; EU7; EN6; EN7; EU12; EN26
The losses in the distribution represented the difference between the electric energy
required and the electric energy effectively sold to the customers in the same period,
classified into two types: technical and commercial (non-technical).
In 2012, the initiatives to reduce the losses increased by 537 GWh. This volume of added
energy resulted from the initiatives that comprise the loss mitigation plan. Amongst the main
actions, we refer to the following: inspection of frauds directed to the segment of high history
of irregularities and increased impact in the volume of added energy; recovery of
installations which were discontinued due to the lack of payment of the customers that
started to use irregular energy; replacement of the obsolete metrics for more modern
equipment, which allows more accurate balance and reading, contributing to reduce the
52
invoicing losses due to inaccurate reading; and regularization of informal connections (read
more on page 77).
In 2012, AES Eletropaulo performed 282 thousand inspections to avoid fraud and
irregularities, resulting in 46 thousand measurement irregularities. In addition, 67.3thousand
installations were recovered whose power supply was discontinued
Energy consumption
GRI: EN4; EN5; EN7
The electricity consumption in AES Eletropaulo in 2012 was 44.29 GWh, 2.1% lower than
the previous year. This result approximates to the commitment assumed by the AES Brasil
Group which provides for the reduction of 20% in own consumption through 2016,
considering 2011 as the base year. This way, the company exceeded the goal for the year,
established in 44,36 GWh.
The economy in the period, which totaled 1,05 GWh, corresponds to the energy demand of
a city of 41 thousand inhabitants for about a year.

In addition to the Transformation from Consumers to Customers project (see page 77), AES
Eletropaulo invests in energy efficiency projects to the customers of the industrial, public
power and service groups.
Throughout 2012, AES Eletropaulo invested R$ 46.84 million in energy efficiency projects,
in cities of concession area, such as São Paulo, Diadema, Pirapora de Bom Jesus,
Carapicuíba, among others.
The plans benefited state and municipal schools, hospitals, traffic lights and tunnels of the
São Paulo state capital besides public buildings, among others, totaling in the 520 units a
reduction of 38,846 MWh/year of energy consumption, which is equivalent to the average
monthly consumption of more than 14.1 thousand households.
One of the initiatives that can be perceived by the São Paulo citizens daily is replacing
incandescent light bulbs with LED lights in about 110 thousand traffic lights of the city.
Besides saving about 80% of the electricity, requiring less maintenance, this kind of lighting
is safest because it ensures that drivers and pedestrians have no doubts about the color of
light, regardless of the reflection of sunlight. In 2013, a refinement of the project includes the
installation of no breaks that keep the traffic lights system running even during a potential
power outage at 176 intersections, corridors and critical city.
In August 2012, Eletropaulo ended, together with the Municipality of São Paulo, the works to
replace the lighting system of more than seven tunnels totaling 20 in the city. AES
Eletropaulo project’s benefits go beyond improvements in lighting: the action also reduced
thefts of cables, saving energy and maintenance costs, but also in the care of the electrical
system.
In addition, another 195 schools in the municipal city of São Paulo and another 73 of the
state have benefited from the modernization of the lighting system, which also brings
greater economy and quality for students, especially for those studying at night.
In health, R$ 1.5 million was invested in the improvement of lighting and HVAC systems of
12 public hospitals, benefiting patients and physicians.

AES Eletropaulo is supported by the Environmental Management System (SGA), whose
main purposes are the prevention, correction, mitigation and control of the environmental
effects. SGA offers the system of continuous improvement through the development of
management purposes, goals, programs and procedures, and operating instructions,
aligning, therefore, the company’s processes and activities, specifically with respect to those
that represent the most significant risks to the environment.
The system also refers to themes that involve management of services and material
suppliers, taking into account issues related to the compliance with the environmental laws,
good environmental management practices and regulations and the company’s policies, in
addition to prevention of impacts. Another point of attention of SGA is the impacts that the
AES Eletropaulo’s activities would cause against the communities in the surroundings, in
order to identify ways to minimize them. All these actions are directed by the Sustainability
Policy of the AES Brasil Group, which operates in accordance with the prevailing
environmental laws and regulations and with respect to the natural resources.
In 2012, the certification ISO 14001:2004 scope reached 100% of the company’s processes

