According to João Leão, Secretary of Economic Development of the State, “We welcome Bracell, one of the largest producers of dissolving pulp in the world, an example of quality, technology, and sustainable development, but its commitment to our state goes beyond that; the investment in social development benefits more than 60,000 people in three territories in Bahia. And this is what we are building in this important relationship with the sector: we want economic development linked to social and human development.”

According to Mouana Fonseca, manager of Institutional Relations and Social Responsibility at Bracell BA, “Bracell’s entrepreneurship program trains leaders so that they can develop projects and access tenders that enhance their social businesses, giving them more autonomy. Just this year, we had four productive groups with projects accessing tenders.”
