Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Encouraging diversity, equity and inclusion is a responsibility of society as a whole, including companies. The topic is so important to us that it is part of one of our Culture Drivers, which holds that cultivating diversity makes us stronger. We believe that diversity of ideas and experiences is essential to making the planet a better place, which is why we work internally and externally to promote this concept.

Plural

In 2016, a group made up of individuals from different Suzano teams organically engaged with the topic of diversity. This is how Plural was born. Supported by the company’s leadership, the initiative works in five diversity-related areas, or affinity groups: generations, LGBTQIAP+, women, Black people and people with disabilities.

Developmental Initiatives

We have awareness and educational activities to prepare leaders who are more inclusive and help our entire team recognize and avoid unconscious biases.

Women’s Entrepreneurship

We are part of WE Ventures, a fund that supports startups led by women, in partnership with Microsoft, SEBRAE, M8 Partners and Bertha Capital. The fund encourages women’s entrepreneurship through training courses and investments in companies started by women. We are the first company in the paper and pulp sector to be part of the initiative, in which we will invest up to R$5 million.
