Celebrating 10 Years at BM&FBOVESPA
This year, Lojas Renner completed again, voluntarily,
the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) questionaire -
formulated by institutional investors and addressed to
the companies listed on the main stock exchanges of the
world, for the disclosure of information about climate
changes policies. Currently, the CDP represents investors
who, together, move US$87 trillion. Since 2011, when
it began participating in the program, Lojas Renner's
performance has evolved significantly.

Sustainability and products
The development and reach of initiatives to minimize direct and indirect environmental
impacts of the production and use of its products is an effort that is increasingly part of the
Company's environmental management in special projects.

CARBON FOOTPRINT OF THE JEANS
The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of a product is the measurement
of its "environmental footprint" through a comprehensive study
of the impacts from the extraction of the raw material to its final
destination, going through the stages of production, distribution,
consumption and disposal. In 2015, Lojas Renner held a pilot
project in partnership with the GVces (Sustainability Studies
Center of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation's Business Administration
School), which calculated the carbon footprint, from the "cradle
to the grave" of a basic women's jeans sold in its stores.
For usage stage, 3 different scenarios were calculated taking into
consideration the user behavior.
We can conclude that, regarding the jeans' carbon footprint,
the usage stage is the one that generates more environmental
impacts, and that a small change in the end consumer behavior
can significantly reduce this impact.
In order to further study the LCA, the water footprint of the same
jeans is scheduled to be conducted in 2016, complementing the
carbon footprint information.

SUSTAINABILITY IN THE JEANS CHAIN
The project aims to develop the jeans chain within the sustainability pillars, as it is the chain that generates more
negative impacts to the environment through heavy water consumption, use of chemicals, waste generation and energy
consumption. The project has an average duration of six months and covers topics such as effluent treatment, water
consumption, energy efficiency and chemical consumption.
Lojas Renner seeks, through this project, to mitigate impacts and eliminate risks, training and directing suppliers to the
adoption of best practices, mainly regarding important aspects for the availability of natural resources and the sustainability
of the Company's operations, such as conscious and efficient water consumption in the production process. Since its
implementation, in 2013, 13 jeans suppliers already took part in it, which together account for over 60% of the Company's
sales volume. Among the benefits achieved with the project, are: adequacy of effluent treatment plants, proper waste
management, reduction of energy consumption and waste disposal.
