Vittia Annual Report 2022

VITTIA 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. Annual Report 2022 105
