In order to define the content of its Annual Sustainabil-
ity Report and the respective GRI indicators, in 2015,
IHARA conducted a stakeholder inquiry process, which
culminated in the preparation of its Materiality Matrix.
Through this process, the company learned about the
most relevant issues for itself and its stakeholders.
An online materiality questionnaire was applied, cov-
ering three major themes - Environment, Value Chain
and Economic/Products -, subdivided into seven sub-
jects, to be ordered from the most relevant to the least
relevant. Three strategic stakeholders were selected
to participate in the process: internal public, suppli-
ers and customers. This choice was made based on
the impact of the company's activities, products and
services, as well as its expectations, interests and ca-
pabilities on these audiences.
After preparing the Materiality Matrix, IHARA surveyed
all GRI indicators related to material aspects, select-
ing those that are most important to its business. In
2020, due to the updating of GRI Standards protocols,
IHARA carried out a review of the new indicators, in
order to identify which the company should report in
its report.

IHARA's business strategy is to deliver solutions and invest in re-
search and development to constantly launch products that meet the
complex needs of agriculture, with productivity and sustainability. Its
management tool is the Objectives and Goals Panel, which is the re-
sponsibility of the financial area, monthly shown at a Board meeting.
It includes all the indicators deployed in the corporate strategy for
the other departments: Presidency, Business, Marketing, Technical,
Industrial and Financial Boards. Such indicators are defined once a
year, as per the contribution of each area to achieve the corporate
guideline.
The management of people development at IHARA is monitored
through the Human Development area, which, in turn, has periodic
meetings with the managers of each area. In this approach, the con-
cept used is KSA (Knowledge, Skill and Attitude), and for questions
of Knowledge and Skill, the intervention by the Human Development
area is made by means of training. Issues related to Attitude must
be treated and monitored by the respective managers.
The strategic indicators are broken down by area, with a periodic
monitoring by the senior management, so that monitoring and
intervention are timely when necessary. This control is the driver for
achieving the established goals.
To develop the roles, the Human Development area works with each
manager through the ATP (Annual Training Plan), identifying the
training needs of each employee in the performance of their roles.

ABOUT THE REPORT
Water consumption management is a topic widely discussed at
IHARA. Consumption management is monitored and appraised on a
weekly basis by the Environment department, which reports results
every month to the senior management, with the definitions of caus-
es and actions for positive and/or negative results.
The goal set for reducing water consumption is 5% less than the re-
sult obtained in the previous year. This is measured in an index, that
is, total water collected (for use in utilities - consumption subject
to reduction actions), divided by the volume produced. According to
the results/monitoring, the Environment department, together with
the Sustainability Committee, sets improvement projects for driving,
which are presented to senior management to submit earnings and
authorization for deployment.
The management of water consumption indicators is monthly
assessed by the senior management, as well as monitored and dis-
cussed on a quarterly basis with the Sustainability Committee.
The size of the periodic measurements, causes and actions are de-
fined to achieve the established goals and the continuous improve-
ment in water consumption reduction at IHARA.
