Number of contractors by gender and region
At Suzano, we contract third-party employees mainly to support industrial and forestry operations, in activities related to maintenance, logistics, facilities, technology, and forestry implementation, among others. Suzano hires companies to provide services, which put their professionals to work to fulfill the contract. In other words, we don't hire labor, we hire services, which is why we don't define or discuss the type of relationship that suppliers should have with their employees.
The table below provides a breakdown of the number of contractors by gender and by region.

Informações complementares
The data includes contracted employees of companies providing services as permanent employees within Suzano's areas.
The construction of the indicator's information (numbers) takes into account the database we have on fixed contracted employees who are authorized to work in operations at all the company's units and also the location of these units by region. Regarding the increase or decrease in the number, whether in total or each unit/region, this is an oscillation that corresponds to the company's operational strategy throughout the year and varies from region to region.