Waste and material
GRI: EN1; EN22
The development of the activities in AES Eletropaulo depends on the resources such as
cables, poles, metallic material, isolators and transformers, amongst other items. Currently,
these materials are managed based on the specifications of purchase, without the control of
volume or mass. In 2012, it was started the alignment work, so the information may be
reported in 2013.
Based on the commitment to use at least 20% of recycling and/or reused materials and
equipment in the electric energy grid through 2016, AES Eletropaulo started, in 2012, a
project to evaluate the potential use of the reverse logistics in all operation.
We prioritized three types of material with a greater reuse potention, poles, ironware and
insulators, which received a differentiated treatment from the removal of the grid to the final
treatment for reuse. It was implemented the pilot project and it is estimated a cost reduction
of approximately R$ 3.8 million/year.
In addition to the purchase and efficient use of the material, the proper management of the
waste generated is a commitment assumed by AES Eletropaulo. In 2012, the company
increased by 32.64% the recycling and reuse activities, as well as reduced by 78.68% the
generation of waste for landfill in relation to 2011.

GRI: EN3; EN4; EN16; EN17; EN18; EN19; EN29
In 2012, AES Brasil commenced the implementation of a Risk Management and
Opportunities Identification System associated with the Climate Changes, which is a
commitment of the Sustainability Platform and whose purpose is to evaluate the company’s
weaknesses for the proposal of prior measures for climate adjustments, amongst other
purposes.
In addition, the inventory of emission of greenhouse gas (GEE) was improved, which started
to considered additional sources compared to the previous year. We included emissions
related to the recharge of fire extinguishers and solid waste.
Taking into consideration the emissions directly controlled by AES Eletropaulo, it was
totaled 8,106.49 tCO2e, mainly corresponding to the consumption of fuel in the fleet and
emission of SF6.
The indirect emissions corresponding to the energy consumption for the performance of the
organization activities totaled the equivalent to 350,692.24 tCO2, taking into consideration
the average monthly emission of 0.0686 tCO2/MWh of the Brazilian Integrated System
(SIN). It is also emphasized there was an increase of 135% in the SIN’s average emission
factor, and, if the assumptions of the previous year are maintained, the value would be
151,355.25 tCO2.
The increase with respect to the previous year resulted from the change in the water
system, caused by a long lasting draught, and the subsequent increase in the use of the
thermoelectric plants to meet the Brazilian energy supply.

