Suzano considers that supporting timber suppliers, including small-scale producers, significantly contributes to environmental conservation and social progress. To support this, we have established an extensive Forest Partnership Program.

The Program is divided into three categories; each tailored to landowners' interests and the company’s incentives. Based on the selected category, Suzano may offer support with eucalyptus seedling supply and transportation, agricultural inputs, technical assistance (Forest Stewardship), financial advances, and, from 2022 onward, forest insurance.

We highlight that Suzano collaborates exclusively with farmers who share the company's socio-environmental commitments, follow good labor practices, and support native forest preservation and reforestation. In doing so, the company boosts the local economy, promotes sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions, and sustains a highly productive forest, creating and sharing value.

All wood supply areas for Suzano, including those of suppliers, are monitored to ensure compliance with environmental, social, economic, and legal standards. We have implemented the Wood Procurement Policy, which aligns with the Brazilian Forest Code, FSC® Membership Policy criteria, and the standards of FSC®, PEFC, and SFI Forest Stewardship and Chain of Custody. It also complies with FSC® Controlled Wood, PEFC Controlled Sources, the SFI 2022 Fiber Sourcing Standard, the European Timber Regulation (EUTR), the United Kingdom Timber Regulation (UKTR), the Lacey Act (USA), the Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Act, and the core principles of the International Labor Organization (ILO).

Furthermore, Suzano is cognizant of the European Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) and is dedicated to adhering to it to the best of its knowledge and capabilities. We highlight that, even before this regulation and independently of it, the company already implemented specific practices such as no deforestation policies, due diligence procedures, and traceability systems.

In 2025, the Forest Partnership Program in Brazil, aimed at timber supply operations, supported around 1,202 small rural landowners. This initiative helped improve rural livelihoods and boosted small local businesses involved in the entire production chain, from planting seedlings to transporting timber. Suzano provides technical assistance to its partners, encouraging sustainable forest management and the implementation of good socio-environmental practices across the full production cycle.

Annually, we conduct internal and external audits—covering first-, second-, and third-party reviews—to verify compliance with the specified standards. These audits involve analyzing documentation that demonstrates adherence to relevant standards and legislation, along with on-site visits to evaluate field practices. This process helps ensure compliance with Brazilian law and forest certification standards.
