EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The fundamentals of the pulp market remained favorable in the second quarter of 2022, marked by positive demand and several factors constraining pulp supply, sustaining a scenario of low availability in the chain and supporting continued implementation of price increases over the period. In this scenario, the Company delivered consistent operational performance with strong sales volume, due to the higher availability of production in a period less affected by scheduled maintenance downtimes. Pulp production cash cost remained pressured by commodity prices, which remained at high levels, but declined slightly in the quarter due to greater availability of industrial operations. In the paper segment, EBITDA set a new record, advancing 58% on the same period last year, driven by solid demand in in all market segments, which had a positive impact on the implementation of price increases. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was a record for a second quarter (R$6.3 billion) and adjusted EBITDA/ton reached the highest level in the Company's history.
In liability management, net debt in USD remained stable despite the ongoing investment cycle, while leverage in USD, measured by net debt/Adjusted EBITDA in the last 12 months, fell to 2.3 times. The result of cash flow hedge operations once again attested to the long-term consistency of the financial policy in managing foreign exchange risk, with positive mark-to-market and cash adjustments in cash flow (ZCC).
On its ESG agenda, in 2Q22, Suzano published its Annual Sustainability Report and Sustainability Center related to 2021, which jointly address the Company’s material aspects, as well as indicators and performance in frameworks such as GRI and TCFD, among others. Moreover, maintaining the good practice started in 2021, on June 23, the Company performed its second ESG Call, a multi-stakeholder event, focusing in this edition on the material topics Climate Change, Social Development and Biodiversity Conservation.
During the quarter, Suzano continued advancing on its strategic avenues. In June, in the scope of the avenue of being Best-in-Class in the Total Pulp Cost vision, it has performed the transactions related to Parkia and to the operation of Caravelas, whose areas became strategic after the merger with Fibria, seeking efficiency gains in its cost of capital. Also in June, under the scope of the strategic avenue of Advancing in the Links of the Chain, the Company announced plans to build a tissue paper and kitchen towel conversion plant in the city of Aracruz, with production capacity of 60,000 tons per year. Suzano plants to fund the investment of around R$600 million using ICMS tax credits it has in the state of Espírito Santo, which will depend on presenting the specific project and authorization by the applicable public authorities. Furthermore, on the avenue Expand Boldly into New Markets, we announced in the period the creation of Suzano Ventures, the Company’s Corporate Venture Capital, which will have US$70 million in funds available for investment in startups. Through the initiative, Suzano plans to accelerate its open innovation process and become a global platform to foster entrepreneurship involving solutions for the bioeconomy based on planted forests.
Lastly, the Cerrado Project remained on its physical (21%) and financial (15%) schedule, maintaining the expectations in terms of capex and startup date previously disclosed to the market.

