We have secured funding through sustainability linked financing, including Green Bonds (securities linked to the use of proceeds for projects with environmental additionality), Sustainability Linked Bonds (“ SLBs”), and Sustainability Linked Loans (“ SLLs”) (bonds and loans linked to sustainability performance targets). As the first company in the Americas and the second globally to issue an SLB, in 2020, Suzano has remained focused on the sustainable finance agenda. In 2025, we will continue to focus on new opportunities and innovation, in line with our public sustainability commitments. As of the end of 2024, 46% of our debt was composed of sustainable financial instruments.

In 2024, we debuted in a new market by becoming the first non-governmental and non-financial company in the Americas to issue in the Chinese market, in the so-called Panda Bonds, with a green classification. These funds will be entirely allocated to certified eucalyptus planting in Brazil. This initiative reaffirms our focus on diversifying funding sources, seeking more competitive alternatives, accessing new investors in the second most liquid capital market in the world.

We also maintain our policy of incorporating sustainability criteria into our investment analysis, considering our set of 15 sustainability goals along with the financial parameters, as well as the internal carbon price and the shadow carbon price.
