Company improved significantly in provisions for environmental damages (Environmental Liabilities), which increased from BRL 65.8 million in
2015 to BRL 182.6 million. This increase is not associated with a greater number of environmental liabilities, and is a result of improved man-
agement that allowed the Company to expand the forecast of expenditures from two to five years. Other expenses were divided as follows23:
