SUMMARY
INTEGRATED REPORT / JSL 2021
ASSURANCE
REPORT
JSL maintains partnerships with vehicle
manufacturers focused on investments
in R&D, with the objective of enabling the
use of alternative energies. The company
also seeks to make projects viable in
partnership with its customers, with a focus
on mitigating and offsetting emissions.
For its operations, the Company developed
a study to implement the Renewable
Energy Project, to define the best source
of energy for each branch. In addition, the
company maintains a fleet of vehicles with
low average age, today one of the newest
in the country (about three years, against a
national average of approximately 19 years).
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
INCREASE INVESTMENTS IN
RESEARCH INTO NEW
TECHNOLOGIES
The main indicator to monitor JSL's
GHG emissions profile is intensity, on
which the parent company SIMPAR'S
goal of a 15% reduction by 2030 was
built. There are no additional metrics
or forward-looking metrics related to
climate, and the performance of the
decarbonization strategy is not linked to
the Company's compensation policies.
RESILIENCE AND
ADAPTATION
The Company is maturing its understanding of
business adaptability, based on tools such as
the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The
scenario analysis tools consider two paths: one
in which JSL does not implement low-carbon
technologies and continues to increase its
proportional levels of emissions; and another
in which the Company implements low-carbon
technologies and reduces emissions. For the
latter, a greater incentive to use alternative
vehicles is expected.
Although it maintains a robust decarbonization
strategy, JSL cannot say that it is in line with a
scenario of 2°C or less.
In Brazil, there are still no laws that regulate the
carbon market. However, the company prepares
itself for this scenario, participating in discussion
forums, studying and testing new equipment and
technologies in order to be prepared and resilient
to changes that may occur.
MATURITY IN
GOVERNANCE
Through the Sustainability Committee and the
discussions it raises with senior management,
the assessment of climate change and its risks
and opportunities occurs frequently at JSL. The
Risk Management Policy guides the actions of
mapping, control, mitigation and prioritization of
the most relevant factors, with the elaboration of
the climate risk matrix.
The strategic plan for transitioning to a low
carbon economy is guided by leadership
engagement and analysis of how climate risks
and opportunities affect their products and
services (e.g. changing fuel technologies and
consequently the portfolio), its value chain
(with stricter controls from partners and
partnerships for carbon control and mitigation),
its investments (seeking alliances with other
companies and capital allocated to innovation)
and its operations.
