GRI 204-1 Proportion of spending on locally-based suppliers

In 2025, our supplier network included 1,513 registered partners with active contracts supporting operations at Bracell and Bracell Papéis (Lençóis Paulista (SP) site). In our Bahia and Pernambuco operations—Bracell and Bracell Papéis—we had a total of 6,464 suppliers with active contracts. In total, we had 7,977 registered suppliers, of which 1,816 held active contracts in our operations.

We sourced 69% of our supplier spend locally in São Paulo—for both Bracell and Bracell Papéis operations—and 12% in Bahia, for Bracell operations. At Bracell Papéis Nordeste, 3% of supplier spend was local—for operations in Feira de Santana (BA), São Gonçalo dos Campos (BA), and Pombos (PE).

Local suppliers are defined as those based in the states where our operational sites are located. The percentage of spending on local suppliers is calculated across all sites. For confidentiality reasons, Bracell does not report financial data.
