Development and impact of investments in infrastructure and services offered
In its business model and operations, Suzano recognizes the strategic relevance of investments in local infrastructure, shared with stakeholders, to promote sustainable territorial development. In particular, investments aimed at maintaining roads and accesses that connect the company's forestry production activities with industries play a crucial role in facilitating the benefit of communities and other stakeholders who also use these routes.
Suzano understands that investing in infrastructure that directly benefits local communities, such as roads, schools, and association headquarters, not only improves the accessibility and connectivity of its activities but also strengthens its social and economic base.
By investing in, renovating and maintaining roads and other infrastructure, the company not only sustainably facilitates access to resources, but also boosts local economic development. Moreover, the improvement of roads increases access to essential services such as health care and education, helping to raise the quality of life in the communities where Suzano operates, and reinforcing its commitment to Generating and Sharing Value.
