CSR [corporate social responsibility]

Our concern for the community where we carry out our work is crucial, which is why we have implemented a corporate social responsibility plan that supports and sponsors educational, sports, social events as well as health programs.

Environment

Involved with the problem of the environment, we aim mainly to recover areas of low productivity.

We became the first dryer in the region to use biofuels to dry the raw material, modifying the boilers that consumed native firewood as fuel to replace with pine chips and/or renewable eucalyptus, thus contributing to the reduction of deforestation that occurs in the world.

We strive and enact the protection of water resources, the ecosystem and wildlife. We protect soil fertility by avoiding erosion through soil management and preservation policies.

We keep ecological corridors that connect forests, allowing the movement of fauna and the development of native plants.
