- The data does not apply to some functional categories because there are no male or female employees in these categories.
- In 2020, Facepa was fully incorporated by Suzano, so its data began to be reported in a consolidated manner with the company's indicators rather than separately, as it had been previously.
- In 2021, the calculation memory was revised and foreign sub-areas were not included in its composition.
- In 2022, the previous reports were revised, consolidating the companies.
- In 2023, Kimberly-Clark's Tissue business in Brazil was acquired.
- In 2024, two Pactiv Evergreen plants were acquired in the United States.

- The relevant operational units are the industrial units (UNIs), the forestry units (UNFs), and the central office, which correspond to 95% of Suzano's workforce. The data does not apply to some units because there are no members of senior management at these locations.
- For the purposes of this indicator, local workforce refers to individuals who, at the time of hiring, are working in the same state where they were born. For senior management, this includes positions at the functional management level and above.
