Portobello
Portobello's relationship with its 2,600
active suppliers in 2021 is improving year
after year.
Critical Suppliers (5.4% of the total), who
supply the company with essential inputs for
production, are evaluated after the service is
provided for their quality, and must receive
a minimum score of 7. Those who do not
reach this score are submitted to an action
plan to improve their practices. In this
group, mining companies, which extract
clay, gravel, among other materials, are
periodically inspected on-site.
On the other hand, Main Suppliers (16.3%),
responsible for transport and packaging,
need to present an environmental license
and guarantee the quality of the product
under specific conditions (packaging
producers) and sign a term with a series of
requirements.
In the most relevant category, the remaining
27% undertake a contract to follow good
environmental, social and governance
practices. In 2021, all of them complied with
their environmental, social and human rights
obligations, and no cases of child, forced
or slave-like labor were identified. With
the remaining 51.3%, whose relationship
is sporadic, formalization takes place by
purchase order and invoice.
In addition, there is a joint research and
development effort to improve deliveries. In
the period, this type of action occurred with
packaging suppliers. In 2021, boxes were
developed that use 10% less cardboard,
a material that had its cost raised due to
supply shortages. This program eliminated
the need to produce 3 tons of cardboard
a month. The company replaced, with
the support of suppliers, the iron braces
essential to support the load on pallets for
a similar one made of reforested wood,
generating less environmental impact. It
also developed a new angle to transport the
items, totally produced with recycled plastic,
which uses around 180 tons of residues per
month. These angles replace similar ones
made of eucalyptus fiber or cardboard. EPS
sheets are also being changed for molded

pulp sheets made from recycled cardboard,
reducing EPS usage by around 14 cubic
meters (494 cubic feet) per month.
Portobello's premise is to hire local
suppliers, based in states where operations
are located. In the year, 79% of purchases
had municipal, regional and state origins. In
2021, there were no significant changes in
the supply chain.

ENGAGEMENT
The ESG Planning 2022-2026, which will be
implemented by the group, has among its
goals a comprehensive socio-environmental
assessment of suppliers. Currently, the
process is limited to a few groups, as
described above. Portobello does not
use, for example, social or environmental
criteria for selection, and does not measure
relevant details of its supply chain, such
as companies that guarantee freedom of
unionization for employees. To support
this initiative, a management system will
come into operation, which will monitor the
adequacy of this public to environmental
and social criteria, qualifying them with
scores, in addition to controlling contracts,
quotations, documentation, among other
items. It is a work in partnership with the
Compliance area for Supply Chain Due
Diligence. Currently, there is no training
of suppliers, including those working with
security services, in human rights policies.
