Fostering diversity strengthens us. This is one of Suzano's organizational culture pillars. As we strive to continually improve on our Commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion, it is essential that we have data and evidence that demonstrate our current performance, keeping in mind different social clippings, such as those related to generation, race, gender, etc. This enables us to have a reliable picture of reality as well as to propose and carry out measures capable of tackling our main gaps. Accordingly, we offer programs held on a corporate level, along with initiatives targeted to this diverse group - all of which are geared toward the development of these professionals.
