What does the sustainable use of natural resources mean to Aracruz?
Aracruz believes that to protect the environment is to protect its own future. In the final analysis, the success of any undertaking employing natural resources depends more than anything upon its capacity for adequately managing and renewing these resources to ensure their perpetual availability. Aracruz works with this vision, and its commitment to the concept of sustainable development is widely recognized today, both in Brazil and abroad. In forestry, the Company’s research in the fields of silviculture, biotechnology and forest management seeks to assure the sustainability of natural resources. At its mills, investments are continuously being made to improve control of effluents, emissions and wastes in order to minimize the environmental impact of pulp production.
