Frasle Mobility's New Positioning and Randoncorp Investments
In an effort to be in line with our commitment to reduce
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, we continue to
develop and monitor our GHG emissions inventory.
This way we can identify the main opportunities to
reach our 40% emissions reduction target. Therefore,
in 2022, considering the base year of 2020, we had an
8% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity.
Our Scope 1 emissions registered a total of 40 thousand
tCO2e, in 2022. For Scope 2, we totaled 11 thousand
tCO2e, a 66% reduction over 2021. Part of this result
was due to the emission factor of the Brazilian energy
matrix. We also registered a drop in total emissions
and in the intensity of emissions in relation to the
previous year, of 31% and 25%, respectively.
In addition, we continually monitor our energy
consumption. In 2022 we consumed 1.9 million GJ of
energy, an increase of 11% over last year. The energy
intensity was 0.08 GJ/hours worked, compared to
0.07 GJ/hours worked in 2021.

Decarbonization of products and processes

indicators in the Attachments on page 123.
In 2022, we calculated the carbon footprint based
on NBR ISO 14.044 and ISO 14.040 methodologies
in a first project in order to compare two products
with different raw material composition and
different manufacturing process of the controlled
Frasle Mobility.
The pilot project was made on the railroad
shoe, with changes in the manufacturing and
formulation process. A tool was also developed
so that all changes, both in process and raw
material, can take into consideration the carbon
footprint.
As a result, we have reduced this product carbon
footprint by 43%. This result is based on ISO
methodology and considers as a premise a 20%
increase in the useful life of the new product
when compared to the previous one.
