“Suzano is proud to celebrate a year of excellent performance in 2021. We believe that successful companies are those which can find convergence between efficiency, sustainability and transformation,” said Walter Schalka, CEO of Suzano.
He added, “We know that our planted trees and the preservation of native forests can both be part of the solution to the climate crisis. We also want to support the growing trend for biobased materials to replace non-renewable resources. To this end, we will develop and bring to market new products that are sustainable by design, at the same time as offering high levels of performance and competitiveness.”
The 2021 Annual Report is prepared in accordance with international best practice integrated sustainability reporting standards, including GRI, SASB and TCFD.
