Advances in our corporate governance structure
reflect the evolution of our business and are crucial
for us to fulfill our goal of being a global benchmark in
sustainability. Aligned with our commitment to diversity,
equity and inclusion, in 2022 our Board of Directors
included three women, representing 33.3% of the nine
seats of the body that creates and directs our business
strategy. Because of this composition, we received the
Women on Board (WOB) certification, which recognizes
and values companies that promote diversity in the
corporate environment through the participation of
women on their Boards of Directors or advisory councils.
THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
The Board of Directors frequently assesses the impacts
that social and environmental issues may have on the
business and stakeholders. In this analysis process, the
Board is support by the Management Committee and
the Sustainability Committee, which help directors think
strategically about the future. This includes discussions on
global and pressing matters and on how the company can
help transform certain situations, such as climate change
and poverty reduction.
The Investor Relations section in our website details the
composition of Suzano's governance bodies and their
respective functions. Information about the process
of compensation and performance review of the Board
of Directors, and other indicators, is available in the
Sustainability Center.
