Embrasa earned three important recognitions in the Mosaic & Instituto Ethos Value Chain Sustainability Program, consolidating its commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices. The company received 1st place in the Best ESG category, as well as awards in the Social and Environmental categories under ESG Evolution.
The awards, presented by Mosaic in partnership with Instituto Ethos, recognize suppliers that demonstrated significant advances in sustainability throughout 2025. Embrasa’s achievements reflect the organization’s continuous commitment to integrating environmental, social and governance criteria into its strategic management, strengthening its role as an agent of positive transformation in the sector.
A Program That Transforms Value Chains
The Value Chain Sustainability Program represents a pioneering initiative in the Brazilian market, promoting the development of sustainable practices among suppliers and business partners. Since 2021, Mosaic has worked with Instituto Ethos to raise the level of sustainability maturity across its supply chain, expanding from 6 participants in the first cycle to 76 companies in 2025, which implemented more than 2,000 actions across the social, environmental and governance dimensions.
The program’s methodology uses the Ethos Indicators as a basis for diagnosis and development, offering participating companies a complete cycle of training sessions, workshops and specialized mentoring. The result is impressive: 75% of participating companies advanced from the initial stage to the first maturity level in sustainability management over the four years of the program.
Impact That Goes Beyond Business
The Mosaic and Instituto Ethos initiative responds to a growing global trend: sustainable supply chains have moved from being competitive differentiators to becoming essential market requirements. With increasingly strict international legislation on due diligence in ESG criteria, programs like this prepare Brazilian companies for the challenges of the future, strengthening their competitiveness and resilience.
As highlighted by Ana Lucia, deputy director of Instituto Ethos, during the awards event, sustainability — which once struggled to make it onto the corporate agenda — is now part of everyday business. The partnership between Mosaic and Instituto Ethos has been fundamental in awakening and consolidating practices that positively impact entire territories and contribute to sustainable development.
Perspectives for the Future
Embrasa’s achievements in the Mosaic & Instituto Ethos Value Chain Sustainability Program represent more than individual recognitions. They are concrete demonstrations that it is possible to reconcile economic growth with social and environmental responsibility, creating shared value for all stakeholders.
By engaging suppliers in a robust sustainability agenda, Mosaic and Instituto Ethos are building a more ethical, resilient and future-ready business ecosystem. Initiatives like this inspire other companies to follow the same path, multiplying positive impacts and contributing to a fairer and more sustainable economy.
The awards received by Embrasa reinforce that investing in sustainability is not merely a compliance matter, but a smart business strategy that generates long-term value, strengthens reputation and positions companies as leaders in their sectors.
