Between June 3 and 7, EDP, an energy distributor from the Alto Tietê, Vale do Paraiba and North Coast of Sao Paulo, has planned a number of initiatives for National Environment Week. Any customers registering to receive their electricity bills via e-mail will receive a cost-saving, efficient and sustainable LED light bulb.

O n June 5, World Environment Day, customers visiting EDP agencies and who are registered to receive their electricity bills via e-mail will receive an LED pocket lamp keychain. The agencies in São José dos Campos, Mogi das Cruzes, Taubaté, Itaquaquecetuba, Jacareí, Guaratinguetá, Suzano, Lorena, Ferraz de Vasconcelos and Caçapava will be taking part. 

National Environment Week was created in 1981 to encourage community involvement in protecting Brazil’s natural resources. World Environment Day, on June 5, was suggested by the United Nations Conference on the Environment held in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1972.

EDP is committed to raising customer awareness in its concession areas and has organized a campaign to promote the initiative. “Our actions reflect EDP’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), a UN agenda to promote better environmental practices before 2030. Initiatives such as these promote smarter day-to-day consumption practices and increase our global environmental protection efforts”, said Dominic Schmal, Executive Director of Sustainability at EDP.

Electricity bill by e-mail

Over 350 thousand customers in the 28 cities serviced by EP in São Paulo currently receive their energy bills by e-mail. This saves the equivalent of 420 trees per year.

At the company uses its customer relationship channels to encourage e-mail billing. When customers subscribe to virtual billing, they not only help protect the environment by decreasing dependency on paper, they also receive their bill much earlier, making the billing process much more convenient.

Registering for email billing is simple: access EDP Online (www.edponline.com.br), use the company app which is available for all smartphone and tablet platforms, call our customer service channels or visit one of our local branches.

At EDP Online, customers can also choose to receive Scheduled Maintenance Updates and other Company communications by e-mail.
