Global Sustainability
Positioning

Performance consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is only possible in partnership with the civil society, non-governmental organizations, suppliers, customers, government and others.

It is with this vision that we launched, in 2017, the Global Sustainability Positioning. The objective is to provide clarity and transparency of our sustainability strategy to all stakeholders.

We also want to deepen the synergy of our operations around the world, keeping them aligned with the Company`s Mission, Vision and Values, as well as with the organization’s business plan.

Our positioning is based on the following principles:
