Diversity at Klabin

Inclusion and the creation of welcoming environments for individuals from marginalized groups (women, LGBTI+, people with disabilities, black people, and multigenerational individuals) are as important as hiring them. Therefore, in 2023, diversity management focused on intentionality, with an emphasis on training leaders to continue this journey.

The Company included specific Diversity modules in the leadership development programs, training nearly 500 professionals. As an organization associated with the Movement of Companies for Racial Equity (Mover), the Forum of Companies and LGBTI+ Rights, and the Women's Forestry Network (for gender equity), Klabin has also contributed to advancing these issues by sharing diversity strategies with other companies and supporting inclusion and awareness actions.

Two of the main indicators related to the topic showed improvement in 2023: women in leadership (from 23.4% in 2022 to 25%) and black employees in the workforce (from 35.4% in 2022 to 39.9%). According to the latest IBGE census, black individuals represent 56.1% of the Brazilian population.

Diversity governance

The Diversity and Employability Promotion Policy outlines the Company's commitment to offering equal opportunities for all in an inclusive work environment. The topic is also recurrent on the executive management agenda. In 2023, Klabin promoted the revision of its diversity governance strategy, having developed, based on the diagnosis made by an external institution and a comparative analysis of the market, a maturity matrix on the subject, where it is positioned between the second and third level, on a scale of four levels. In 2024, the new diversity governance structure comes into effect, which will guide the Company's actions on the subject in the coming years.
