It should be noted that one year after the deadline for meeting the triggers set for 2025 and the subsequent reassessment of the interest rate, the Company successfully achieved or surpassed the goals agreed upon with the market during the bond issuance.
The early achievement of objectives, however, does not mean the end of efforts towards the goals. The Company's ongoing challenge persists over time, encompassing the execution of its growth plan and its commitment to sustaining profitability.

Sustainability Performance Triggers (2025)

• Water: rreduction to a value equal to or below 3.68 m³ per ton of production (16.7% reduction compared to 2018). 2023 result: reduction to 3.10 m³/ton.
• Waste: a minimum of 97.5% reuse/recycling of solid waste. 2023 result: 99.3% reused.
•  Biodiversity:promote the reintroduction or population reinforcement of at least two species native to the ecosystem. 2023 result: 1 species reintroduced.

• Creation of a Water Management Working Group, an internal forum made up of members from all of Klabin's businesses and responsible for governance, planning and implementation of actions to reduce/reuse water and reuse effluents, especially in areas of water stress. The efforts of this group enable the leveraging of small-scale initiatives to decrease water withdrawal in the Company's operations and monitor their implementation effectively.
• Engagement in river basin committees in the regions of significant consumption (Paraná and Santa Catarina), with active participation in water resource plans, including discussions on shared use and mechanisms for charging for water use. Participation in the Intermunicipal Consortium of the Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí (PCJ) River Basins, composed of local governments and companies, which aims to recover the water sources in its area of coverage (in the state of São Paulo). Participation in the committee and consortium helps promote interaction with other companies, through benchmarking, and the search for new solutions for industrial operations with the aim of reducing water consumption.

• Execution of actions related to increasing water reuse and improving processes for water efficiency in all of Klabin’s plants, prioritizing initiatives at sites located in areas of water stress and in plants with high water use.
• Continuing to hold bimonthly meetings with the Water Reduction Working Group for advances in managing the resource, in addition to critical analyses to monitor the indicator and define actions to improve results in the industrial units.
• Development of the Klabin Water Resources Management Plan, with the participation of the sectors involved and internal (forestry and industrial units) and external (supply chain, community and public management) coverage.

• Maintenance of water consumption optimization, considering the production increases expected with the Company’s expansion in the next few years

• Goal of territories with initiatives to increase territorial water security.  
• Goal of forest operations under own management with hydrosolidarity management. 

• Otacílio Costa Unit (Santa Catarina): 0.55% increase in reuse due to non-recyclable waste being sent for co-processing. Destination of construction waste for reuse processes. Educational activities have contributed to the progress of waste sorting with a focus on recycling materials.
• Correia Pinto Unit (Santa Catarina): progress in reusing part of the waste (0.8%) and progress in studies on the destination of dregs for co-processing and agricultural use. Destination of construction waste for reuse.
• Monte Alegre (Paraná), Puma (Paraná) and Rio Negro (Paraná) units: use of dreg waste (Monte Alegre and Puma) and sludge (Rio Negro) to produce ceramics.
• Rio Verde Unit (GO): since February 2023, the plant has been reusing, recycling and/or co-processing 100% of its industrial solid waste.
• Lages Unit (Santa Catarina): disposal of sludge waste for composting and Class I waste for co-processing. This action raised the percentage of reuse to 86.37% in 2023.
• Conducting critical analyses to track the indicator and establishing actions to improve results in the industrial units.

• Puma Unit (PR): maintenance of the waste co-processing initiative and a pilot for an alternative disposal action, which seeks to produce agricultural input from a mixture of dregs, grits, and lime mud (industrial process residues).
• Monte Alegre (Paraná) and Puma (Paraná) units: commissioning of the biological sludge (Monte Alegre and Puma) and tertiary sludge (Puma) drying system for energy use.
• Goiana Unit (Pernambuco): test phase of the incorporation of the sludge generated in the Effluent Treatment Plant in the production of ecological bricks by the region’s ceramic industry.
• Betim Unit (Minas Gerais): study for the reuse of biological sludge in ceramics in the region.
• Goiana Recicles (Pernambuco), Paulínia (São Paulo) and Piracicaba (São Paulo) units: evaluation of alternatives for disposing of the scrubbing of residual waste (dirt from post-consumer cardboard that cannot be used, such as adhesive tape and staples).
• Correia Pinto Unit (Santa Catarina): development of partnerships with companies for blending Class I non-recyclable waste to enable its co-processing, as well as the conclusion of studies for agricultural use of dregs.

• Reuse of waste from purifying residual waste in recycling plants: evaluations of the use of this material in reuse/repurposing processes. In 2023, this waste represented approximately 27% of the total volume of unused materials.
• Maintenance and ongoing development of new business models that enable the absorption of the products generated by the waste reuse initiatives.

• Goals of zero industrial waste going to landfill. 
• Goal of ten circular economy benchmarking cases in partnership with clients.   
• Goal of having 100% of priority municipalities with participatory management encouraged.  

• Receipt of the two batches of black-fronted piping-guan, totaling 30 animals; introduction of the animals to the release site; release of the animals and the first stages of monitoring and follow-up.
• Construction of new quarantine and rehabilitation and release enclosures, necropsy room, and updating of veterinary equipment for receiving vinaceous-breasted amazon. The Klabin Ecological Park is fully prepared to receive the animals, and we await the allocation of the animals by the responsible environmental agencies to commence the work.
• Participation in the National Action Plans for the Conservation of Endangered Species (PANS) on birds of the Atlantic Forest, psittaciformes (ended December 2023).

Related to the jacutinga black-fronted piping-guan:

• Inclusion of the species in the Monitoring Program to track its expansion in the forest.
• Analysis and negotiations to obtain new batches of animals to continue the project, reinforcing the population of the reintroduced species when necessary.

Actions related to the vinaceous-breasted amazonspecies:

• Release of the three individuals suitable for population reinforcement in the region.

• Evaluating the success of the reintroduction of the black-fronted piping-guan, receiving new individuals of the vinaceous-breasted amazon, as well as their rehabilitation or release, which can vary according to the response of the ecosystem and includes factors such as the animals' failure to adapt and the risk of being killed by hunting or being run over. The results will be analyzed by monitoring area use by the species and further analysis of this data.

Other goals regarding the Biodiversity topic:

• Donate 1 million seedlings of native trees for the recovery of areas.

• 100% of wildlife roadkill points with initiatives to reduce accidents.

• Maintain or increase the number of bird species dependent on high-quality forests; and establish six partnerships or research collaborations annually in the fields of nature conservation and biodiversity studies.
