BIOECONOMY
We believe in the bioeconomy, which is an economy focused on using resources and new technologies to create more sustainable products and services. Therefore, we want to promote this system, aiming at the development and use of products with a lower environmental impact, which are part of the closed circuit of the production chain.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The Circular Economy is sustainable development. It is our way of thinking about the future, where everything that is extracted from nature is reintegrated into the ecosystem without generating liabilities.
PRODUCTS
As manufacturers of renewable, more sustainable products, we advocate for the replacement of fossil-based packaging with biodegradable and recyclable alternatives, made from pulp fibers and wood. Our products are developed in a customized and personalized way, meeting the needs of each customer, with high technology and complexity. Whether using virgin or recycled fibers in product composition, we promote the rational and maximized use of natural resources.
CONSUMPTION
Our renewable, recyclable and biodegradable materials offer customers the best and most sustainable options for conscious consumption with a lower impact. Klabin bioproducts are key to the development of a low-carbon circular economy, in which society's ever-changing demands are met while meeting the expectations of the most conscientious consumers.
NATURAL RESOURCES
100% of our fibers come from planted and sustainable forests. Our forestry management ensures the integrity of the ecosystem and the regeneration of renewable resources, in addition to protecting biodiversity and helping to fight global warming by sequestrating carbon from the atmosphere. We are a carbon positive company, that is, we capture more CO2 from the atmosphere than our operations emit.
DECOMPOSITION
At the end of their life cycle, the Klabin biologically-based products can be safely reintegrated into the ecosystem, without impacting the environment, restoring part of the energy, water and nutrients offered by soil in the pine and eucalyptus forest production.
PLANTED AREAS
Klabin averages 911 trees per minute.
PRESERVATION
We retain 41% of the forest area to preserve and maintain biodiversity.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
99.35% of the solid waste generated by the Company was reused or sent for recycling.
LESS WATER
86% of the municipalities where Klabin has industrial operations have initiatives aimed at ensuring water security in the region.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Since 2023, Klabin has surpassed the KODS goal, which foresees 92% participation of renewable sources in its energy matrix by 2030. In 2024, the company maintains the highest level of use of renewable fuels, reaching a rate of 93%.
ADAVANTAGES IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL
In 2024, the Company will expand the percentage of localities where the industrial operations are carried out with initiatives that contribute to the improvement of water security: 18 and 21 municipalities in which the industrial units will pass to count with the actions invested for the topic.
DOW JONES
For five consecutive years, Klabin has integrated the Global and Emerging Markets portfolios of the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices. In the last edition, the company obtained historic points, reaching 88 points on a scale of 100 and consolidating its leadership position among companies in the Containers and Packaging sector.
BIODIVERSITY
946 species of fauna and 1,971 species of flora were identified in the Company's monitoring activities, carried out in High Conservation Value Areas (AAVCs) in Paraná, in São Paulo and in Santa Catarina.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Klabin was one of the first Brazilian companies to set science-based decarbonization goals approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Nessa, the Company is committed to reducing the absolute emissions¹ of GEE from scopes 1 and 2 to 42% by 2030 and 42% by scope 3 by 2030.
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS IN OUR UNITS
Environmental preservation and biodiversity are part of the Klabin DNA. We constantly invest in scientific research, in the preservation of native forests, natural resources and wild fauna, as well as in the control of environmental impacts and in the sustainable growth of communities neighboring our sites.
Commitment to the preservation of natural resources
All of the Klabin operations consider the environmental management aspects part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their strategy, namely, water, energy, climate change and biodiversity. With this, we reinforce our commitment to preserve natural resources, seeking to reduce the use of non-renewable resources, environmental impact control and biodiversity preservation, by preserving fauna and flora in the forests where the company operates.
Energy management that prioritizes a renewable matrix
The Puma Unit produces more energy than it consumes. With that, the company can make the surplus available in the National Integrated System, contributing towards revenue generation, while also contributing towards a cleaner national energy matrix.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Reducing atmospheric emissions is one of the items in the Klabin Sustainability Policy and is also set forth in SDG 13. With the increased use of fuels from renewable sources, the company contributes to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG).
Climate change
Klabin follows the enforcement of the precautionary principle established at the Eco-92 Conference and constantly evaluates all aspects that pose a risk to the environment. Among the potential risks mapped are the average increase in temperature and rainfall rates; increase in extreme events such as windstorms and storms; reduction of frost and the appearance of new forest pests. In addition, we are the first Brazilian company to commit to targets to lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions based on science, in line with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). We were also the first company in the pulp and paper industry in Latin America to have our targets approved by the SBTi. In 2021, we created the framework for the Impacto NetZero movement, in partnership with the UN Global Compact Brazil Network, to engage companies and society in projects to reduce and neutralize carbon emissions by 2050.
Focus on rational use and reuse of water
We manage our water resources rationally, reusing water whenever possible and treating 100% of our effluents.
Waste Management
Waste management at Klabin may have four different destinations: recycling, Class 1 landfills, decontamination or use as fuel or incineration. All these measures are in line with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law 12.305/10), aimed at reducing the generation of this type of waste and the correct handling and disposal of materials.
OPERATING EFFICIENCY
Working with an integrated vision of its business, is part of the Klabin DNA, from the forest to production flow, always ensuring maximum operating efficiency. People, innovation and sustainability drive us to the performance we want. When these four pillars are in synergy like the blades of a weather vane, we have achieved the operating efficiency we wish for. Klabin is an integrated company, from forestry management, through the production of pulp and paper, to the manufacture of packaging paper and paper packaging that are present in the daily lives of people all over the world.
