Since 2017, the Packaging
Working Group focuses its
actions on three major fronts:
reducing plastic consumption,
particularly flexible films;
acquisition of kraft cardboard
boxes from raw material
stemming from managed forests
or made with 100% recycled
material; and use of secondary
packaging with recycled
materials, such as baling films.
The main goals of the WG and its
progress in 2021 were:
1.2% reduction in total plastic
consumption by 2021: in
the year, we closed the goal
with an accumulated plastic
reduction of 1.48%, avoiding
the consumption of 1,093.35
tons between 2017 and 2021.
*Use 100% of the volume of
cardboard and paperboard
boxes made from recycled
material and/or kraft (virgin)
from raw material extracted
from managed forests. In
addition, communication
is made in our packaging
boxes, by placing stamps
of the responsible forest
management brand.
Materials used in production and packaging
Introducing baling films with
100% recycled material: this
year we consumed 525,618
kg of post-consumer recycled
baling films, representing 59%
of the Company's volume.
The WG relies on the
participation of different areas:
Research & Development,
Supplies, Environment,
Marketing, Sustainability and
Communication. Results are
monitored by the Sustainability
Management through
quantitative indicators.

BIODIVERSITY
GRI 103-2, 103-3 [304
We have a methodology for
identifying and assessing
environmental aspects and
impacts called LAIA, derived
from our industrial operations.
The main aspects of operations
that could generate impacts
on biodiversity are related to
leakage of materials (e.g., raw
materials and ingredients) and
emergency situations, such as
fire and explosion.
For impacts classified as
relevant, operational controls are
in place to mitigate the damage
caused. Currently, we carry out
actions for the conservation
and sustainable use of
biodiversity in Serra das Almas
Natural Reserve in Crateús/CE,
Environmental Preservation
Area (APA) in Salvador/BA, and
in a conservation area recently
acquired in Farroupilha/RS.

Serra das Almas Nature
Reserve (Crateús/CE - 8 km²)
In 2021, we adopted 800
hectares (previously 50) of Serra
das Almas Natural Reserve,
expanding our partnership
with Associação Caatinga, a
non-profit, non-governmental
organization that has been
working for 22 years in the
conservation of land, forests and
waters of the caatinga.
This is the largest Private
Reserve of Natural Heritage in
Ceará. Covering 6,3 hectares,
it is recognized by Unesco
for housing representative
biodiversity of the Caatinga.
Located between Crateús/CE and
Buriti dos Montes/PI, the reserve
shelters 45 species of mammals,
33 types of amphibians, 323
species of plants and 237
different examples of birds.
In addition to the fauna and
flora typical of the semiarid
region, there are six ecological
trails, auditorium, interactive
exhibitions, leisure activities and
lodging facilities. The reserve is
open for visitations.
Environmental Preservation
Area - Aratu Bay
(Salvador/BA - 0.07 km²)
APA is under a continuous
process of recovery, enrichment
and conservation of its
biodiversity. In 2021, 651
seedlings of different species
were planted. The preservation
actions implemented by the
Environment team at Salvador/
BA Unit were approved by the
environmental inspection
technicians of the Department
of Development and Urbanism
(Sedur), an agency linked to the
Municipal Government.
Três Cascatas dos Três Rios
(Farroupilha/RS -0.121 km²)
The property was accepted by
the relevant environmental
agency as an environmental
compensation area. Every year
we conduct aerial monitoring to
track its preservation. In 2021,
a 0.0129 km² displacement
occurred due to a landslide that
damaged the adjacent highway.
However, the forest regeneration
in the area can already be seen.
The remaining area of the
property has full vegetation
cover. All actions adopted in the
area are in compliance with Law
11.428/2006, which provides for
the use and protection of native
vegetation in the Atlantic Forest
biome.View entire presentation
