We continue to expand our presence in new markets, this time in Austria and in a company that, like us, have innovation and sustainability in their DNA. Suzano has entered into a long-term partnership with B&C-Gruppe with the aim of acquiring a stake in Lenzing Group, the Vienna-listed leading global supplier of sustainable cellulosic fibers for the textile and non-wovens industry. Founded in Austria, the Lenzing Group today has nine production sites around the world. The company is highly admired for producing fibers made from wood and offering sustainable, renewable-sourced solutions to replace fossil-based products such as synthetic fabrics, addressing some of our planet’s most pressing problems. Its a great complement to Suzano’s operational excelence and sustainable pulp expertise. We believe that this partnership can create even more value for all our stakeholders. Under the transaction, which is subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities, Suzano will acquire a 15 percent stake in Lenzing from B&C, and the two shareholders will form a long-term syndicate that will hold the majority stake (52.25 percent) in the company, of which 37.25 percent held by B&C. Suzano still has the option to acquire an additional 15 percent stake in the company from B&C in the future. Joining forces and continually investing in businesses that are good for us and good for the world, this is the way that Suzano has found to boost the bioeconomy and plant the future. #WePlantTheFuture #textile #nonwovens

In a Material Fact published, Suzano informs that the operational start-up of the new pulp mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (the “Cerrado Project”), will take place in July 2024. The Cerrado Project boasts impressive numbers: a USD 4 billion investment, 180 MW of energy surplus, a 20% increment in Suzano’s total production, and 2.55 million tons of Bleached Hardwood Kraft Market Pulp. The scale of new pulp projects is jaw-dropping. If we consider the new schedule as a delay of 30 days (although this is not necessarily true), it would mean 212 thousand tons less of this grade of pulp in the market this year. To put this into perspective, that volume of pulp exceeds the annual production of 57 mills worldwide (52%). #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #packaging #packagingindustry #strategy #tissue #biochemical #biomaterial

Today there are 459 #FoodCompanies worldwide (over 778) with #approved #targets by the Science Based Targets initiative 🌿 🎯 Many of these targets are based on reducing #Scope3 #emissions. To achieve them, it is therefore necessary to work with #farmers. xFarm Technologies enables the realization of these projects globally. The ambition with Bunge goes in the direction of creating a more #integrated and #digital #supply_chain, to support the implementation of #sustainability improvement projects, from an #insetting perspective.

Brazil. I was invited to speak about Empowerment Evaluation by the Evaluation Unit of the Department of Advanced Studies of Brazil's National School of Public Administration. It was part of "Evaluation Week". I focused on the simplicity of empowerment evaluation - a worldwide self-evaluation approach with only 3 steps: 1) crystallizing the mission; 2) taking stock or assessing current performance; and 3) planning for the future to improve program performance. The central thread of the presentation was on community involvement and control of the evaluation with evaluators serving as critical friends and coaches rather than external experts. It was a great conference, filled with debates, reflections, and new ideas. The focus was on theory-based evaluation, collaborative evaluation, equity and diversity-focused evaluation, and institutionalization of evaluation in Brazil. Concrete examples were shared, highlighting successes and areas meriting attention in the future. It was a thoughtful, engaging, and often inspiring conference. Many thanks to Rafael Ferrari for coordinating much of the conference and Marcia Joppert for creating the network that made this a reality.

Like many businesses around the world, Suzano was founded as a result of an unmet need, a sense of opportunity and the courage of an entrepreneur. However, like only a few businesses around the world, our company celebrated 100 years and continues to grow, generating and sharing value with all our stakeholders. Several factors have contributed and continue to contribute to the success of our business. One of them, in particular, is worth highlighting for being decisive not only in helping us celebrate our centennial, but also in helping us envision a future of opportunities in the next 100 years: #innovability. We call “innovability” our ability to use innovation to achieve sustainability, thus renewing life inspired by trees, as we develop products and services to boost the bioeconomy and create a better future for people and the planet. Watch the video below to learn how “innovability” is part of our history, our present and our future. #WePlantTheFuture #Suzano100years

Suzano acquired today a 15% stake in the natural fiber textile producer Lenzing. An additional 15% might be bought at Suzano’s discretion and the deal. Lenzing is a company with a revenue of Euro 2.5 billion, established in Austria in 1892 with the commissioning of its first pulp and paper facility. It started investing in textiles (polyester filament plant) in 1983. The focus on chain integration (textile fibers) is in line with Suzano’s strategy. This is Suzano’s second investment in the textile fiber business, after Spinnova. #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #packaging #packagingindustry #financialresults #strategy #tissue #forestry #timberland #mergeandacquisition #textile #textileindustry #cotton