PULP BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
PULP SALES VOLUME AND REVENUE
In the second quarter of the year, the market scenario continued to be marked by positive demand and a combination of various unexpected factors and logistics constraints that affected pulp supply and sustained higher hardwood pulp prices.
On the pulp demand side, the Tissue and Printing & Writing paper markets in the USA and Europe maintained solid levels supported by stronger internal demand and lower imported paper volumes. The Russia-Ukraine conflict continued to affect global input and energy prices; however, paper producers were able to pass through these increases to paper prices. In China, printing and writing paper were the segments most affected by the lockdown due to the zero-COVID policy, but solid demand for Tissue paper and paperboard was observed, the last one due to higher export volumes.
Constraints also were observed on the supply side in the quarter, with a concentration of scheduled downtimes in the northern hemisphere and several unscheduled downtimes in all regions. The market also continues to face difficulties in hiring workers in highway and rail infrastructure in Europe and North America, which add pressure on the domestic logistics chain, which, combined with the still persistent crisis in the maritime logistics chain, contribute to the imbalance in global supply and demand.
In this context, average PIX/FOEX prices in the quarter for hardwood pulp increased 25% in the Chinese market and by 8% in Europe compared to the previous quarter.
Moreover, the maintenance of the difference between softwood and hardwood pulp prices continued to incentivize an important trend in substitution between fibers. According to PIX/FOEX, the difference between softwood and hardwood pulp prices at the end of the quarter was US$134/t in Europe and US$181/t in China.
In this scenario, Suzano’s pulp sales amounted to 2,663 thousand tons, increasing 12% and 5% in relation to 1Q22 and 2Q21, respectively. Meanwhile, the average net price in USD of the pulp sold by Suzano was US$726/t, an increase of 13% from 1Q22. In the export market, the average net price realized by the Company was US$ 732/t, an increase of 15% on the same basis of comparison.
The net average price in BRL was R$3,517/ton in 2Q22, increasing 6% and 7% from 1Q22 and 2Q21, respectively, due to the higher net average price in USD, despite the appreciation in average BRL against USD (also of 6% and 7%, respectively).
Net revenue from pulp increased 19% and 13% from 1Q22 and 2Q21, respectively, due to the higher net average price in USD (+13% and +15%) and the higher sales volume (+12% and +5%), which were partially offset by the appreciation in average BRL against USD (6% and 7%).

PULP CASH COST
Cash cost excluding downtime in 2Q22 stood at R$854/t, decreasing 2% in relation to 1Q22, due to: i) the higher dilution of fixed costs due to operating efficiency gains; ii) the appreciation in BRL against USD (6%); iii) the better result from utilities due to maintenance downtimes in 1Q22 and the improved operation of one of the turbogenerators, that reached full capacity in the period, resulting in a higher volume of energy sales; and , Wood cost increased mainly due to the impact from the longer average supply radius in the quarter and the increase in Brent price, which affects both operations of harvest and transportation. The increase in input costs was mainly due to higher chemical prices (especially caustic soda due to higher international prices – IHS, and the Brent price’s impact on energy sources (mainly natural gas).

1Excludes the impact of maintenance and administrative downtimes.
Cash cost excluding downtime in 2Q22 was 26% higher than in 2Q21, due to: i) the higher input costs, explained by higher prices for chemicals (especially caustic soda due to higher international prices - IHS and chlorine dioxide prices) and for energy (mainly natural gas due to the rise in Brent); ii) the higher wood cost, mainly due to increase in diesel prices and price increases by suppliers, affecting harvest and transportation operations, which were partially offset by the shorter average supply radius and lower share of third-party wood in the period; and iii) higher fixed costs due to higher costs with labor and maintenance.

1Excludes non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA from pulp increased 23% in relation to 1Q22 due to: i) the higher net average pulp price (+13%); and ii) the higher sales volume (+12%). These effects were partially offset by the appreciation in average BRL against USD (6%), higher cash COGS (effect of inventory turnover); and the increase in SG&A expenses (mainly as a result of higher volume and higher logistics expenses, associated with the increase in Brent). The growth in adjusted EBITDA per ton of 10% is explained by the higher prices in the quarter.
Compared to 2Q21, the 2% increase in Adjusted EBITDA from pulp mainly reflects the increase in net average price in USD (+15%) and the higher sales volume (+5%). The growth in Adjusted EBITDA was largely offset by higher production costs (due to strong pressure from commodity price), the appreciation in average BRL against USD (7%) and higher SG&A expenses (mainly higher logistical expenses associated with Brent). Adjusted EBITDA per ton decreased 3%, due to the cost factor, the exchange variation effect and higher SG&A expenses, as explained above, which were partially offset by the higher prices.