employees. A company seeks, on a daily basis, to create systems to stimulate and
appreciate the employees, focusing on the efficiency, professional satisfaction and quality of
life.
In 2012, an important project was concluded: the transition to the new head office. At the
end of 2010, we started the preparation of this change, which was supported by a number of
discussions between all hierarchical levels, research about the employees’ opinion and
feasibility studies.
In January 2012, the group Embaixadores da Mudança (Ambassadors for Change), which
gathered 60 employees representing all areas to discuss and create solutions for all issues
related to the transition to the new head office. The Ambassadors for Change continued to
meet even after the completion of the transition, in order to evaluate the suitability of the
employees to new working strategy of the company and identify possible areas for
improvement.
The change into the new head office involved the allocation of 1,500 employees - who were
previously in different offices in the City of São Paulo - in one single building in the city of
Barueri (SP).
The main purpose of the change was to increase the integration, synergy, agility, efficiency
and competition capacity of the company, in an innovative environment that would be able
to promote the welfare of the employees, in addition to reduce the company’s costs.
Therefore, the new head office provides for a more modern physical space that improves
the integration between the employees, also improving the work. It has also an
infrastructure to support the needs of the employees, as a site for meal and the Off Space,
which provides for entertainment activities.
63
New working strategy
The changes are not solely related to the location and infrastructure. AES Brasil believes in
an innovative method of work. The transition to the new head office also changed the work
culture. The effects for the employees started with the work time, which commences at 7
a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m., defined with the purpose of reducing the time in the traffic of the
Metropolitan Region of São Paulo in the rush hours. In accordance with the estimates, the
change in the initial work time – which previously was at 9:00 a.m. – resulted a gain of
approximately 58 minutes in the displacement of the employees.
The new work time allows the employee to return to his/her place earlier than he/she was
used to, increasing the free time for personal activities and, therefore, improving the quality
of life.
The new working strategy of AES Brasil also resulted in changes in the daily activities. The
planning and organization of the work time are further emphasized and disclosed by the
company. The purpose is to increase the productivity without increasing the working time.
Therefore, before the change to the new head office, 100% of the employees were trained
about the new way to work and acts related to it.
It also implemented the remote work. The employees that do not record the working hours
can negotiate with the respective leaders and perform the work remotely once a week. The
purpose of this initiative is to provide the employees with more flexibility to perform their
personal and professional activities, contributing, therefore, to their satisfaction and quality
of life.
Displacement of the employees
One of the most important and most discussed issues in the management process for
change was the issue of displacement of the employees to the new work site. The
Ambassadors for Change held discussions to reach a transportation model that meets, in
the best possible way, the needs of the 1,500 employees allocated in the new head office.
The company provides a freight transport that serves about 840 employees. There are 24
routes covering the entire metropolitan region of São Paulo and allow employees to arrive
and leave the work site within the stipulated time.
Satisfaction in work environment
In order to evaluate the employees’ opinion on the infrastructure, quality of life, integration
between the areas and remote work at the new head office of AES Brasil, an Evaluation
Research was performed and received over 600 responses. In accordance with such
research, 87% of the employees are satisfied with the new work environment and the quality
of the facilities. For 40% of the employees, the quality of life was improved with the change,
and 54% believes that the new working strategy facilitates the daily activities. Also
according to the evaluation, the remote work affected positively the life of 73% of the
employees, and 70% of the employees declared that the integration with the other areas
made the work more accurate and productive.
These results confirmed that the new working strategy is already consolidated amongst the
employees and that contributed to improve the work environment and daily productivity.
In 2012, 74% of the employees of AES Eletropaulo provided a positive evaluation of the
new workspace. Although the goal was not reached (85%), we consider that many factors
adversely affected the results, mainly the restructuring of the company when the research
was performed.
64
Restructuring
In the second half of 2012, AES Eletropaulo went through a period of restructuring in its
employees’ staff. This adjustment was necessary due to the effects of the tariff review and
led to the resizing of positions and teams. Thus, it was necessary to conduct a review of the
impacts to all target audiences and it was decided to make major adjustments.
It was promoted adaptations that implied a change of functions and compensation equating
thus reducing 68 positions in administrative and operational base, increasing by 470
vacancies the number of electricians who work customer service, and encouraging 70
people to retire within the Retirement Incentive Program. Adding to the dismissals in the
period, there was a net increase of 204 vacancies in the company.
Development and appreciation
GRI LA12
The integration and development of the AES Brasil’s employees are continuous. The
employee’s transparency in the professional performance is analyzed, amongst other
periods, during the Performance Evaluation with Feedback 360º, which involves leaderships
and the employees in the analysis of the performance of subordinated employees, peers
and managers. Such transparency is implemented during the Pé na Estrada, a direct
discussion between senior management and the employees, which provides the results
from previous year, company’s strategy, investment plan and goals for the year, in addition
to respond to the questions performed by the employees in the microphone. In addition, the
employees attend to the discussions in the tables to present the improvement proposals that
may be used in the Group’s environmental strategic plan. In 2012, 18 meetings were held,
attended by 192 participants of all companies. In order to stimulate and compensate the
employees that stand out in the development of their daily activities, the Company adopted
the Recognition Program.
Recognition of employees
To encourage and prize the employees that stand out in the development of daily duties,
since 2009 AES Brasil keeps the Recognition Program: dynamic, management and values
of AES. In AES Eletropaulo, in 2012, 326 persons benefited, including 235 dynamic
recognition to employees or staffs whose actions had positive impact on the company taking
into consideration the responsibilities of the position.
Siga Livre: the path for expansion at AES Brasil
GRI LA11
The professionals of the AES Brasil Group also have the opportunity to define their career
plans and to establish the goals for their professional expansion through Siga Livre, a
program that provides information on the hierarchical levels and knowledge, formation and
experience necessary to be in charge of each position.
The Siga Livre content was reviewed and updated at the end of 2012, with 764 promotions
and 1,300 salary increases due to merits or change in position, in connection with the
program in AES Eletropaulo.
65
Internal recruiting
The development and retention of talents are essential for the good performance of the
businesses. Therefore, AES Brasil prioritizes the internal recruiting with respect to the new
opportunities.
In 2012, 40% of the vacations were occupied by employees already working in the company
in other positions. The main objective of the program is the improvement of the succession
plan, as well as to encourage the employees to prepare their career plan, so that in the
future these employees are able to be in charge of new positions in the organization.
So that the positions may be available to all in a democratic manner, the company uses the
internal communication tools, such as intranet, board and bulletins, to do the disclosure.
When AES is not able to fill internally out all spaces, an external selection process is
opened, coordinated by human resources area, with active participation of the requesting
area manager.

