Our proactive efforts in fostering biodiversity within our green areas enable a sustainable coexistence with our agricultural production system. We manage over 19,100 hectares dedicated to the conservation of fauna and flora, spread across the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes.

Since 2018, we have adopted a proactive approach in implementing projects focused on wildlife observation and the development of the bee chain, promoting their harmonious coexistence in our orchards to create a more sustainable ecosystem. Additionally, we are committed to preserving areas surrounding springs, rivers, and lakes, recognizing their crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and water resources.

We acknowledge the importance of biodiversity for the sustainability of our agricultural operations and for ensuring a balanced environment essential to the quality of life for people and communities. Thus, we will continue evolving our 2030 commitments to meet current and future demands.

Water is a fundamental resource for ensuring dignified conditions for people, communities, and our business. It is essential for sustaining life. Through our business operations, we play a crucial role in promoting positive impacts, with water being a key element in this context.

Our efficient drip irrigation systems deliver water and nutrients directly to plant roots. To ensure even more responsible water use in this process, we have approved the implementation of four mega reservoirs in areas with critical water availability.

Across our four industrial facilities, technological investments allow for water treatment and reuse, strengthening water resource recirculation in recent harvests.

By 2030, we will further optimize water resource intake in agricultural operations through reservoir operations and irrigation area expansion.

In our factories, we will advance water footprint efficiency through monitoring and technology, ensuring lower resource consumption.

Citrosuco, in partnership with Instituto Votorantim, has joined efforts to create the Municipal Development Index (IDM), a valuable tool that consolidates socio-environmental indicators from all Brazilian municipalities based on public data.

Comprising four thematic pillars—Education, Work and Income, Health, and Environment—the IDM helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of different municipalities, providing a comprehensive view for public managers and other stakeholders. Additionally, it enables comparisons between municipalities, encouraging informed decision-making to drive long-term social transformation.

To address key vulnerabilities, Citrosuco has prioritized 10 strategic territories. In these municipalities, the main challenges were identified, along with programs and social technologies that can help mitigate them through Citrosuco’s social investment.

Our commitment is to build a lasting legacy alongside communities and generate a positive impact wherever Citrosuco operates.

People are at the core of our purpose. In 2024, we made significant strides toward a more diverse leadership, achieving 30% representation of women and Black individuals in supervisory and higher positions across various teams in our business.

Our commitment to promoting diversity dates back to 2015, with the launch of the Para Todos Program, which focuses on key initiatives to advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

This program will be strengthened through leadership-driven awareness and engagement campaigns, alongside the ongoing review of processes and practices.

Citrosuco already operates 100% of its 25 company-owned farms under SAI Platform Gold Level certification, adhering to the most rigorous international agricultural practices.

Thanks to collaboration with our value chain of fruit producers, we achieved 77% certified sustainable fruit sourcing in the 2023/2024 harvest.

Our commitment to a sustainable supply chain began in 2016 with the launch of the Trilhar Program, aimed at strengthening relationships with our fruit suppliers and promoting best sustainability practices.

A major milestone on this journey was our 2020 commitment to the Sustainable Juice Covenant (SJC), a global initiative ensuring 100% sustainable value chains by 2030. Since 2022, we have been part of the SJC Executive Committee, working alongside leading global companies.

In alignment with our commitment, we undergo annual audits by PwC Netherlands to standardize our value chain according to SJC parameters. These initiatives allow us to demonstrate traceability of our raw materials and transparency in our processes.

We will continue advancing toward our 2030 commitment through investment, collaboration, and partnerships to enable sustainability certifications for our partner producers.