Operating cash generation per ton in the pulp segment increased 16% compared to 1Q22, supported by the growth in adjusted EBITDA. Compared to 2Q21, the 7% decrease is due to higher maintenance capex and the lower adjusted EBITDA per ton.
PAPER BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
The following data and analyses incorporate the joint results of the consumer goods and paper businesses.
Page 8 of 37
PAPER SALES VOLUME AND REVENUE
According to data published by Brazil's Forestry Industry Association (IBÁ), demand for printing and writing in Brazil grew 4.6% in April and May 2022 compared to the same period last year. Based on estimates, the reduction is due not only to imports of Printing & Writing paper, which decreased 29% in April and May 2022 on the prior-year period, but also the significant reduction in Printing & Writing paper sales to the paperboard packaging industry.
It is estimated that demand for Printing & Writing, excluding such papers destined for the paperboard packaging market, expanded 7% in April and May 2022 (including imports) on the same period last year, driven by the more consistent recovery in on-site activities, such as the reopening of schools. For the rest of the year, the growth in domestic sales should continue, with period highlights including the elections.
Demand for paperboard in Brazil decreased 2.6% in April and May 2022 compared to the same period last year. The trend was already expected, since in the first half of 2021 paperboard demand grew above the historical average due to the restocking trend after the pandemic.
Consolidating both market segments (Suzano's accessible paper market), demand decreased 3.9%.
Suzano's paper sales (printing & writing, paperboard and tissue) in the domestic market amounted to 231 thousand tons in 2Q22, representing increases of 6% from 1Q22 and 11% from 2Q21.
Paper sales in international markets amounted to 93 thousand tons, in line with the prior quarter and 6% higher than in 2Q21 and corresponding to 29% of total sales volume in 2Q22.
1Includes the Consumer Goods Unit.
The net average price rose 10% from the previous quarter and 31% from 2Q21, reflecting the implementation of price increases in the domestic and export markets in all segments.
Net revenue from paper was R$2,012 million, advancing 15% from 1Q22 and 44% from 2Q21, in both comparisons due to the implementation of price increases in all segments and to the strong sales volume in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA from paper increased 25% from 1Q22, mainly due to the increase in net average price and growth in sales volume, which were partially offset by higher production cost and appreciation in average BRL against USD of 6%. Adjusted EBITDA per ton increased 21%, supported by the higher prices, which were partially offset mainly by the higher production cost.
Compared to 2Q21, the 58% increase was due to the price increases implemented in all product lines and the higher sales volume (+10%), despite the increase in costs resulting from the macroeconomic scenario and the appreciation in average BRL against USD (7%). Adjusted EBITDA per ton rose 44% due to the same factors explained above.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
NET REVENUE
Suzano’s net revenue in 2Q22 was R$11,520 million, 83% of which came from exports (vs. 81% in 1Q22 and 84% in 2Q21). Compared to 1Q22, the 18% growth in net revenue was due to higher sales volume (+11%) and the higher net average price, which were partially offset by the 6% appreciation in BRL versus USD. The 17% growth in consolidated net revenue compared to 2Q21 is mainly explained by the higher pulp net average price in USD (+15%) and the higher sales volume (+5%), which were partially offset by the 7% increase in average BRL vs. USD.

Cash COGS in 2Q22 amounted to R$4,498 million, or R$1,506/ton. Compared to 1Q22, cash COGS increased 13%, basically due to the higher sales volume and the effect from inventory turnover related to production cash cost and higher logistics costs (Brent price rise effect), which were partially offset by the lower impact of scheduled maintenance downtimes and by the 6% appreciation in average BRL against USD. COGS per ton increased 2% due to the effect from inventory turnover and higher logistics cost, which were partially offset by the the lower impact from maintenance downtimes and the effect from exchange variation.
Compared to 2Q21, cash COGS increased 35%, mainly due to the higher cash cost of production, the higher Brent price impacting logistics costs and the higher sales volume, which were partially offset by the appreciation in average BRL against USD (7%). In relation to the same period last year, cash COGS per ton increased 28% due to the factors mentioned above.

