Innovation management

Klabin’s innovation strategy plays an essential role in achieving its Aspiration, focusing on three central pillars: 

• People & Sustainability, promoting the well-being of people and the planet; 
• Operational Excellence, aimed at generating value for investors, employees and partners; 
• New Solutions, focused on responsible, renewable, biodegradable and multi-use alternatives that positively influence consumer choices. 

Innovation governance is led by the Corporate Innovation Committee, composed of directors responsible for deciding on high-priority projects. In addition, specific committees in each business unit define actions aligned with their circumstances and challenges. 

Research, development and innovation initiatives are supported by different collaboration mechanisms, such as pitch days to attract startups, open challenges, partnerships with universities and research centers, intrapreneurship programs and projects co-created with clients and suppliers. 

It is worth noting that the performance-based pay of managers and directors is linked to the performance of innovation management indicators.
