SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022

TCFD
We formally support the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and report potential
climate-related financial impacts based on its recommendations.
GOVERNANCE
The Board of Directors, supported by the
Sustainability Committee, is responsible for
overseeing the sustainability strategy, including
climate change aspects. In 2022, part of the
variable compensation of executive directors was
linked to sustainability target; our CEO and five
directors have climate-related targets.
Climate change and its potential effects are
considered a priority corporate risk. Accordingly,
we have a structured system to evaluate, address,
monitor and report this risk.
In 2022, the Investment Committee began
to consider sustainability criteria, including
climate change, in its evaluations of industrial
modernization projects.
Engagement and awareness - We strengthened
our dialogue and partnership with governments,
companies, non-governmental organizations,
associations and academic institutions through
active participation in forums and working
groups. Internally, we created multidisciplinary
working groups.
STRATEGY
Our future depends on our ability to innovate and
our responsibility to optimize the use of available
resources. Based on the opportunities created
by this assumption we defined our long-term
strategic vision:
1. Continue to be an industry benchmark in
efficiency, profitability and sustainability, from
the forests to the customers.
2. Be a transforming agent in the expansion of
our biomass into new markets.
3. Be a benchmark in sustainable and innovative
solutions for the bioeconomy and environmental
services, based on cultivated trees.
METRICS AND TARGETS
We disclosed more than 100 indicators used
to assess climate risks and opportunities,
including scopes 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions
and removals, calculated in line with the GHG
Protocol methodology. Part of these metrics is
also incorporated into operational performance
indicators, with specific targets to be achieved.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Since 2019, we have implemented initiatives to
improve climate change management, in line
with best practices in this area. This effort has
involved mapping and formalizing climate risk and
opportunity management processes in several
areas. We started to perform annual assessments
of compliance with the TCFD recommendations,
based on criteria set by the Accounting for
Sustainability's TCFD Maturity Map. This diagnosis
has shown that our level of maturity regarding
compliance with the TCFD criteria has increased
over time, reaching 79% in 2022.
In 2022, we contracted an external consultancy
aiming to expand our capacity to analyze and
manage physical and transition risks in different
climate scenarios, including our forestry, industrial
and logistics operations, as well as some critical
suppliers, totaling 50 locations. The result of this
work will help us improve the financial quantification
of mapped risks and climate governance. This study,
combined with the increased use of internal carbon
pricing to assess projects and manage the transition
risk of a future carbon market, led to an increase in
our score in the field of Strategy and Management
of Risks and Opportunities.
Following the continuous development of a
strategic approach to managing climate-related
risks and opportunities, as well as the results of
studies developed in 2022, these practices will be
incorporated into our business throughout 2023.
