 committed to a zero deforestation policy and adoption of best forest management practices, as defined by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Therefore, our eucalyptus plantations co-exist interleaved with areas destined for biodiversity conservation - the mosaic landscapes approach, favoring the connection of native fragments and the establishment of ecological corridor. Our forest management practices follow all the legislation, standards and commitments undertaken. Also, being certified by international widely recognized standards, the FSC and the PEFC, both auditable certification schemes.

We maintain and protect more than 1 million hectares of native vegetation, which corresponds approximately to 40% of our total area. To increase the protection and monitoring of biodiversity, we voluntarily identified areas considered global or nationally important for biodiversity conservation, defined as High Conservation Value Areas (HCVA) and Private Natural Heritage Reserves (IUCN Category IV).

The scope of the target to preserve biodiversity considered our representativeness extent and territorial influence, focusing on the priority areas for the biodiversity conservation in Brazil, going beyond our properties. We have committed to “connect half a million hectares of priority areas for the conservation of biodiversity in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savannah), Atlantic Forest and Amazon” by 2030, measuring yearly the connected fragments (in hectares) and other benefits.

Climate Change

With one of the largest forest bases in the world, we understand our role in fighting climate change and constantly seek to expand our environmental performance and engagement. Together, native forests and eucalyptus plantations contribute directly to removing and storing CO2 from the atmosphere. Therefore, we are committed to doing more than reducing direct and indirect emissions from our value chain. Our purpose is to remove significant additional amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, thus mitigating the effects of the global climate crisis.

Our starting point for measuring our actions is the Greenhouse Gas Inventory, a tool developed through internally established procedures and recognized methodologies (such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol) and verified by a third party, which annually accounts for Suzano's total emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) and removals.

Using the Greenhouse Gas Inventory tool, it is possible to assume and monitor the long-term goals below:

•Removing 40 million tons of CO₂ equivalent from 2020 to 2025; and

• Reducing the intensity of carbon emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by ton of product produced (tCO₂eq/t) by 15% by
