Additional information
Suzano's main direct emissions (scope 1) are related to the consumption of fossil fuels in the stationary equipment of the industrial units, as well as fuels used in vehicles at the forestry units. In 2021, the absolute value of stationary category (which represents 78.85% of scope 1), followed the increase in production with an increase of 8.0% in emissions against 7.6% in production.
In the mobile category (which represents 17.67% of scope 1), we had an increase in emissions as there was an improvement in the systematization of data collection and an increase in all forestry business units as a result of the transfer of operational control of some representative activities, such as wood transportation. The agricultural category (which represents 4.20% of scope 1), waste (which represents 1.38%) and fugitive (which represents 0.68%) had increased emissions due to increased activity in forestry operations. The negative emissions from industrial processes are related to emissions recovered in the PCC plants (Calcium Carbonate Precipitation), which contributed to the reduction of emissions of the scope discussed here, since, in industrial processes, there is the consumption of CO₂ in the precipitation of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃).
Effluent emissions were not reported in 2020 and 2021 given the low source representativeness in total emissions.
To compare the base year and methodological alignment with Suzano's Commitments to Renewing Life, we used GWP indices from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The data were also calculated with metrics from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and can be made available upon request.
All reported numbers have been verified by an independent third party.
