We align our business and sustainability objectives, targets, and commitments with our Purpose, Vision, Values and Sustainability Vision, ensuring that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are fully integrated into our business strategy.

The Sustainability Steering Committee—Bracell’s highest governance body for ESG matters—is advised by our top operational leadership, including the heads of forestry operations, mill operations, logistics, legal, internal audit, corporate affairs, and human resources, along with the Vice President of Sustainability. This structure enables a comprehensive analysis of environmental, social and governance risks and impacts.

In addition, Bracell has a Crisis Committee that is convened to manage unexpected events and emergencies, ensuring rapid, coordinated responses to mitigate impacts on operations and stakeholders.

This model supports a governance structure that is both agile and aligned with Bracell’s commitment to sustainability and organizational resilience.

Our strategy and corporate governance are fully compliant with Brazilian legislation, regulatory standards, certifications, and international sustainability standards. We have also subscribed to voluntary commitments. Our corporate policies and internal procedures additionally draw on:

– Brazilian Labor Ministry regulations and standards (NRs)

– the UN Global Compact’s Ten Universal Principles

– the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs)

– the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability¹

– the International Bill of Human Rights

As signatories of the Global Compact, we annually report on progress and results on topics linked to the 10 Universal Principles. Bracell’s Communication on Progress is available here.

We invest in cutting-edge technology throughout our value chain, and have set strategic targets across sustainable growth, climate change mitigation, biodiversity protection, and creating positive value for people.

Our commitments and policies reflect the principles that have guided Bracell’s sustainability journey. Learn about some of the key milestones in this journey:

2025

• Upgrades to the production lines at the pulp plant in Camaçari (BA) introduce new technology that reduces steam demand in the pulping stage known as cooking. Our One-for-One Commitment receives the Eco Award 2025 from the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), in the Process Sustainability category.
• Bracell joins a group of four Brazilian organizations participating in the global pilot of the Nature Positive Initiative (NPI).
• The first Bracell Social Public Call for Projects is launched. The initiative selected nine projects focused on health and well-being, sports, education, culture, environmental education and women’s entrepreneurship and allocated approximately R$600,000 to strengthen civil society organizations in five municipalities in the state of São Paulo.
• We join the Brazil Pact for Business Integrity (Pacto Brasil), an initiative established by the Office of the Comptroller General (CGU). As part of this initiative, we undertook public commitments that have enhanced our human rights practices.