Turnover
GRI: LA2
In 2012, there were 1,071 hiring compared to 864 dismissals, 180 were women and 684
men. In the period, the voluntary turnover rate5 was 10.43%. The target established by all
AES Brasil Group’s companies is up to 6% and the result observed is the reflex of the
structure of the company.
Compensation and benefits
GRI: EC3; EC5, LA3, LA14
AES Eletropaulo is concerned about to remain attracting and competitive in the market and
adopts a compensation policy that includes a number of benefits to its employees.
The company’s salary policy includes nominal salary (fixed compensation), additional
compensations and benefits, in addition to the Profit Sharing Program (PLR). The fixed
compensation is tied to the position and job duties, according to the level of responsibility.
On the other hand, the variable compensation is based on the individual performance
evaluation and on company’s result and it is paid through the Profit Sharing Program.
The lowest compensation in base salary paid by the company corresponds to 1.69 times the
2012 current minimum salary. With respect to the equity in the compensation of operational
positions, for example, men had a salary 4% higher than the women compensation. In
2011, this difference was 29%.
The Company also offers to all employees the private pension plan, such as Fundação
Cesp, Previdência Itaú-Unibanco and MetLife. These are three different options – defined,
supplementary and voluntary – and the contributions are defined in accordance with the
characteristics of each plan, with disbursements performed by the employees and by the
company.

Quality of Life
GRI: LA8
The quality of life in the work environment is one of the main concerns of AES Brasil.
Therefore, AES Sul invests in programs and actions to identify hazard and risk factors
related to occupational health.
Through the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SGSSO), based on the
OHSAS 18.001 and on the Behavior Based on Safety (BBS), the company adopts control
measures aiming to insure people’s health, safety and ergonomics.
One of the initiatives is the program Viva Bem Viva Mais, divided in three stages, whose
purpose is to reduce the stress and promote the quality of life, contributing to the
professional and personal development of the employees: Viva o Corpo – focused on the
care with health of the employees; Viva a Mente – focused in reducing the stress and lack of
physical exercises; Viva Mais – promote campaigns for promotion of physical and mental
welfare.
Another action that aims to further improve the AES Sul employee and assist him in times of
difficulty, contributing to a more peaceful, secure and balanced professional and personal
life, is the Count on with Us Program. This program values the confidentiality and has a
team of social workers who attend in person or via 0800, offering comprehensive social
support in different situations and procedures, such as direct care to employees and
dependents seeking help from social context; home and hospital visits to remote
employees: 24h care in case of accidents; information and support to employees removed
by Social Security (INSS); among others. The Personal Support Program is another service
channel that aims to restore emotional well-being of the employee. Through it, employees
and their families can seek psychological, legal, financial aid, speech therapist, among
others. Services are offered by professionals, by phone or in person.
69
Communication with internal public
AES Brasil seeks for the continuous discussion with its employees and maintains a number
of communication channels through which the employees are able to issue their opinion,
resolve doubts and know better the company. We refer to the Rede Ligado, comprised of
five channels integrated with Communication.