Compared to 1Q22, the 8% increase in cash general and administrative expenses is mainly due to higher expenses with third-party services. On a per-ton basis, these expenses decreased 2% due to the dilution of expenses resulting from sales volume growth.
Compared to 2Q21, cash general and administrative expenses increased 3%, mainly due to higher expenses with variable compensation, maintenance and corporate projects. On a per-ton basis, these expenses decreased 2% due to the dilution of expenses given the growth in sales volume.
Other operating income (expenses) amounted to income of R$162 million in 2Q22, compared to expenses of R$3 million in 1Q22 and income of R$910 million in 2Q21. The variation in relation to 1Q22 is mainly due to the updated fair value of biological assets (which happens in the second and fourth quarters of each year). Compared to 2Q21, the variation is mainly due to the lower result from updating the fair value of biological assets and the lack of any recognition of tax credits related to the right to exclude ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base, which occurred in 2Q21.

The 23% increase in Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q22 compared to 1Q22 is explained by: i) the increase in average net price of pulp in USD (+13%) and the higher paper price in BRL (+10%); and ii) the higher sales volume (+11%). Adjusted EBITDA was partially impacted by the appreciation in average BRL against USD (6%), the increase in cash COGS per ton and higher SG&A, as mentioned earlier. Adjusted EBITDA per ton increased 11% due to the price factor, which was partially offset by the exchange variation effect and the higher cash COGS and SG&A.
Compared to 2Q21, the 6% increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to the higher net average price of pulp in USD (+15%) and the higher paper price (+31%), as well as sales volume growth (+5%), which were partially offset mainly by the increase in cash COGS per ton, the appreciation in average BRL vs. USD (7%) and higher selling expenses. Adjusted EBITDA per ton remained stable mainly due to the price factor, which was offset by the exchange variation effect, higher cash COGS per ton and higher selling expenses as explained earlier.

3Includes commodity hedge and embedded derivatives.
Financial expenses were 8% higher than in 1Q22, mainly due to the increase in interest expenses in local currency, whose main index, the CDI, changed from a cumulative rate of 2.42% in 1Q22 to 2.91% in 2Q22, and the 19% increase in other financial expenses due to the variation in adjustment to present value under IFRS 16/CPC 06 (non-cash impact). These impacts were partially offset by the increase in capitalized interest arising from the capitalization of resources invested in the completed phases of the Cerrado Project. Compared to 2Q21, the 22% increase is also explained by the increase in the basic interest rate (from 0.80% to 2.91%) on debt in local currency, as well by the variation in adjustment to present value under IFRS 16/CPC 06 (non-cash), that impacted Other Financial Expenses.
Financial income grew 23% in relation to 1Q22, also due to the higher CDI in the period, reflecting the Company’s cash position invested in local currency. Compared to 2Q21, the significant increase is explained both by the higher CDI in the period and the increase in cash position (R$20.3 billion), which practically doubled from the end of 2Q21 (R$11.3 billion).
Inflation adjustment and exchange variation had a negative impact of R$4,460 million on the Company’s financial result due to the 11% depreciation in the end-of-period BRL against USD which impacted on the foreign-denominated portion of debt (US$11.8 billion by the end of 2Q22). This effect was partially offset by the positive result from local-currency depreciation on the foreign-denominated portion of the Company’s cash position (76% by the end of 2Q22, in line with debt dollarization policy). Note that the accounting impact from exchange variation on foreign-denominated liabilities and cash position has a cash impact only upon the respective maturities.
Page 15 of 37
Derivative operations resulted in a loss of R$1,576 million in 2Q22, mainly due to the effect of the weaker BRL on debt hedge and cash flow transactions, despite the positive impact from the variations in the Libor rate curve on swap operations and fixed, coupon and rate curves on all hedge transactions. The mark-to-market adjustment of derivative instruments on June 30, 2022 was negative R$2,018 million, compared to a positive adjustment of R$31 million on March 31, 2022, representing a negative variation of R$2,049 million. Note that the impact of BRL depreciation on the derivatives portfolio generates a cash impact only upon the respective maturities. The net effect on cash, which refers to the maturity of derivative operations in the second quarter, was a positive R$473 million (R$74 million gain from debt hedge and R$399 million gain from operating hedge).
As a result of the above factors, the net financial result in 2Q22, considering all financial expense and income lines, was an expense of R$6,975 million, compared to income of R$12,935 million in 1Q22 and income of R$9,743 million in 2Q21.

