This will represent a long-term relationship, aiming to make the market more integral and transparent to the end consumer’, he adds.
Ultracargo, a pioneer in its sector in associating with the Legal Fuel Institute, has been continuously working to maintain high governance standards with the training and engagement of its employees and strategic partners in ethical practices. This includes a rigorous reinforcement in the reputational analysis of commercial relationships, among other initiatives.
Commitment to Governance and Integrity
‘Joining ICL demonstrates our commitment to our clients and aligns with all the efforts we have made to continuously strengthen our governance and integrity practices,’ highlights Décio Amaral, President of Ultracargo. For him, the strategic partnership with the Legal Fuel Institute strengthens both the logistics chain and the country’s development.
Amaral believes that solid connections grounded in ethical principles are essential for moving Brazil toward a fairer and more sustainable future. He hopes that Ultracargo’s membership in ICL will inspire other logistics operators and fuel chain companies to make the same ethical commitment.
Integrated Logistics Solutions
Ultracargo is a company of integrated logistics solutions and the largest independent liquid bulk storage company in Brazil. With more than 1 million cubic meters of installed capacity, the company has terminals in seven Brazilian states: Rondonópolis (MT) and the Ports of Santos (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Aratu (BA), Suape (PE), Itaqui (MA), and Vila do Conde (PA). In addition, it participates in the joint venture of the largest ethanol terminal in the country, located in Paulínia (SP), and is planning to start operations at a new terminal in Palmeirante (TO) in 2025.
For Ultracargo, the future of the market lies in investing in terminals that offer multimodal connections, allowing for operational excellence and the delivery of services that meet customer needs. This directly contributes to improving the logistics of essential products to society, including fuels and biofuels.
Strengthening Logistics Corridors
To achieve these goals, the company is focused on three main fronts: capacity expansion, interiorization of operations, and connecting its terminals with high-efficiency transport modes. These initiatives are aligned to strengthen the Santos/Mato Grosso and Maranhão/Tocantins logistics corridors, which are essential to supply the machinery of the agribusiness with derivatives and facilitate the flow of corn ethanol production.
‘Our positioning in these corridors reinforces our role as a provider of logistics solutions for various chains, removing one of the main obstacles to Brazil’s development potential,’ concludes the President of Ultracargo.
In summary, the partnership with ICL and the governance and integrity strategy adopted by Ultracargo are crucial elements for building an ethical environment in the fuel sector, promoting a fairer and more transparent market.
