NEW PLANTING AREAS
In 2022, we expanded our eucalyptus planting
areas in regions that we consider strategic in the
states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia,
Maranhão and Espírito Santo. In this way, we
were able to expand our forestry base, reaching:
265,000 hectares of new farms.
1.2 million seedlings planted per day.
SUZANO VENTURES:
A LEVER FOR OPEN
INNOVATION
In early 2022, we announced the creation of
Suzano Ventures, a corporate venture capital
fund that seeks to boost startup investments in
Brazil and abroad to accelerate open innovation
processes and encourage entrepreneurship
around bioeconomic solutions based on
planted forests.
The fund plans to invest US$70 million in
early-development initiatives and more
advanced projects, as well as in acceleration
programs in the laboratory phase or those
seeking commercial validation.
INVESTMENTS
Capital investments (Capex) totaled R$16.3 billion
in 2022, a 157% increase over 2021. The increase
was primarily due to the execution of the Cerrado
Project, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, and to
land and forest base expansions.
R$ 39.7 billions is the total investment in
the last five years.
R$ 18.5 billion is the investment we
approved for 2023.
INDUSTRIAL MODERNIZATION
Start of major industrial modernization
construction projects to reduce the cash cost
of pulp and increase operational efficiency. The
highlights include:
Jacareí: implementation of a Master Plan that
includes the replacement of the bleaching system
with more modern technology, reducing the use
of chemical products. This will also increase energy
exports and reduce carbon emissions.
Aracruz: retrofit of a recovery boiler and
installation of a crystallization system to capture
ash, increasing energy and production efficiency.
Imperatriz: approval of a project to use natural
gas, reducing emissions.

PRESENCE IN CHINA
西虹市
In 2022, we made significant progress
in serving the Chinese market with the
creation of our Asia Business Development
Executive Department. In our commercial
office in Shanghai, our dedicated teams are
driving the development of new markets and
applications in areas where we do not yet
have a significant presence.
We approved the creation of an Innovability
Hub, inaugurated in March 2023 in Shanghai,
which will be a base for the development of
new bio-based materials, such as powdered
lignin, MFC, bio-oil and other biocomposites.
