the use of the appropriate PPE for the preparation of the product and its correct form of application. These professionals are also trained to provide the neces- sary assistance, recommending the correct time of application and the necessary doses of each product. In addition to complying with legal requirements, the company carries out actions aimed at society, distrib- utors and the chemical industry. Examples of safety and good practices in the field, such as the Cultivida project, are detailed below. PRODUCT LABELING AND INFORMATION GRI 417-1 The labels and package inserts of all IHARA products are prepared in accordance with legal requirements, offering information on the correct use, composition and active ingredients, in addition to the indication of environmental hazard and toxicity to health, all in ac- cordance with Decree No. 4,074, of January 4, 2002, Article 49. 30 IHARA PORTFOLIO CULTIVIDA Launched in 2012, the Cultivida project aims to guide rural producers on the correct and safe use of pesti- cides, in addition to disseminating good practices and training public agents to identify and treat the health conditions of the rural population. This important ini- tiative by IHARA collaborates to reduce and mitigate cases of contamination, intoxication and occupational accidents related to pesticides in Brazil. Between 2012 and 2016, Cultivida visited 20 munici- palities in 13 Brazilian states, benefiting more than 8,000 people, including health agents and smallholder farmers and their families. These people received im- portant information through lectures and educational and recreational actions related to good agricultur- al practices, such as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), application technology, disposal of empty packaging, use of pesticides and also other top- ics family and women's health. Through a partnership with the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Cul- tivida also involved the training of health professionals in the Unified Health System (SUS) in the regions, with a total of 1,738 people trained in the five years of the project. As of 2017, the Cultivida project entered the distribution of PPE phase, with more than 600,000 PPE delivered by 2020. PPE DISTRIBUTED (THOUSAND) PACKAGES RECYCLING In line with its philosophy, principles and values, IHA- RA is responsible for all stages involved in its produc- tion chain, seeking sustainable solutions compatible with each of its activities. One concern concerns the environmentally correct disposal of post-consumer crop protection product packaging, which is why IHA- RA participates in the Campo Limpo System (SCL), which is mainly financed by crop protection products to enable reverse logistics of empty packaging or con- taining post-consumer leftovers and coordinated by inpEV (inpev.org.br). In addition to being associated with inpEV, IHARA is also part of the Institute's Board of Directors. The Campo Limpo System is an internationally rec- ognized model of success. Through this program, we give the correct destination for the packaging of agri- cultural pesticides, avoiding negative impacts on the environment due to inadequate disposal, which could compromise the soil, surface water and groundwater. With an environmentally appropriate destination of 94% of the commercialized plastic packaging, Brazil has become a world reference in this area, accumu- lating 600 thousand tons of recycled packaging since 2002, with 49.8 thousand tons, only in 2020. Through its Sustainability program, IHARA aims to engage its customers on environmental issues, through the elab- oration of projects that combine reduction of environ- mental impact, social and economic benefits. 160 130 110 217 17 18 19 20 20 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT IHARA 2019 31
