Legado was designed to help address challenges relevant not only to Suzano, but to the entire Brazilian forestry sector and society as a whole. The initiative extends beyond the company by promoting partnerships with leading national and international universities and by encouraging the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge on strategic sustainability topics.
The study themes and formats defined within the academic partnerships were chosen based on priority issues for the sector, under the pillars of biodiversity, water, soil, and people. In this way, Legado contributes to Suzano's Commitments to Renew Life by supporting, through education and research, strategic agendas related to biodiversity conservation, sustainable water management, climate action, and people's development — strengthening long-term capabilities and solutions for the company's journey to 2030.
In addition, the initiative strengthens the generation and dissemination of knowledge, the development of new leaders, and Brazil's positioning as an international reference on environmental and social topics, expanding its positive impact beyond the company's own operations.
