Wood availability

In an integrated production chain, wood used to produce pulp for manufacturing paper and packaging, or sold directly to the market, comes from planted forests of pine and eucalyptus, exotic species in Brazil. 

Klabin’s forests have one of the highest productivity rates in the world and are located in areas close to factories in the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo, which gives great competitiveness to operations. A global benchmark in responsible management, the company maintains 42% of its forests for the preservation and maintenance of biodiversity.

In addition to its own wood, the company invests in developing producers in the region through the Plant with Klabin program, which fosters income distribution by not concentrating all wood availability under the company’s ownership; development of businesses providing forestry and harvesting services; and economic diversification for the producer within a property.

Klabin enhances its supply planning processes with the concepts of S&OP (Sales and Operation Planning), S&OE (Sales and Operation Execution) and Control Tower (a concept that seeks to provide logistical intelligence and integration). These initiatives contribute to a more collaborative planning, with the most effective participation of all areas of forest involved. In addition to strategic focal points of the manufacturing units, thus increasing the predictability and accuracy of the plans in relation to financial and sustainability indicators, and also improving adherence to the budget with the company’s strategic guidelines.
