Note: the total workforce in 2022 differs from the figure reported in the 2022 Sustainability Report as it excludes employees in our operations in Mato Grosso do Sul (a total of 392 employees; 310 men and 82 women). In 2023, our operations in Mato Grosso do Sul were merged into MS Florestal, an RGE group company, and therefore ceased to be part of Bracell’s operations.
