Bracell implements annual salary adjustments through collective bargaining negotiations with the unions representing each employee category. These processes foster dialogue and respect for the unions representing our employees.

In addition to fixed salaries, we offer Profit-Sharing Program (PPR) payments. These amounts are defined annually through agreements between the company, a committee elected by employees, and the employee category’s union. For employees at the specialist, coordinator, manager, and senior leadership levels, the PPR is calculated under individual performance contracts, with awards governed by our corporate bonus program.

Collective bargaining agreements cover 95% of direct employees in pulp operations in São Paulo and Bahia, 92% of direct employees in our Southeast paper operations, and 98% of employees in our Northeast paper operations.

The agreements exclude the following employee categories by business unit:

1. Bahia pulp operations: excludes managers and above
2. São Paulo pulp operations: excludes coordinators and above
3. Southeast paper operations: excludes coordinators and above
4. Northeast paper operations: excludes specialists and above
