Additional information
Regarding fires occurrence, when compared with 2021, there was an increase fire outbreaks, but there was a reduction in the area affected. The correlation between the number of outbreaks and the area affected shows an increase in effectiveness of the detection and firefighting process, resulting in a smaller area affected.
Overall, Suzano performs a unique role in dealing with forest fires and environmental conservation. We have teams trained and prepared to act in a preventive and reactive manner. We committed in 2020 to define goals to reduce the area burned by the responsible teams. In 2021 this was implemented and there was an investment in technology and innovation for the firefighting structures and monitoring center systems. Besides this, extra surveillance and firefighting teams began to work in the periods of greatest criticality, fire breaks, and roads were maintained, the Floresta Viva Program was promoted, which consists of an awareness campaign for the population living near the forests, with the handing out of gifts, and an increase in preventive monitoring.
