The responsibility of a company with its surroundings goes beyond the needs inherent in its business. Corporate sustainability combines not only the economic balance of the institution, but also its role in social and environmental issues where it operates. The company that invests in the generation of value of natural capital, especially that of which it is directly dependent, thus guarantees the continuity of its production processes.

Social responsibility is also present in the company’s mission, which seeks to create value for the stakeholders and well-being for the communities with which it interacts.

In order to meet the demands and realities of the various partners, to guide the corporate management strategy and to monitor the execution of contractual instruments, the participation of stakeholders in Brazil and Paraguay is promoted. There is no specific policy of community engagement, but the company prioritizes work in partnerships and adopts practices according to objectives and audiences related to each action.
