25 Forest Fire Prevention (Ethos Sector Disclosures) Eldorado Brasil is a member of the Asso- ciation of Planted Forest Producers and Consumers of Mato Grosso do Sul (Reflore/ MS), which brings together strategic players in the forestry value chain. The following were some of our forest fire prevention initiatives in the year: In the second half of 2022, Eldorado organized an interactive educational initiative in 18 schools in Mato Grosso do Sul to enhance engagement around fire prevention, particularly during the dry season, when strong winds can cause wildfires to spread rapidly. The project, called "Eldorado Brasil - Together against wildfires," used interactive role-play to raise awareness about wildfires among more than 10,000 students aged 5 to 15, with over 30 presentations delivered. The participating schools are located in the cities of Inocência, Selvíria, Água Clara, Santa Rita do Pardo, Ribas do Rio Pardo, and Três Lagoas. The goal was to alert students to Actions that are harmful to the environment, and teach them to teach others about fire safety. In collaboration with REFLORE, we ran a prevention campaign under the theme "Zero Wildfires: Consistent Prevention. Swift Reaction," using outdoor advertising, radio spots, and awareness videos disseminated to the general public. The communities surrounding our farms were also engaged through the distribution of leaflets and promotional items. The distributed materials contained information about prevention and contact numbers for emergency situations. We also established a partnership with the Rural Union to provide firefighting equip- ment to train communities neighboring our farms in responding to forest fires. Innovation and Technology GRI 3-3: Management of material topic Innovation is a key enabler of business growth, and is embedded in our organizational culture at Eldorado Brasil. In the workplace, we encourage employees to pitch ideas and suggestions for improvement. This has helped to consistently position Eldorado at the forefront of technological advancements in the pulp sector, and as an industry leader. We take a decentralized approach to innovation, ensuring greater agility in implementing new ideas across three main fronts: Forestry Operations, Mill Operations, and Logistics. Our innovation efforts aim to reduce environmental impacts, optimize the use of natural resources, increase productivity, lower operational costs, improve health and safety for employees and communities, and develop new products. These efforts ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the business through continuous improvement of our field, mill and logis- tics operations. thermo entific Innovative thinking is highly valued within the com- pany. Programs such as Inovar and Inova+ gather ideas from employees in our mill and forestry opera- tions, focusing on process and procedures improve- ments to enhance operational efficiency and create safer and more productive workplace environments. The top ideas are approved, and implemented at the mill and in our forestry assets. In 2022 the Inovar program received more than 293 ideas, of which 97 were successfully implemented at the mill. The Inova+ program implemented 195 employee ideas in forestry operations. The innovations aim to improve process efficiency and environmental safety.
