Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of their race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and others. In the case of Suzano and forestry companies, which occupy large tracts of land with eucalyptus or pine monoculture, the right of access to natural resources and land, especially of traditional communities or communities that live off the land, can be violated.
In addition, forced and/or compulsory labor and child labor can still be found on eucalyptus plantations in Brazil, particularly in those where eucalyptus is used for charcoal in the production of pig iron. By organizing work through subcontractors, companies can require them to confirm no fault regarding working conditions, as well as carry out audits and certify their chain to reduce risk.
