Our sustainability strategy permeates the five priorities for generating value: Agricultural Productivity & Efficiency, Mobility, Second Generation Ethanol (E2G), New Renewable Products and Power, with a commitment to management and execution as a long-term responsibility.

This agenda also has robust governance, which is essential to guide our operations in a transparent and responsible manner.

This is the process where we listen to our stakeholders and analyze documents (both internal and external) to identify the most relevant Sustainability topics for Raízen. At this stage, we engage an external consultancy firm to dive deep into documents, reports, studies and strategies apposite to our sector.  In accordance with the double materiality concept, we accordingly identify both the impacts of our business on the economy, society and the environment and the impacts of externalities on our results and performance.

Based on material topics, since the 2018/2019 harvest we have developed and kept our Strategic Sustainability Plan updated, which contains long-term goals and actions with direct involvement of our VP and CEO. This endeavor has significantly enhanced the maturity of our Raízen ESG Agenda management and governance. For each of the topics, we have set ambitions and objectives to be achieved by structured actions and conducted by technical working groups, which report indicators and progress to the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.
