Environmental
management
Given the nature of our business,
with the production of bioenergy and
biofuels, we are aware of our potential
for generating a positive impact
because our activities and products
contribute to the reduction of CO2
in the atmosphere. Furthermore, our
mills operate in the circular economy
model by taking advantage of
subproducts as inputs for production.
Besides, we mitigate possible adverse
impacts through monitoring and
initiatives spanning from cultivation
to industry. Check out below our
initiatives and how we manage
environmental aspects.
Responsibility
during cultivation
| 103-2 and 103-3: Effluents and waste |
103-2 and 103-3: Environmental compliance |
To ensure strong and productive
sugarcane plantations, the responsibility
for the crops begins by choosing
the areas, respecting the legal limits
established in Brazil's Forestry Code,
preparing the soil by enrichening it
and by preserving and restoring native
vegetation whenever necessary.
Regarding fertilizers and inputs, we
reuse subproducts generated in the
production process in our farming
activities-vinasse, wastewater,
filter cake and ashes from biomass
boilers to contribute to eliminating
waste disposal and reduce the costs
of treating the soil.
To ensure that we comply with all
legal requisites, we have a Vinasse
Application Plan that includes
respect for the environmental
legislation of each state where we
are present, in addition to requisites
for operational planning.
In addition, we monitor possible
vinasse leakages per ton
of crushed cane to improve
operational performance and
reduce environmental vulnerability.
Notwithstanding the greater number
of leakages in relation to the previous
crop year, the volume in 2019/2020, of
1,098 m³, was less than the 2,007 m³
recorded in 2018/2019.
| 304-2 | 306-3 | 307-1 |
See full information about environmental
compliance and incidents in the GRI Appendix.
Fire prevention
| 103-2 and 103-3: Biodiversity |
To mitigate the occurrence of
fires and preserve areas of natural
vegetation and fauna, our harvesting
is 100% mechanized, and we do not
engage in the habit of controlled fires
for cutting sugarcane.
We work to guidelines and protocols
for the safety of our operations using
the Atitude System, which includes
the farm fire Critical Activities
Requisites (RAC) for preventing and
fighting them.
Find out more about the Atitude System
in Members.
We train operators and firefighters
who provide support in possible
incidents, while all our units have
fire teams and a fire truck on each
harvesting front.
In the 2019/2020 crop year,
we registered 23 fires that
originated internally.
