PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT SEC 4 84 WASTE MANAGEMENT FGV recognises effective waste management as more than just a corporate obligation. We see it as a crucial step in combating climate change and moving towards a circular economy. Improper waste disposal not only releases harmful greenhouse gases but also disrupts ecosystems, increasing global climate-related risks. Our commitment to responsible waste practices and circularity principles reflects our corporate responsibility in tackling climate action. This enables us to contribute to a sustainable business model. By prioritising proper waste disposal and embracing circularity, we actively support global initiatives aimed at building a climate-resilient future and aligning with international sustainability goals. Through reducing, reusing and recycling materials, we minimise our carbon footprint, promote resource efficiency and strive to safeguard natural ecosystems. Our goal is to achieve zero-waste operations across all subsidiaries, integrating circular waste management to mitigate the impacts of climate change and work towards a sustainable future for all. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT SDG target How we support the SDG By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimise their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. FGV through its subsidiaries is committed to adhering to and complying with local standards and regulations regarding the discharge or removal of waste and/or effluents from sites. By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution. By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. FGV’s subsidiaries have implemented 3R practices where any valuable and recyclable waste is sent for recycling. Moreover, agricultural waste coming from from mill byproducts are either re-utilised for land purposes or for boiler fuel. CONTRIBUTION TO THE UN SDGS PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
