PERFORMANCE STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
EVOLUTION OF THE MAIN
INDICATORS AND GOALS
GRI 102-44, 102-47
Packaging
We set the goal of reducing
total plastic consumption by
1.2% p.a. In 2021, we were
able to reduce 0.71% of flexible
plastic from packaging and
we stopped consuming 99.34
tons of films in the year, with
an accumulated reduction of
1.48% in the year and 1,093.35
tons from 2017 to 2021. There
is a limit on the thickness of
the packaging for product
protection and machinability,
therefore we need to use the
minimum amount of plastic,
without jeopardizing the
packaging function and the
plant productivity. Due to
this, reducing the weight of
plastic packaging is a major
technological challenge.
We met the goal of using 100%
of the volume of cardboard and
paperboard boxes made from
recycled material and/or kraft
(virgin) from raw material
extracted from managed
forests.
Regarding the goal of
introducing baler films with
100% recycled material, this
year we consumed 525,618
kg of post-consumer recycled
baling films, representing
59% of the Company's volume
(except Mills). Since 2017,
we have been increasing the
consumption of recycled
baling film, reducing the
amount of virgin resin used.
However, maintaining the
product quality remains as a
challenge, in addition to the
lack of suppliers for baling film
with a higher percentage of
recycled resin.
Inputs and Sustainable
Value Chain
We kept our goal of qualifying
100% of suppliers of raw
materials classified as critical
to the Company's business. In
addition, we continue with the
transition project for cage-
free egg consumption, with
progress reporting on M. Dias
Branco website.
Nutrition and Health
We achieved the goal
of keeping 100% of the
products in the domestic
market produced without
hydrogenated partial fat.
In 2021, we did not meet
the goal of increasing the
share of products with a
more nutritious profile in the
company's portfolio, with
26.20% in 2020 and 23.55%
in 2021. In this sense, an
important initiative was the
acquisition of Latinex, which
has products with higher
health appeal.
Environment
We achieved the goal of
effectively reducing waste
generation in all units. The
generation of waste per ton
produced was 1.5% lower as
compared to 2020, as a result
of various actions to improve
the production process and the
Landfill Zero Program.
We achieved the goal of
implementing water reuse
in units equipped with
Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP). The growth was
9.2% compared to 2020.
Due to the reduction in
production volumes and
the increase in routine
maintenance of the units,
the relative consumption of
water showed 8% increase
as compared to 2020 and
we did not achieve the goal
of reducing the relative
consumption of water as
compared to the previous year.
Sustainability Culture,
Human Rights and
Diversity
We partially achieved the goal
of applying Sustainability
contents in 100% of training
trails of the Schools of the
Corporate University. The focus
of corporate education actions
were leaders, industry and
Employee during social action promoted in a supported institution
commercial employees, and
did not include some groups of
professionals.
The measurement of the goal
of reaching a ratio over 90 in
"Sustainability and Diversity"
item was not possible, since the
Company did not conduct the
organizational climate survey
in the last few years. In the last
survey, carried out in 2018, the
ratio was 82.5.
Climate Change,
Energy and Emissions
We exceeded the goal of 2%
reduction in the relative
energy consumption versus
the previous year. We had
an improvement in energy
intensity, especially when
comparing 2020 (166.8) and
2021 (139.0), with a 16.6%
improvement.
We achieved the goal of
monitoring greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, including
in the inventory of emissions
of scope 3. In addition, we
improved the performance
of our score in the Climate
dimension of the CDP, which
went from "D" to "B-" in 2021.
Communities and Social
Investment
We partially achieved the goal
of keeping social investment
in 100% of manufacturing
units. Despite making product
donations to institutions close
to all our plants and various
distribution centers, we carried
out community engagement
actions (volunteer actions and
social projects) in 57.14% of
the manufacturing units in
2021.
We achieved the goal
of applying the social
investment impact assessment
methodology in 100% of
the manufacturing units by
2021, applying assessment
and accountability forms
in supported projects and
benefited institutions.
Occupational Health and
Safety
Accident Frequency Rate in
2021 was 0.68, failing to meet
the goal of having a maximum
of 0.5.
Accident Severity Rate in 2021
was 13.53, failing to meet the
goal of staying below 10.
Regarding the goal
of implementing the
Occupational Safety
management system in all
units, based on the Positivo
Program, we advanced in
two more units (Jaboatão
dos Guarapapes/PE and Rio
de Janeiro/RJ) during 2021,
totaling 73% of the units.
We achieved the goal of
keeping at zero the Frequency
Rate of occupational
diseases, with Work Accident
Communication (CAT).
We achieved the goal of
maintaining at zero the
number of CAT issued due to
Hearing Loss and Noise (PAIR)
of industrial employees.View entire presentation