In order to comply with the commitment to establish a clear and transparent relationship with
its suppliers, AES Brasil Group created, in 2011, a performance evaluation system of this
target audience considered critical, which directly affects the company’s business, including
agreements with an effective period of at least six months and of high value. Therefore, all
most significant suppliers to AES Brasil are considered by the tool. The entire process is
based on the procedures of the Certification ISO 9001.
The Suppliers Performance Index (IDF) counts on the participation of the managers of the
areas of all companies comprising the Group, which are responsible for completing, on a
monthly basis, the questionnaire including aspects related to the safety, environment, social
responsibility, quality, management, productivity, relationship and contractual clauses.
In 2012, IDF improved significantly its scope, which also improved the tool. When it was
created, the IDF had four questionnaires to evaluate approximately 40 suppliers. Currently,
there are 12 questionnaires that evaluate approximately 200 suppliers and over 300
agreements, once some of them are responsible for more than one agreement.
70
The flexibility of the tool enables the creation of specific questionnaires for each category of
services and materials, converging the weights of evaluation criteria and their questions to
the characteristics of each object. In 2012, for example, specific assessment models were
developed to companies of power generation suppliers, which allowed the inclusion in the
evaluation of suppliers who provide services and provide materials and equipment for AES
Tietê and AES Uruguaiana.
The evaluation cycle of the IDF is on a monthly basis in accordance with the effective period
of the agreement, being the detailed results shared with suppliers after each evaluation. In
accordance with the note provided, the tool classifies the suppliers into four performance
rates: excellent; in compliance with the standards; needs improvements; not in compliance
with the standards. When the classification is at the last two rates, the tool determines that
the manager prepares an action plan in order to allow the supplier to reach the minimum
standards. The effectiveness of the action plan is evaluated as from the improvement in the
note obtained in the months subsequently to the commencement of the action plan.
The significant development in 2012 was the participation and commitment of the managers
that developed action plans also to the suppliers that complied with the minimum standards,
contributing, therefore, effectively and on a proactive basis with the development of this
target. In 2012, it was implemented 711 plans, as compared to 177 in 2011.
In addition, to improve the transparency of the process, the Group is developing a
satisfaction survey with all its critical suppliers. Initially scheduled for 2012, the research was
scheduled for the second six-month period of 2013.
IDF Improvements
In 2012, AES Brasil began a process of improvement of evaluation of the suppliers. The
criteria evaluation is being revised in order to supplement the evaluation on the social and
environmental evaluation of our business partners. We improved the analysis taking into
consideration the aspects related to the labor rights, of environment, health and safety,
improving the process in relation to the new challenges for purposes of sustainability of the
businesses.
This revision was performed in two stages, which analyzed, individually, the perception of
the leadership of AES Brasil and the suppliers, through dialogue panels, on the new
evaluation criteria.
In 2013 the work will be focused on the revision of the evaluation questionnaires in the IDF,
taking into consideration both positions. The results from this evaluation will be converted
into action plans to improve the social and environmental performance of the suppliers,
considered in the Best Supplier Award, annually performed by the company.
Incentive and Recognition
With the improvement of the IDF, we also increased the recognition of the suppliers that
obtained the best performance in the evaluations. Since 2011, AES Brasil promotes the
AES Brasil Best Suppliers Award. With the slogan, “Large partnerships deserve large
recognition”, the award is based on the IDF and recognizes the best practices of the
partners, taking into consideration the safety, environment, social responsibility, quality,
management, productivity, relationship and contractual clauses.
Amongst the 205 suppliers (responsible for 323 service agreements and supply
agreements), 118 were qualified to the award process, 34 as the final candidates and seven
were the winners in the following categories: IT Services; Electric System Services (SEP);
SAC Services; Infrastructure and Support Services; Generation Projects and Inventory

In 2012, AES Eletropaulo held commercial relationship with 2.100 companies, of small,
medium and large sizes, national and multinational to supply materials, equipment and
services to meet the technical, operational and administrative needs of the plants.
Over 60% of the employees engaged are comprised of suppliers and regional service
providers. 10,251 professionals operate in AES Brasil through service providers in 2012.
Employment policy
GRI EC6
AES Brasil adopts specific rules to select its suppliers, including at the beginning of the file
information on the basic guidelines in terms of safety, environment and Value Guide. In this
stage, the company requires documentation for legal and tax qualification and consultations
are performed regarding the company’s financial health and the compliance with the social
and environmental legislation.
The compliance with the requirements on the part of the suppliers is guaranteed by means
of periodical and receipt inspections, industrial evaluation, ethics and compliance
questionnaire, evaluation of the social and environmental responsibility and technical and
work safety audits performed by AES Brasil and specialized companies.
For more complex proceedings, AES Uruguaiana may require specific environmental
licenses, evidences of compliance with the conditions and requirements of occupational
safety and trainings regarding the regulatory rules nr-10 and nr-33 and evaluation of
prototypes.
In the contracting processes, AES Brasil identifies the needs and expectations of the
suppliers, which are subsequently analyzed and used for the improvement of the practices
related to the relationship. Accordingly, it seeks the means to adjust the company’s
expectation for the performance of the suppliers on a sustainable manner.
During the effectiveness of the agreements, events, meetings and workshops are carried
out to ensure the continuity of supply without harming the parties. The main subjects
addressed are ethics, safety and performance. In AES Eletropaulo, the percentage of
purchases performed with the local suppliers6 is 75.37%.
Contractual compliance review

