Innovation
Researching, developing and incorporating new technologies and
solutions for agribusiness is one of the growth drivers in which we
invest to increase efficiency and productivity on our farms. We are a
pioneering company (early-adopter) in integrating these technolo-
gies, because we believe in the competitive advantages of this oper-
ational model.

The AgroExponential Program, in partnership with the innovation
consulting firm Innoscience, is one of our fronts for connecting with
startups. The second edition, which occurred in 2020, selected six
companies to carry out the prototyping of solutions on our farms,
for which three rollouts were approved.
The Ideas&Results Program focuses on fostering innovation among
our employees. With the support of training and education in inno-
vation methodologies, the platform opens opportunities for profes-
sionals to suggest improvements and new businesses connected to
our challenges. By the end of 2020, nearly 200 ideas had already
been presented, six of which already have rollout plans approved,
given their success in testing phases and the evaluation of results.
Last year, we also developed a new business model to expand innovation
in our business model, with the creation of SLC Ventures to operate in
two strategic vectors. The first is for direct investments by the company
in startups with innovative solutions and a minimum viable product
(MVP). The second vector is for selecting projects with prospects for
causing high impacts on development in a controlled environment (ven-
ture building).
