Reasons that led to the termination	In 2025, a total of 388 suppliers were approved despite the identification of social nonconformities, following a structured risk assessment conducted via the Linkana platform. Linkana classifies suppliers on an A–E scale across three dimensions—Compliance, Environmental Legal, and Financial. Of the approved suppliers, 98% (381 suppliers) presented a finding related to the CAT (Work Accident Communication, in Portuguese) document. This type of finding is recurrent in the market and, based on Bracell’s materiality criteria, does not constitute a critical risk to business continuity. In line with the Supplier Management Procedure, all cases were reviewed by the Compliance department where applicable, and formal follow-up plans were established to implement the necessary corrective actions, as set forth in the approval documentation matrix. Under the document scoring methodology, a CAT-related finding results in a deduction of seven (7) points from the supplier’s final score. Considering the recurring nature of this specific finding in the market, the elevated number of suppliers in this category is expected and, by itself, does not represent a material impediment to continued contracting.

Nota: Em 2025, 388 fornecedores foram aprovados com apontamentos sociais após avaliação de risco via plataforma Linkana, que classifica os parceiros de A a E, considerando critérios de Compliance, Jurídico Ambiental e Financeiro. Desse total, 98% (381 parceiros) apresentaram apontamento de risco relacionado ao documento CAT (Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho), uma ocorrência recorrente no mercado que não representa risco crítico à continuidade do negócio. Seguindo o Procedimento de Gestão de Fornecedores, os casos foram validados por Compliance (quando aplicável), sendo estabelecidos planos de acompanhamento para as correções necessárias, conforme previsto na matriz de documentos para aprovação. De acordo com a matriz de pontuação de documentos, o apontamento no documento CAT resulta na redução de 7 pontos no score final do fornecedor. Considerando a recorrência desse tipo de apontamento no mercado, entende-se o elevado número de fornecedores com essa classificação, sem que isso represente, por si só, um risco relevante para a continuidade da contratação.