2Hedge program related to capex in BRL of the Cerrado Project.
3Considers the hedge of embedded derivative.
The Company’s foreign exchange exposure policy seeks to minimize the volatility of its cash generation and to ensure greater flexibility in cash flow management. Currently, the policy stipulates that surplus dollars may be partially hedged (at least 40% and up to 75% of exchange variation exposure over the next 18 months) using plain vanilla instruments such as Zero Cost Collars (ZCC) and Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDF). In 2Q22, coverage stood at 59% of currency exposure.
Considering the foreign exchange exposure related to Capex in the Cerrado Project, since approximately 67% of Capex is pegged to local currency, the Board of Directors approved on October 28, 2021, a program for contracting additional specifically hedge operations to protect from such exposure. The program approved is established in the Derivatives Management Policy available on the Investor Relations website, initially involving a maximum amount (notional) of up to US$1 billion and a term of operations of up to 36 months. On July 27, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the program, increasing the maximum amount (notional) to US$ 1.5 billion, maintaining the previously established term. In order to provide transparency on the Cerrado Project hedging program, since 4Q21 the Company has been disclosing the respective contracted operations in a prominent manner.
ZCC transactions establish minimum and maximum limits for the exchange rate that minimize adverse effects in the event of significant appreciation of the BRL. As such, if the exchange rate is within such limits, the Company neither pays nor receives any financial adjustments. This characteristic allows for capturing greater benefits from export revenue in a potential scenario of BRL appreciation versus USD within the range contracted. In cases of extreme BRL appreciation, the Company is protected by the minimum limits, which are considered appropriate for the operation. However, this protection instrument also limits, temporarily and partially, potential gains in scenarios of extreme BRL depreciation when exchange rates exceed the maximum limits contracted.
Page 16 of 37
On June 30, 2022, the outstanding notional value of operations involving forward USD sales through ZCCs related to Cash Flows (including those related to the Cerrado Project) was US$4,700 million, and the ZCC were dealt with an average forward rate ranging from R$5.60 to R$6.68 and maturities distributed between July 2022 and August 2024. In 2Q22, cash flow and Cerrado Project hedge operations resulted in a loss of R$1,092 million. The mark-to-market adjustment (“MtM” or “fair value”) of the hedge transactions was a gain of R$835 million.
The following table presents a sensitivity analysis of the cash impact that the Company could have on its cash flow hedge portfolios (ZCC) if the exchange rate remains the same as at the end of 2Q22 (R$/US$ = 5.24) in the coming quarters, as well as the projected cash impact for R$0.10 variations below/above the strike of put/call options, respectively, defined in each quarter.

1Note: sensitivity of adjustments for exchange rates above the strike.
To mitigate the effects of exchange and interest rate variations on its debt and its cash flows, the Company also uses currency and interest rate swaps. Swap contracts are entered into considering different interest rates and inflation indices in order to mitigate the mismatch between financial assets and liabilities.
On June 30, 2022, the Company had an outstanding amount (notional value) of US$5,898 million in swap contracts as shown in the table below. In 2Q22, the result of debt hedge transactions was a loss of R$549 million, mainly due to the depreciation in end-of-period BRL versus USD in the period. The mark-to-market adjustment (fair value) of these operations was a loss of R$2,829 million.

