The Economic, Social, and Environmental Sustainability of Brazil Applied to Holding Eletrobras on Hydroelectric Power Generation Segment

This paper aims to present a literature review on the topic of economic, social, and environmental sustainability of Brazil in hydroelectric power generation segment. This theme is very important, given the challenges facing the energy industry to find a balance or trade-off among economic, social, and environmental dimensions, also known as triple sustainability. The hydropower industry looking for a solution to these challenges involving different stakeholders who seek to defend their interests; this solution should be able to evaluate its performance, ensure continuous improvement over the years to be applied in the future under the guidance of the holding company Eletrobras. The implementation of hydroelectric generating major impacts on ecosystems, society and the economic system, but also helps to reduce energy dependence of the country is a renewable and clean energy. The solution to these problems is to try to encourage adoption of various practices and redress mechanisms, such as the introduction of tax incentives to promote environmental responsibility in business in finding a sustainable balance. One goal of this work is to contribute to the understanding of sustainability in the hydropower industry to help promote sustainability in this industry in order to promote sustainable development in the future.
