Additional information

In previous years, this indicator did not include the fostering base in São Paulo, the Três Lagoas region, and the Cerrado Project, as these were considered insignificant compared to Suzano's total base. However, it has been agreed that it is crucial to report the complete base, along with the monthly closings conducted by the company. Consequently, the figures for 2022 have been revised to incorporate the regions of São Paulo, the Três Lagoas Unit, and the Ribas do Rio Pardo Unit (formerly known as the Cerrado Project).