Part of forestry partnership agreements and standing timber supply agreements are denominated in USD per cubic meter of standing timber, adjusted by U.S. inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is not related to inflation in the economic environment where the forests are located and, hence, constitutes an embedded derivative. This instrument, presented in the table above, consists of a sale swap contract of the variations in the US-CPI during the period of the contracts. See note 4 of the 2Q22 Financial Statements for more details and for a sensitivity analysis of the fair value in case of a sharp rise in the US-CPI and USD. On June 30, 2022, the outstanding (notional) value of the operation was US$121 million. The result from this swap in 2Q22 was a gain of R$65 million. The mark-to-market (fair value) of such operations was negative R$24 million at the end of the quarter.
The Company is also exposed to the price of some commodities and, therefore, continually assesses the contracting of derivative financial instruments to mitigate such risks.
Page 18 of 37
On June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any outstanding commodity hedge transactions.
NET INCOME (LOSS)
In 2Q22, the Company posted net income of R$182 million, compared to net income of R$10,306 million in 1Q22 and R$10,037 million in 2Q21. The reduction in relation to 1Q22 and 2Q21 is explained by the negative financial result which in turn was caused by the negative effect from exchange variation on debt and the mark-to-market adjustment of derivative operations in the comparison period.

On June 30, 2022, gross debt totaled R$75.2 billion and was composed of 95% long-term maturities and 5% short-term maturities. Foreign currency debt corresponded to 82% of the Company's total debt at the end of the quarter. The percentage of gross debt denominated in foreign currency, considering the effect of debt hedge, was 96%. Gross debt increased 9% (R$6.4 billion) in relation to 1Q22, due to the depreciation in end-of-period BRL against USD.
Suzano contracts debt in foreign currency as a natural hedge, since net operating cash generation is mostly denominated in foreign currency (USD) due to its predominant status as an exporter. This structural exposure allows the Company to match loans and financing payments in USD with receivable flows from sales.
Page 19 of 37
*Corresponding mainly to transaction costs (issue, funding goodwill, discount and loss on business combinations, etc.).
On June 30, 2022, the total average cost of debt in USD was 4.5% p.a. (considering the debt in BRL adjusted by the market swap curve), compared to 4.4% p.a. on March 31, 2022. The average term of consolidated debt at the end of the quarter was 84 months, compared to 87 months at the end of March 2022.
1Considers the portion of debt with currency swaps. The original debt was 82% denominated in USD and 18% in BRL.
2Considers the portion of debt with currency swaps. The exposure of the original debt was: Fixed (US$) – 60%, Libor – 23%, CDI – 10%, Other (Fixed R$, IPCA, TJLP, others) – 7%.
Cash and cash equivalents and financial investments on June 30, 2022 amounted to R$20.3 billion, 76% of which was in foreign currency, allocated in remunerated accounts or in short-term fixed-income investments. The remaining 24% was invested in local currency fixed-income bonds (mainly CDBs, but also in government bonds and others), remunerated at the CDI rate.
On June 30, 2022, the Company also had two stand-by credit facilities totaling R$6.7 billion (US$1.3 billion in foreign currency) available through February 2024 (US$100 million) and February 2027 (US$1.2 billion). These facilities strengthen the company's liquidity position and can be withdrawn during times of uncertainty. As a result, the cash and equivalents of R$20.3 billion plus the stand-by credit facilities amounted to a readily available cash position of R$27.0 billion on June 30, 2022.

On June 30, 2022, net debt stood at R$54.9 billion (US$10.5 billion), compared to R$49.7 billion (US$10.5 billion) on March 31, 2022. The increase in net debt in local currency is explained by exchange variation in the period.
Financial leverage, measured as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA in BRL, stood at 2.3 times on June 30, 2022 (2.1 times in 1Q22). The same ratio in USD, the measure established in Suzano’s financial policy, fell to 2.3 times on June 30, 2022 (2.4 times in 1Q22).

