CERTIFICATIONS
For Minasligas, productivity, operational efficiency, process improvement and growth have
always been associated with concern for the environment and the health and safety of its
employees. To guarantee these principles, maintain our quality and meet the demands of our
customers and the market, we have ISO14001, ISO14064, ISO9001 and ISO45001 Certifications.
We understand that certificates are important recognition of work that would already be done
internally - since it is fundamental to our performance, the way we understand it should happen
- but that needs external validation from relevant organizations such as ISO.
With each strategic decision to obtain a new certification, we carry out important actions such as
reviewing policies and strengthening internal programs, expanding the scope of the subject in
question within the company. Environmental management, for example, was strengthened by
ISO14001 and ISO14064 Certifications, recently achieved, which will provide even greater support
for the ESG Agenda.
We also intend to align ourselves with the ISO50001 Standard, related to energy management
one of our material topics, which is in line with our recent efforts to carry out the company's
Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Carbon Balance.
"In the coming years, I see an increasingly mature Minasligas, capturing
more opportunities in a market that will also evolve, following the demand
of companies to work with "cleaner" products and more aware suppliers.
We are already showing the market that we have this differential, and one
of the best examples is our carbon footprint. We still have many other
actions within this "green flag": our forestry project, which brings several
ecosystem benefits, waste management and transformation into
electricity, among many other actions, both at the factory and at the
reforestation farms.
It is a path with no return. Today, ESG in Minasligas is already a reality. In
a short time, it will be consolidated within the company, with the full
support of the IMS in managing these aspects.
For the future, we believe that all this will stop being a flag for the market,
a fight, and become a consolidated concept. In Minasligas it already is.
Now we need to reinforce communication and engagement with
stakeholders, and manage this issue with commitment and responsibility."
Felipe Simões Zica - Commercial Officer and leader of GT ESG
Carbon balance
The ISO14064 Certification validated our carbon capture and emission
data. The 2020 result was excellent and showed a highly negative balance.
The balance of 2021 showed even more progress in this agenda, with an
emission factor of 0.55 tonCO2eq/ton, and the result of -189,934
tonCO2eq, which means that Minasligas has retained more greenhouse
gases in its planted and native forests than it has emitted in its productive
processes.
We are attentive to the regulatory processes in Brazil for carbon credits
and their commercial use, as they may represent good opportunities for
Minasligas in the near future.
