Klabin is Brazil's largest paper producer and exporter and the leading manufacturer of paper and board for packaging, corrugated board packaging and industrial bags.

It is also the only Brazilian company to simultaneously supply hardwood pulp (eucalyptus), softwood pulp (pine) and fluff pulp to the market.

On July 22, 2000, Celucat merged with Igaras to form the forest complex of Klabin Florestal Santa Catarina, which today manages an area of approximately 140,000 ha in 40 municipalities in the state of Santa Catarina, with the municipality of Lages the Social and Economic Development Center.

Klabin seeks to certify all of its units. If the need arises to purchase uncertified wood, Klabin is committed to making its best efforts to avoid procuring wood or wood fiber from the following categories:

Wood procurement policy:

Wood originating from illegal exploration;

Wood whose exploration resulted in the violation of civil and traditional rights;

Wood from forests whose high conservation value is threatened by management activities;

Wood from forests whose land is being converted into cropland or for non-forestry applications;

Wood from forests where genetically modified trees are planted.

In 2004, the Santa Catarina Forestry Unit received forest management certification from the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), which attests to the adoption of the best social, environmental and economic practices in its forest processes and operations.

Klabin strives to play an active role in social, environmental and economic issues by voluntarily undertaking commitments proposed by renowned institutions, as described on the following pages. Millennium Goals

The millennium goals were established by the United Nations (UN) in 2000, with the support of 191 nations, and became known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The MDGs are a universal commitment to eradicate poverty and promote the sustainability of the planet that was translated into eight objectives – the 8 Millennium Goals. Since 2013, Klabin has been a part of the group of companies working to guarantee the achievement of these goals, as follows:

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.2. Achieve universal primary education.3. Promote gender equality and empower

women.4. Reduce child mortality.5. Improve maternal health.6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other

diseases.7. Ensure environmental sustainability.8. Develop a global partnership for

development.

Global Compact

Aware of the role it plays in mobilizing society to build a fairer and more sustainable country, Klabin has been a signatory to the Global Compact since 2003. Developed by the United Nations (UN), the initiative, which already includes 5,200 organizations around the world, works to mobilize the international business community to adopt fundamental values in their business practices in the areas of human rights, labor relations, the environment and combating corruption.

Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE)Created in December 2005 by the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa), the ISE evaluates the various sustainability aspects of listed companies on an integrated basis. Its goal is to foster good practices in Brazil's business community. The selection of companies to compose the index is based on criteria developed by the School of Economics and Business Administration (EAESP) of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV). Klabin has been a component of the ISE since 2014.

Brazilian Pact to Eradicate Slave LaborIn 2013, Klabin became a signatory to the Brazilian Pact to Eradicate Slave Labor, which brings together Brazilian and multinational companies that have undertaken commitments not to do business with companies engaged in slave labor practices. The pact is managed by the Coordination and Monitoring Committee, which is formed by the Ethos Institute, the Social Observatory Institute (IOS), the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the NGO Repórter Brasil.

Business Pact for Integrity and Against CorruptionThis pact was launched in June 2006, by initiative of the Ethos Institute of Business and Social Responsibility, UniEthos – Training and Developing Socially Responsible Management, Patri Governmental Relations & Public Policies, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Global Compact Brazilian Committee.

The main commitments expressed in the text are:

providing information on legislation; disclosing, orienting and answering

questions on the main legal principles applicable to their activities;

prohibiting bribery; contributing transparently and legally to

political campaigns; disseminating the pact's principles among

its stakeholders; conducting open and transparent

investigations; working with the production chain.

Klabin has been a signatory to the pact since 2013.

ID Local

The goals of the Local Development and Large Enterprise Initiative (ID Local) is to work with the private sector to reflect on, exchange experiences and formulate business proposals and guidelines that promote local development. It encourages the discussion, analysis, coordination and co-development of proposals, methodologies and instruments for local management. All these efforts aim to ensure that local development figures prominently in the business strategies of the companies responsible for investments in large projects in underprivileged areas.

In 2014, Klabin was one of the companies recognized by the initiative Cases of Local Innovation and Development, for the case study “Structuring local empowerment and territorial engagement,” in the region of Paraná state. The work compiled a series of interconnected actions for the development of the company’s local communities in the state.

This work has been performed since the 1980s; however, with the Puma Project, the company’s actions are expanding across the community.

Forests Dialogue

The Forests Dialogue is a pioneering and autonomous initiative that facilitates interaction among representatives of forestry companies, environmental organizations and social movements to build a vision and commitment for both. It promotes effective actions associated with forest production and expands the scale of efforts aimed at conserving and restoring the environment, thereby generating benefits for its stakeholders and for society in general.

