GRI 308-1 New suppliers that were screened using environmental criteria
Suppliers of equipment, products and services are screened using the approach described in GRI 3-3 Management of the material topic Supplier social and environmental assessment. All suppliers are required to be screened, including new suppliers. In 2023, all suppliers that worked directly on our operations throughout the year were assessed in regards to social and environmental requirements. Suppliers are obliged to comply with environmental legislation, technical standards, among other mandatory requirements that integrate Bracell forestry and milling certifications standars. The suppliers are selected for integrating Bracell operations if they meet the mandatory criteria. Suppliers are managed separately, by operation. Regarding the 2023 performance, the total number of suppliers assessed and selected according to these criteria is not available.
