Containers and PackagingIn 2022, Suzano's energy matrix presented improvements in terms of renewability, reaching 88.14% of its composition deriving from renewable sources, consistent with the goals of reducing the use of non-renewable resources by the organization.
The percentage of grid electricity consumed has increased to 1.65% of the matrix as a result of an increase in production at non-power-generating plants. Still, it is worth noting that energy exports from Suzano's exporting plants have the capacity to supply all energy consumed from the Grid by the importing units, while there is still a surplus.
Suzano displayed a lower energy intensity within the organization compared to values obtained between 2019-2021. These results are driven by several projects within the units that focus on process improvement and energy efficiency, thereby optimizing resource use.

1. The denominator used is the sum of tons of pulp, finished products, and tissue rolls produced by Suzano’s factories, which for strategic reasons cannot be disclosed.
2. The intensity rate includes all fuels used in the process, both renewable and non-renewable, and the electric energy consumed from the GRID
