Pulp and paper producer Suzano has announced that it has joined the ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C’ campaign and the ‘Science Based Target Initiative’ (SBTi), a movement that seeks to promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and resulting global transition to a low carbon economy. By joining these initiatives, the company will also take part in the ‘Race to Zero’ campaign, a coalition supported by the United Nations (UN) that brings together leaders committed to working towards a healthy, resilient recovery, with the objective of stimulating the decarbonization of the world economy.


Aligning with SBTi reinforces Suzano’s commitment to assume a leading position in global discussions on the effects of climate change, a generational issue that requires immediate and relevant action by the world’s leaders and the global population.


Suzano has already made voluntary commitments to reduce its emissions and expand its efforts to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, which make up the ‘Commitments to Renew Life’, a set of 14 long term public goals.


In addition, the company will establish goals aligned with the SBTI’s 1.5°C emission reduction target scenarios within a period of up to two years, as stipulated by the initiative. This effort will cover both their own emissions and value chain emissions.


‘We are developing new products from planted trees that can replace materials derived from fossil fuel sources and our efforts are already contributing directly to the capture of carbon from the atmosphere. But we want to go further. By joining the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign, the SBTi and the ‘Race to Zero’ campaigns, we will work to bring together more actors, whether from the private sector or the public sphere, to discuss and agree how we can move towards a low carbon economy,’ said Walter Schalka, chief executive officer of Suzano.
