Management Report 2020

Management Report 2020 SLC Agrícola Every year we prepare our greenhouse gas emissions inventory in ac- cordance with the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Protocol Program. The study measures the quality of greenhouse gases that we issue over the year in our direct activities (Scope 1) and in acquisition of elec- tricity (Scope 2). In three years of this work we have found opportunities to improve the methods of calculation and come as close as possible to complete estimates of emissions and carbon capture in the reality of our work in the field. Our goal is to reduce by 25% our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 by investing in new technologies in the field and industry. The financial resources to be invested in projects to achieve this goal were obtained through our first issue of green bonds. In 2020, we raised R$480 million through an issue of Agribusiness Receivables Certifi- cates (CRA) that were classified as Green CRAS in accordance with the opinion and report issued by a third party (second opinion). Selective application of weedkillers We use cutting-edge technology to achieve economic and envi- ronmental gains on our farms. The weedkiller spraying machines have sensors that detect the presence of invasive plants in the soil and command the opening of bi-injectors only in those places. This reduces the use of weedkillers in the plantations by up to 90%. This innovation is still at the pilot phase in one of our farms, and has shown very positive results in terms of expanding it to our other units. TABLE 30.
