ESG Commitment:
Responsibility Translated into Action
We understand that sustainability is not an optional choice, but an essential commitment for the present and future of business, people and the planet.
That is why we adopt an active and transparent stance in our ESG agenda, integrating environmental, social and governance criteria into the company’s strategy and day-to-day operations.
ESG Commitment
Concern for environmental, social and good governance practices has always been part of our focus. In recent years, this commitment has grown stronger with important advances.
In 2022, we joined the EcoVadis platform, a global benchmark in ESG performance assessment.
In 2023, we joined the UN Global Compact, reaffirming our alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and developed our First Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory according to the GHG Protocol methodology, in partnership with SENAI/FIESP.
As a result of this and other initiatives — such as the Code of Conduct and Policies, structured training and especially with leadership — we improved our position in the global ranking for our segment on EcoVadis by 25%.
In 2024, the journey continued with significant advances: we carried out the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Study for the FIBC Bulk Bag, providing greater transparency about the product’s environmental impact.
Additionally, the Second GHG Inventory was developed, also according to the GHG Protocol, and we joined the ETHOS Institute Value Chain Sustainability Program, focused on the structured implementation of ESG actions.
In 2025, we received the Tax Compliance Certificate (Sintonia Seal) from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service as an A+ Taxpayer.
Environment
Environmental awareness is reflected in relevant projects here at Embrasa. We were pioneers in manufacturing recycled FIBC Bulk Bags using post-consumer resin. We also have a Scrap Recovery Program in which nothing is wasted during the production process.

Sustainable FIBC Bulk Bags
Produced with post-consumer polypropylene resins (PCR – Post Consumer Resin), our Sustainable FIBC Bulk Bags were developed from the vision that plastic going to the field cannot become a source of pollution.
The entire process begins with the collection of used FIBC Bulk Bags. This material is sanitized for recycling, being transformed into resin. From there, a new production cycle begins using this resource as raw material.
With technology and investment in research and development, we are able to produce FIBC Bulk Bags with more than 50% post-consumer resin. This means that in addition to reducing the impact of plastic on the environment, we are able to avoid 18% of carbon dioxide emissions in the production process, using 20% less water.
The advantages don’t stop there. We have maintained the same strength, the same weight and the same price as the virgin packaging.
To prove that our solution is capable of resolving the concern of efficiency with reduced environmental impact, we commissioned an analytical life cycle study of PCR FIBC Bulk Bags, with verification by KPMG.

Agents of Transformation
Very early in our history, we embraced causes that resonate in the lives of many. Today, we are actively involved in a set of initiatives connected to our beliefs and values.
- Hospital Boldrini (Campinas/SP) – partner in fighting childhood cancer
- ONG Vida Breve (Taquara/RS) – urban arts school for children and youth from the streets
- ONG Amigos do Bem – fighting hunger and poverty through education, income generation and social development
- Community water well in the Matão neighborhood, Sumaré/SP
- Support for the restoration of Casa Vidal (Taquara/RS), an important historic heritage site
Governance – From the Inside Out
Just as important as our environmental and social initiatives, our governance is based on a system of rules, practices and processes that direct and control the organization ethically. This structure involves mechanisms for leadership, strategy and control to assess, direct and monitor our management, always focused on achieving objectives effectively and responsibly.
Social Actions
We believe that if we are not able to generate enough results to be able to dedicate part of it to those who need it most, perhaps it is not worth doing what we do.
Ethics, respect and collaboration are structural parts of what we believe in and how we act daily.
We value building a balanced and healthy work environment in all these respects. But we want this to be present beyond our walls, serving as an agent of transformation for a society that needs attention.
We cultivate long-term commitments — with our clients, employees, communities and the planet.