the Ethics and Compliance Program provides for a number of analysis and research of
compliance, denominated due diligence7 of the partners involved.
In addition, the Compliance Agreement is attached to the agreement, which provides for the
measures to be adopted by the partner in relation to the commitment of not performing
unlawful acts, in addition to provide for the termination of the agreement with respect to the
non-compliance with the terms of such appendix. In 2012, 100% of the suppliers qualified8
in the compliance process were evaluated with respect to these aspects, including the
health and security conditions.
In 2012, 2 thousand operations were evaluated in AES Brasil, of which 1,000 relates to AES
Eletropaulo operations.
In the year, the total of 106 suppliers, with agreements that include the verification clauses
focused on the human right matters, were also submitted with respect to such matters. The
agreements entered into with the suppliers evaluated were all accepted.

In 2012, AES Brasil consolidated the Corporate Social Responsibility Management System
(SGRSC), whose purpose is to ensure the continuous improvement of the social activities
and ensure the maximum alignment with the company’s strategy established by the
sustainability policy and in accordance with the rules and standards applicable to the
businesses of AES Group in Brazil, such as ISO 26000 and AA 1000.
The importance of the SGRSC is also reinforced by the definition of the responsibilities and
decision-making processes, ensuring: improved efficiency in the identification and priority of
the expectations of the target audiences with respect to the businesses; the proper mapping
of the social effects related to activities – which will direct the projects and action plans,
generating information that would allow the monitoring; and the rendering of accounts
internally and externally.
In 2012, R$121.6 million was invested and allocated, of which R$ 34.8 in our resources and
R$ 86.8 in incentives, in projects of promotion of access to the education, culture and sport;
inclusive professional training; energy efficiency and access to regular electricity; and social
influence for the promotion of social matters aligned with the guidelines of the sustainability
policy of AES Brasil.
It may be noticed that one of the consequences of the tariff review in AES Eletropaulo (for
more information, see page 9) was the reduction of the profit margin of the company and

Culture and Citizenship House – AES Eletropaulo
Main social project of AES Brasil, the Culture and Citizenship House is to transform the
reality of thousands of children, people and adults by means of activities that are focused on
art, culture, citizenship, quality of life and income generation. Directed mainly to the poor
communities, the project served directly, in 2012, approximately 4.7 thousand persons in its
activities and, indirectly, 214.3 thousand persons, with the presentations and lectures
performed. In the AES Eletropaulo units, 1.1 thousand persons were served by the activities
and 57.7 thousand for the presentations and lectures.
Operating in social and human development, the project contains seven units: São Paulo
and Osasco, with investment from AES Eletropaulo; the Barra Bonita, Lins, São José do Rio
Pardo and Caconde units, which AES Tietê is responsible for; and Novo Hamburgo, in the
state of Rio Grande do Sul, which is sponsored by AES Sul.
The program comprises two stages, whose transversal themes are the safe and efficient
usage of electricity and the responsible consumption of the natural resources. The first of
them, offered from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., is directed to children and
adolescents and offers activities as circus, and visual and digital art, music, theater, dance
and artistic gym. The pedagogic methodology is developed and monitored by a
multidisciplinary staff of professionals.
The other area, which is aimed at young people and adults, promotes access to vocational
and entrepreneurship courses, workshops for income generation, lectures and cultural
events.

Transformação de Consumidores em Clientes
Mainly focused on regularizing the informal connections (popularly denominated “cats”) and,
therefore, offering safe and reliable electricity to all persons and contributing to the welfare
of poor communities, AES Eletropaulo had adopted since 2004 the Transformation from
Consumers into Clients program.
The regularization of these connections stimulates the efficient and safe use of electricity. In
addition, many of the beneficiaries received an official address, which provides another
sense of citizenship to these poor communities, allowing bank loans and purchase in
installments, in addition to facility their entry in the formal work market. The familities served
by this program were registered by AES Eletropaulo, in partnership with the Municipalities
and the Social Development Ministry to benefit from the Social Tariff of Electricity (TSEE).
In addition to the regularization of these connections, the program performs, through the
field managers, a strong education work for the safe and proper use of electricity, directing
the communities to avoid accidents with the electricity grid and providing tips to save
electricity.
During their visits, the managers also identify some places that need some repairs, such as
the refurbishment of the internal electrical installations, replacement of lamps, replacement
of freezers for more efficient models (with the Procel A Seal) and installation of smart
showers.
These measures help families to reduce consumption and, consequently, the energy bill,
contributing to the maintenance of low default levels. The energy economy of the program,
in 2012, reached 77.839MWh/year, promoting a reduction of 26.61MWh in the peak time.
In 2012, the total number of connections reached 55,479 families, benefiting approximately
195 thousand people, besides replacing 6.507 refrigerators and 502.412 lamps, refurbish
356 homes that had poor electrical installations and install 195 systems for heating water for
bathing by means of solar energy . Investments in 2012 totaled R$ 58.7 million - R$ 23.7
million from own resources and R$ 35 million from funding incentive.