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
In 2Q22, capital expenditures (cash basis) amounted to R$4,439 million, up 65% from 1Q22, mainly due to the higher disbursements related to the Parkia acquisition, as disclosed by the Company in the Material Fact of June 29, 2022. Compared to 2Q21, the increase is also due to the higher disbursements for the Parkia acquisition and the higher expenditures with modernization projects.
In July 27, 2022 the Capex estimate was revised to R$16.1 billion (from R$13.6 billion), due to: (i) the corporate acquisitions of Parkia (concluded) and Caravelas (in approval process), disclosed to the market through Material Fact notices dated April 28, 2022 and June 22, 2022, and Notice to the Market disclosed on June 29, 2022; and (ii) higher investments in sustaining capex, mainly related to the advances of payments to capture higher financial efficiency.

Operating cash generation, measured by adjusted EBITDA less sustaining capex (cash basis), amounted to R$5.1 billion in 2Q22. The 17% increase in operating cash generation per ton in relation to 1Q22 is due to the higher adjusted EBITDA per ton. The 3% decrease in relation to 2Q21 is due to the increase in maintenance capex, partially offset by the higher adjusted EBITDA in the period.

3Free cash flow prior to dividend payments and capex ex-maintenance (accrual basis).
Adjusted free cash flow stood at R$4,488 million in 2Q22, compared to R$2,947 million in 1Q22 and R$3,013 million in 2Q21. Compared to the prior quarter, free cash flow increased 52% supported by the growth in adjusted EBITDA, the lower concentration of interest payments and the gain from derivatives (vs. the loss in the previous quarter). These effects were partially offset in large part by the variation in working capital, mainly the negative variation in the line accounts receivable, due to the increase in pulp price and increase in sales volume, in contrast with the benefit observed in 1Q22 related to the increase in the volume of receivables discounting operations.
Compared to 2Q21, the 49% increase was mainly due to the gain from derivatives (vs. R$722 million loss in 2Q21), the higher adjusted EBITDA and positive variation in working capital.

ESG
The Company made important progress on multiple ESG fronts in the second quarter of the year. On the environmental front, in May, Suzano launched the Caring for Water program, in partnership with CDP. The program encourages suppliers to adopt better water management through monitoring and analysis of risks and opportunities. In this initial phase, Suzano selected 100 strategic suppliers, based on the socioenvironmental risk matrix. These partners will complete the CDP Water questionnaire, set targets and assess their progress after a three-year cycle.
In biodiversity, the Ecofuturo Institute, an organization founded and supported by Suzano, undertook to protect and manage 7,000 hectares of Atlantic Forest and more than 1,000 species of fauna and flora living in the area.
Through the social commitment of promoting partnerships that help reduce poverty aligned with forest conservation, Suzano established a partnership of R$1 million with the Brazilian Fund for Biodiversity (FUNBIO) to operate in the Amazon region. The partnership will develop a sustainable extractivism production chain with 12 local organizations.
In line with Suzano’s strategy to protect children, adolescents and women against domestic and family violence in the Cerrado Project region, the Company forged partnerships with state and federal governments to implement the Agents of Good program. The program currently supports over 3,000 own and third-party employees in the region through lectures, communication campaigns and training.
On the transparency and accountability front, which is essential for Suzano and for any sustainability journey, the Company launched its Annual Sustainability Report and Sustainability Center 2021. Together, they bring Suzano’s material aspects, as well as indicators and performance in accordance with frameworks such as GRI, TCFD, etc. Moreover, maintain the good practice started in 2021, on June 23, Suzano live streamed its second ESG Call, an multi-stakeholder event dedicated to deal comprehensively and in depth with relevant environmental, social and governance aspects about the Company and the interests of its related parties. This year, the event addressed the most recent advances in the ESG agenda, the improvements in governance and transparency, and promoted an open dialogue with Joel Makower, CEO and co-founder of Greenbiz Group, a company dedicated to the connection of business, technology and sustainability. In addition, the Company focused on three material topics: Climate Change, Social Development and Biodiversity Conservation.
