Number of contractors by gender and region
At Suzano, we primarily hire contracted employees to support our industrial and forestry operations. These roles cover activities such as maintenance, logistics, facilities management, technology, and forestry implementation, among others. Our approach involves hiring service providers, which, in turn, assign their professionals to perform the contracted tasks. In other words, Suzano does not hire labor directly but contracts services. As a result, the company does not define or intervene in the type of employment relationship that suppliers maintain with their employees.
The tables below present the breakdown of the number of employees and contracted employees by gender and region.

Informações complementares
The data includes employees and contracted employees from service providers that operate permanently within Suzano’s areas.
The construction of this information (numbers) is based on the database of employees and fixed contracted employees authorized to work across all company units, considering the geographic location of these units by region.
The increase or decrease in numbers from year to year, whether in total or per unit/region, reflects operational strategy adjustments throughout the year, varying across regions. However, there are no significant changes in the number of fixed employees or major variations within each year.
