These actions resulted in the reduction of 450 tons of CO2, an achievement equivalent to planting 2.700 trees, demonstrating the tangible impact of its environmental policies.
The group's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy is robust and comprehensive, extending across several of its units in the state of São Paulo and beyond. In 2024, the São José dos Pinhais unit, in Paraná, will also be supplied by renewable energy sources, marking another significant step in its commitment to the environment.
