Bracell offers employees a corporate learning program with a structured training matrix that builds both soft and hard skills. Through our knowledge hub—the Bracell Learning Institute—we offer development tracks tailored to our forestry, mill, logistics, and supporting operations. Training is delivered in both in-person and virtual formats, covering:

1. Leadership Development:
   1. Lidera and Líderes em Ação: our Lidera program is designed for coordinators, while Líderes em Ação is geared to supervisors—with both aimed at building leadership capabilities.
   2. Manager Training Program (MTP): delivered across all RGE Group companies, this program provides a learning track covering strategic topics such as Finance, Supply Chain, and Human Resources, with sessions led by company executives.
   3. Plant Lead Development: a targeted program that prepares high-performing operators to move into leadership positions.
   4. Executive Leadership Program (ELP) / Foundation Leadership Program (FLP) / Country Management Development Program (MDP): To sustain a robust succession pipeline, Bracell runs long-term leadership development programs aligned with RGE Group guidelines. The ELP and FLP are designed for executive and senior management levels, respectively. In addition, the Country MDP serves as a strategic development track for high-potential leaders, delivered in collaboration with ISE in São Paulo. All programs are supported by Management Development Review (MDR) cycles, ensuring alignment between individual growth and global strategic objectives.
2. Managerial & Soft Skills Training: Training to build interpersonal, emotional, and behavioral competencies, helping create a more collaborative and efficient workplace.
3. Gateway Programs: Tailored development tracks for young apprentices, interns, and trainees to support onboarding, cultural integration, and long-term professional growth. Bracell offers Apprentice, Technical Internship, University Internship, and Trainee programs to support early career development, and maintains a talent pool focused on business and operational roles. Technical & Role-Specific Training: Programs designed to ensure compliance with regulations, internal policies, and legal requirements, while fostering employee safety and well-being.
4. Passport Program: A learning track for employees in mill, forestry, and logistics operations, focused on boosting productivity and enhancing performance.
5. Geração Futuro program: launched in 2025 in partnership with the National Industrial Training Service (Senai), this Bracell initiative focuses on talent attraction and retention. The program, primarily intended for employees’ children, provides two-year technical training in pulp and paper, in addition to an English language scholarship and training in Excel and Power BI for participating youth. The initiative has been implemented in Lençóis Paulista (SP). In the year, 32 spots were made available.

Adding to these programs are the following initiatives:

• Academic partnerships: scholarships for graduate courses in Pulp and Paper Technology (offered by the Brazilian Pulp and Paper Technical Association) and for an MBA in Forest Management (offered by the Federal University of Paraná).
• Financial Support for External Training, including grants for a range of educational opportunities, such as:
  • English
  • Trade programs
  • Undergraduate programs
  • Graduate and MBA programs
  • Master’s degrees
• Induction events: Floresta em Foco and Indústria em Foco highlight key aspects of Bracell’s forestry and mill operations, supporting technical and strategic learning.
• MULTI Assessment Center: this tool evaluates employees’ behavioral skills for leadership positions, supporting strategic decision-making and professional development.
• Organizational culture initiatives: these include podcasts featuring company leaders, quizzes, lectures, and the T.O.P.I.C.C. Award, which honors employees who embody the company’s values.

Bracell also provides training focused on gender equity, inclusion of people with disabilities, and inclusive leadership, reinforcing our commitment to a fairer and more respectful workplace.

Integration of Bracell Papéis

In 2025, the full integration of corporate training and development programs into Bracell Papéis was completed, ensuring alignment and equal opportunities across the organization. Among the programs offered were:

• the ELP (Executive Leadership Program), with one senior manager nominated—the program includes a training module delivered in Singapore
• the FLP (Future Leadership Program), with two managers nominated
• the Lidera program, with the participation of eight middle management representatives

A corporate English course was also offered, with six employees participating and, as part of the Trainee Program, four participants joined our Northeast Paper operations. A succession mapping process was also carried out, generating individual development plans.

Bracell Learning Institute

Bracell operates a dedicated knowledge and training hub called the Bracell Learning Institute (BLI). BLI embodies our commitment to employee development and to fostering a culture of continuous learning. Through the institute, we create opportunities to share knowledge via formal training and development activities—both in person and online—as well as hands-on field training.

The BLI delivers learning programs aligned with the needs of our business and operations. These cover regulatory standards, technical and operational topics such as workplace safety, corporate values, company policies and guidelines, leadership development, as well as community training initiatives for prospective operations employees.

In 2025, we began constructing a new Bracell Learning Institute building at our Bahia site. The new facility will be dedicated to the development of employees and members of the surrounding community.
