According to Brazilian Law No. 12,846/2013, lobbying is not a permitted activity in Brazil. Therefore, Klabin's relationship with stakeholders, including sector associations, is guided by a collaborative approach with limited support and without direct political objectives, following compliance with legislation and the boundaries set forth in its Code of Conduct, Anti-Corruption Manual, and Sustainability Policy, which covers all of its jurisdictions and operations.

For instance, Klabin actively promotes sustainability issues, such as climate change, which have become central themes in Brazilian trade associations such as the IBA (Brazilian Tree Industry), which the company regularly monitors. Additionally, the company plays a leadership role in driving the Impact Net Zero initiative. Although the initiative is not provided by a trade association - instead, by UNGC, it is a solid public commitment led by Klabin in the national context to support the Paris Agreement pledges.
