Greenhouse Gas Emissions Discussion of the long- and short-term strategy or plan for managing scope 1 emissions, emission reduction targets, and an analysis of performance with respect to those targets n/a  

The 1.4% reduction in scope 1 emissions was mainly due to the reduction in fuel oil consumption in the lime kilns at the Puma and Correia Pinto units. This result is mainly due to the start-up of the Puma II Project's biomass gasification plant and the use of bio-oil in the lime kilns at Correia Pinto.

 

The 6.9% reduction in scope 1 emissions was mainly due to the reduction in fuel oil consumption at the pulp and paper units, due to the full operation of the biomass gasification plant at the Puma unit, and the reduction in natural gas consumption at the recycled products units. In addition, in 2023, tests began for the use of bio-oil in the lime kilns at the Monte Alegre unit. Over the year, 3 tests were carried out on an industrial scale, achieving 100% substitution of the use of fuel oil during the operation of the equipment.

Water Management Description of water management risks and discussion of strategies and practices to mitigate such risks n/a Water use – Figures and considerations: water withdrawn, discarded, consumed and reused

Since 2018, Klabin has evaluated all its units located in water stress areas using the WRI Aqueduct tool. To be considered exposed to water stress, facilities need to be classified on the baseline criterion of greater than 20% water stress, for both the current and future scenarios (2030 and 2040). In 2021, after acquiring five new units, Klabin now has 7 out of 23 units located in water stress areas, according to the WRI Aqueduct tool. To control and monitor the risks related to these units, Klabin prepared a report to monitor the flow of rivers and the volume of rain in the regions where the factories are located, to anticipate possible water shortages as well as seek alternatives. This report is monitored by the Water Management Working Group, which, in addition to supporting the strategic management of this resource, contributes to the definition of necessary actions to avoid impacts in these regions. In 2022, the improvement in water management, resulting from the actions carried out, resulted in a 19% reduction in water consumption (water withdrawn - water discarded) at the units located in areas of water stress.

 

Since 2018, Klabin has been evaluating all its units located in water-stressed areas using the WRI Aqueduct tool. To be considered exposed to water stress, facilities need to be classified under the baseline criterion of water stress exceeding 20%, for both the current and future scenarios (2030 and 2040).

Discussion of strategies to reduce the environmental impact of packaging throughout its lifecycle n/a Customers and products – Product life cycle and recovery

Reducing the environmental impact of packaging throughout its lifecycle​

In addition to new investments in reducing emissions, a more renewable energy matrix, as observed in 2022, reflects in a smaller amount of CO2eq emitted per ton of product, which in 2022 was 148 kg of CO2eq, resulting in an accumulated reduction of 68% since initial measurement, reported in 2004.
 
As manufacturers of renewable-based products, Klabin advocates replacing fossil-based packaging with biodegradable alternatives, based on wood cellulose fibers. Its products are developed in a customized way to the needs of customers, with high technology and complexity from the combination of virgin and recycled fibers, promoting the rational and maximized use of natural resources. The adoption of renewable, recyclable and biodegradable materials offers consumers the best and most sustainable options for lower-impact consumption. Klabin's bioproducts are key elements for the development of a low-carbon circular economy, in which society's constantly changing demands are met in line with planetary challenges and limits.
