Commitment to sustainable development

The Klabin 2030 Agenda, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, reflects fundamental aspects of the Company's operations and aspirations.

The Klabin Sustainable Development Goals, known as KODS, which comprise this agenda, are a set of short-term (2021), medium-term (2025), and long-term (2030) targets, established to address the sustainability priorities of the Company and stakeholders that impact and/or are impacted by its business.

Materiality

Klabin's materiality process was conducted in 2019, with subsequent review and analysis of each identified requirement.

The adherence table of KODS with the global 2030 agenda, based on the monitored impact indicators, contains the specific indicators of the Klabin Agenda 2030 goals as well as other relevant and that underpin the management of each theme.

Pillars of the Klabin 2030 Agenda encompass 23 material topics

Adherence to the European Union Taxonomy

Evolution of the Klabin 2030 Agenda

Advancements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the percentage of renewable fuel in Klabin's energy matrix, increasing recycling and reuse of solid waste, reducing water consumption, increasing the number of critical suppliers covered by the Sustainable Supply Chain Management Program, inclusion of municipalities with participatory management, and more women in leadership roles are examples of the company's evolution towards achieving public targets that it committed to reaching by 2030 through the KODS.

The challenge is to maintain the performance of these and other indicators, considering the aspects involved in a growth trajectory like Klabin's. Also highly relevant is the management of indicators related to occupational health and safety, requiring dedicated and continuous effort for the constant improvement of these indices.
