Environmental management guidelines
GRI 2-25, 3-3
We seek, on a daily basis, to develop our
operations with the least possible
environmental impact and also focusing on
criteria such as preservation, reuse, and
sustainable options. Our environmental
management begins with the Sustainability
Committee, which is the bridge with the Board
of Directors and supports Senior Management
in defining and forwarding strategies related
to ESG, innovation and people issues.
Our operational activities are developed
considering the promotion of preservation and
protection of the environment and the
prevention of pollution. We have a structured
Environment Area, together with the
Integrated Management System Management
(SGI), ensuring the management of significant
environmental aspects and impacts, in addition
to monitoring the legal aspects related to the
Company's activities. For this reason, we
maintain an environmental risk matrix, which
is constantly updated.
From a legal point of view, our business and
activities are subject to a wide range of laws,
rules, and regulations, at the federal, state, and
municipal levels, related to the protection of
the environment. This entails several
obligations of an environmental nature. Our
activities require the constant obtaining and/
or renewal of environmental licenses, on which
we depend for the installation and operation of
the production units.
Regardless of legal requirements, what moves us
in our environmental management are our
beliefs. Concern for the planet and the
environment has always been part of our essence,
and is expressed in our corporate identity.
A very emblematic case is the biological
products segment, in which we have invested
and grown significantly in recent years. These
are products that have proven effectiveness
and advantageous costs compared to
traditional chemical products. And its
operation offers lower toxicity and lower risk
of environmental and human contamination.
Thus, below we address our management
strategies and initiatives with regard to water
resources, energy efficiency, waste, and
emissions, in addition to reporting the amount
of materials used.
With regard to biodiversity, it is important to
emphasize that our operations do not have a
significant impact on the biodiversity of the
regions close to our units. Even so, work is still
underway aimed at enabling us to structure
and report, in a standardized manner,
information and data related to biodiversity in
our geographic areas.
