Between January and December 2023, through the consumption of 3,150.772 MWh of incentivized renewable energy, SULPLAST contributed to reduce by 119.17 tons, the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitted into the atmosphere. This is equivalent to a reforestation project of 834 trees planted over 30 years.

This notable achievement earned the company the Renewable Energy Certificate, granted by the partnership between SINERCONSULT and COMERC ENERGIA.

The method for data collecting and conclusions, follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, from The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative, a set of parameters used internationally since 2001, by private companies, NGO’s and government entities, to measure the emission of greenhouse gases.

Since establishing a program for obtaining incentivized renewable energy in 2018, SULPLAST has continually reinforced its commitment to sustainable development and aligned with ISO 14.001 guidelines.

During the CNH Industrial Suppliers Forum, Sulplast was awarded the Positivity Highlight Prize for its partnership and performance in the Super Program, an initiative aimed at cost optimization through innovation and continuous improvement.

The event featured leaders from CNH Industrial LATAM who addressed market challenges and opportunities related to enhancing quality standards and competitiveness. Additionally, there was a focus on advancing ESG culture throughout the supply chain.

The Sulplast team is deeply grateful for this recognition, which demonstrates the company's ability to deliver sustainable solutions to its customers through technology and process enhancement.

By deploying a fleet of 100% electric forklifts, Sulplast has reduced its CO₂ emissions from internal logistics operations by approximately 55%.

Moreover, besides reducing pollutant emissions, Pedro Luiz Biancardi, the company’s CEO, highlights that this initiative also enhances operational efficiency and improves the quality of the working environment: "The lithium battery-powered forklifts that we use have a range of approximately 10 hours and can be fully charged in about 2 hours. Furthermore, unlike combustion engines, they operate silently and do not emit odorous gases. This undoubtedly makes the day-to-day work of operators much more pleasant, productive, and sustainable."

This initiative, combined with the adoption of renewable energy sources and other socio-environmental programs, is part of a comprehensive project undertaken by Sulplast. The aim is to gradually decarbonize operations and achieve net-zero emissions.

On World Water Day (22/03), Sulplast organized the lecture "Caring for Water, Everyone's Responsibility" for its collaborators. The presentation will be conducted by Gabriela Marino Silva, Social Relations Analyst, and Thales Porto Lima, Laboratory Leader, both from the Autonomous Department of Water and Sewage (DAAE) of Rio Claro.

The event aims to reflect on water preservation and the fundamental role each individual plays in this process. Among the topics covered are the water cycle and its interactions with human activities, as well as the processes of water capture, treatment, and distribution in Rio Claro’s city.

According to Gabriela Marino Silva, private sector involvement in the subjects raised is crucial: "The issue of water scarcity requires the commitment of entire society: companies, individuals, and governments. Awareness and environmental education initiatives like this are commendable. It is through them that we can rethink our habits."

Cinthia Prado, Quality and Environment Coordinator at Sulplast, highlights the importance of the initiative in strengthening the company's environmental culture: "Water is an essential resource for maintaining life. It is important that our collaborators understand its importance and engage in practices that promote preservation and sustainable use."