AES Brasil
Barueri - SP
Introduction
We have been hired with the purpose of applying the procedures of limited assurance on the
information of sustainability disclosed on the Sustainability Reports of AES Eletropaulo, AES
Tietê and AES Sul, related to the year ended of December 31, 2012.
Responsibilities of the Management of the Company
The Managements of AES Eletropaulo, AES Tietê and AES Sul are responsible for the
preparation and presentation in adequate form of the sustainability information disclosed in
the Sustainability Reports according to the Guidelines of the Sustainability Reports of the
Global Reporting Initiative - GRI (GRI-G3) and with the internal controls that have determined
as necessary to allow the preparation of these information free from relevant distortions.
Responsibility of the independent auditors
Our responsibility is to express conclusion on the sustainability information disclosed on the
Sustainability Reports, based on the work of limited assurance conducted according to NBC
TO 3000 (Work of Assurance Different of Audit and Review), issued by the Federal Council of
Accounting (CFC), which is equivalent to the international rule ISAE 3000, issued by the
International Federation of Accountants, applicable to historical non financial information.
These rules demands the fulfillment of ethical requirements, including requirements of
independence and that the work is executed with the purpose to obtain limited assurance of
the information disclosed on the Sustainability Reports, taken together, and free of relevant
distortions.
A work of limited assurance conducted according to the NBC TO 3000, equivalent to ISAE
3000, consists, mainly, of questionings to the Managements of AES Eletropaulo, AES Tietê
and AES Sul and other professional of the Company involved in the preparation of the
information disclosed in the Sustainability Reports, as well as the application of analytical
procedures to obtain evidence that allows us to conclude in the best manner of the limited
assurance on the sustainability information disclosed on the Sustainability Reports.
The proceedings applied were:
(a) the planning of works, considering the relevance, volume of quantitative and qualitative
information and operational system and internal controls that served as base for the
83
preparation of sustainability information disclosed on the sustainability Reports of AES
Eletropaulo, AES Tietê and AES Sul;
(b) the understanding of the method of calculation and the proceeding for compilation of
indicators through interviews with the responsible managers for the preparation of the
information;
(c) application of analytical procedures on quantitative information and questioning on
qualitative information and its relation with information disclosed in the Sustainability Reports;
(d) confrontation of financial nature indicators with financial demonstrations and/ or
accounting records;
(e) verification if organizational and operational limits defined by AES Eletropaulo, AES Tietê
and AES Sul for the preparation of the Sustainability Reports is aligned with the criteria
established by the Global Reporting Initiative- GRI.
We believe the proceedings applied and the evidence obtained in our work are enough and
appropriate to justify our conclusion to a limited extent.
Range and limitations
Our work had as purpose the application of procedures of limited assurance on the
sustainability information disclosed on the Sustainability Reports of AES Eletropaulo, AES
Tietê and AES Sul, not including the evaluation of the adequacy of its policies, practices and
performance in sustainability.
The procedures applied do not represent an examination in accordance to the Brazilian and
international audit rules. Additionally, our report does not provide limited assurance on the
scope of the future information (as for example: goals, expectations and projections) and
descriptive information that are subject to subjective evaluation.
In a limited assurance work the procedures applied are less extent than those applied in a
reasonable assurance work, therefore the level of assurance obtained is lower than the one in
a reasonable assurance work on the sustainability information disclosed on the Sustainability
Reports of AES Eletropaulo, AES Tietê and AES Sul.
Conclusion
Based on the procedures performed, described in this report, nothing has come to our
attention that leads us to believe that the sustainability information disclosed in the
Sustainability Reports of AES Eletropaulo, AES Tietê and AES Sul, related to the year ended
on December 31, 2012, were not compiled, in all relevant aspects, according to the
Guidelines of the Sustainability Reports of Global Reporting Initiative- GRI (GRI-G3) and with
registrations and files that served as base for its preparation.
