Development and impact of investments in infrastructure and services offered
Socio-environmental investments serve as strategic tools to create value for both the business and local communities, while also encouraging stakeholder engagement. These investments encompass projects, programs, donations, sponsorships, and collaborations. Their primary aim is to promote the development of regions where Suzano operates, focusing on environmental conservation, social inclusion, and enhanced quality of life. This approach strengthens the company's sustainability and aligns with our purpose, Culture Drivers, and Commitments to Renew Life (CPRVs).
Suzano's business model and operations recognize the strategic importance of investing in local infrastructure, in collaboration with stakeholders, to support sustainable territorial development. Specifically, investments in maintaining roads and access routes linking the company's forestry activities to industries are vital to benefiting communities and other users of these routes.
Suzano recognizes that investing in infrastructure that directly benefits local communities—such as roads, schools, and association headquarters- not only enhances accessibility and connectivity for its activities but also reinforces its social and economic foundation.
By investing in, renovating, and maintaining roads and infrastructure, the company enhances sustainable access to resources and supports local economic growth. Better roads also improve access to essential services like healthcare and education, elevating living standards in communities where Suzano operates and reaffirming its dedication to Generating and Sharing Value.

- The 2025 figures solely reflect investments in road improvements aimed at delivering direct benefits to local communities, strengthening relationships, and fostering positive social impacts. The notable decrease in 2025 results compared to 2023 and 2024 stems from a methodological update: previous years included investments in road improvements that, while providing some community benefit, were not primarily motivated by social objectives. For 2025, only costs explicitly intended for community benefit are included.
- In 2022, investments to improve the road network infrastructure that benefits the communities were included in this indicator. This data is obtained from the Logistics area.
