Waste management
| 103-2 and 103-3: Effluents and
waste | 306-2|
We are constantly striving to reduce
the amount of waste we generate. This
crop year, the quantity we channeled
to landfills was zero. Total waste during
the period was 4,855 tons, a reduction
of 16.7% over the previous period. More
than 98% of waste generated was
co-processed, sold, reused or recycled.
Revenue generated was R$1,605,465,
for total expenditure of R$1,111,889,
representing a 144% conversion
to revenue.
Full data can be found in the GRI Appendix.
In addition to awareness actions at
the plants, other measures include
cleaning and reusing oil drums;
washing and separation of the
contaminated parts of hydraulic oil
hoses; we have also replaced rags
with reusable towels at the internal
workshop for contaminated waste.
Management of emissions
| 103-2 and 103-3: Emissions | 305-1 |
305-2 | 305-3 | 305-4 | 305-5|
Managing carbon and energy
efficiency indicators are part of our
planning, enabling us to actively
contribute to the National Policy on
Biofuels (Renova Bio). Through our
business model we capture CO2 from
the atmosphere by changing the
use of soil, thereby contributing to
reducing greenhouse gas emissions
(GHG), and we avoid emissions by
substituting fuels with ethanol.
In 2019, we emitted a total of 672,000
tCO2e, equivalent to 33 kg if CO₂e per
ton of crushed sugarcane, lower than
the intensity of the emissions recorded
during the previous crop year, of
36.4 kg tCO2e/tc. In addition, during
the period we avoided issuing 5.6 million
tCO2e by using ethanol produced and
electricity exported. Indirect emissions
from electrical energy consumption
totaled 2.16 thousand tCO2e, against
1.69 thousand tCO2e in the previous
period from energy consumption in
the offseason period in the months
between December and March 2019.

The indicators are monitored using
the emissions inventory under the
Brazilian GHG Protocol Program
applied to data for the fiscal year,
and another methodology developed
by the State University of Campinas
(Unicamp) specifically for the sugar-
ethanol sector whose information is
ascertained on a crop year basis.
Information about RenovaBio can be found
in Vision of the Future. To check the full tables
of emission indicators, see the GRI Appendix.
