46 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.