Klabin has been a member of the Brazilian Forests Dialogue since 2009, as a member of the Coordinating Board, which consists of representatives from five companies and five civil society organizations.

GHG Protocol

Klabin has been involved in this program since 2013, which works to encourage the corporate community to conduct and publish inventories of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by giving them access to world-class instruments and standards. Originally developed in the United States, in 1998, by the World Resources Institute (WRI), the GHG Protocol is a tool used to understand, quantify and manage GHG emissions.

Empresas Pelo Clima (EPC)

Since 2013, Klabin participates in this permanent business platform that works to mobilize, raise awareness among and coordinate the efforts of business leaders to manage and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, manage climate risks and propose public policies and positive incentives to combat climate change.

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)

Since 2006, Klabin has been involved in this global initiative to facilitate dialogue between investors and companies seeking to minimize the environmental impacts of their business activities in light of climate change.

Fundação Abrinq

The Abrinq Foundation for Children’s Rights uses the Friend of the Children Seal to recognize organizations that defend children’s rights. The seal attests that, among other actions, the company does not exploit child labor or not permit such practices in their production chain and that it carries out social actions to foster education and learning for children and youth in local communities.

Geoclimatic data

ClimateThe predominantly mesothermal climate in Santa Catarina supports pleasant temperatures that range from 13°C to 25°C. The temperate, humid climate with precipitation distributed evenly throughout the year is classified as Cfb under the Köppen climate classification. Frost is common in the region during the winter, with approximately 27 events registered per year.

Average annual temperature17.8 ºC.

Annual precipitation1,841 mm.

GeologyThe geology of the state of Santa Catarina can be divided in three areas: Atlantic Shield, Paraná Basin and Quaternary Sediments. The sedimentary layer of the Paraná Basin in the state of Santa Catarina (where the company’s forest management areas are located) comprises carboniferous, permian and triassic sediments, namely the Tubarão Super-Group and the Passa-Dois and São Bento Groups.

ReliefThe Lages Planalto region is mostly characterized by relief with homogenous divisions formed by hills. Some sections present topographic saliences that in general face southeast. The altitude in most of the unit is around 850 m to 900 m. Morro do Tributo has an altitude of 1,200 m, and the highest spot in Klabin’s areas is Morro das Antenas, in Urupema, at 1,785 m.

HydrologyBased on the level 1 coding of Drainage Basins in Brazil, the state of Santa Catarina comprises three Drainage Basins: the Paraná/Paraguay Rivers Basin, the Uruguay River Basin and the South and Southeast Atlantic Basin. Klabin’s plantations in Santa Catarina cover areas in these basins, in Drainage Regions 4, 5 and 7.

Pine and Eucalyptus Cultivation

The company is known for adopting sustainable management practices for multiple uses of wood forests, with planted pine and eucalyptus stands intermixed with native forests in mosaic systems.

The use of environmentally-correct practices in the company’s forest management activities, as well as proper management of the landscape, ensure excellent use of the forests’ production potential and the protection of natural resources.

Drainage Microbasin

To implement its drainage basin monitoring project, Klabin participates in the experimental network for environmental monitoring (ReMAM) through the Environmental Monitoring Program (PROMAB) and the Institute of Forest Research and Studies (IPEF).

PROMAB collects information on various companies and currently has 16 experimental microbasins located in areas of reforestation, native forest and pastureland in different edaphoclimatic conditions of the country, which certainly offer some of the most favorable conditions for establishing an integrated network of environmental monitoring in these microbasins. This leads to constant flows of information on the hydrological functioning of these areas and the identification of hydrological indicators for the sustainable management of forest plantations.

In Santa Catarina, Klabin conducts hydrological monitoring activities in two microbasins, one of which is a spillway installed in a contribution area inside a native forest, and the other a contribution area planted with Pinus taeda. Both microbasins are located on the Cavaletti Farm in the municipality of Ponte Alta.

studies, and simulations. Information from the forest base also is evaluated to monitor forest growth and dynamics. Planning is supported by the forest registration, geoprocessing, inventory and microplanning areas.

Forest Planning and Management

The planning area studies the various components of forest management to ensure the sustainability of forests in a systematic way and the supply of wood to the industrial operations and for sale to sawmills.

It conducts short-term (annual) and long-term planning (30 years). The harvest rate and forest intervention strategies are formulated based on data from inventories,

Forestry Operations

Klabin’s sapling production is self-sufficient, with nurseries that cultivate saplings from seed and clones. Any surplus production of pine and eucalyptus seeds has been sold since 1969.

Silviculture

The company’s main silviculture activities are carried out by its own teams and include land preparation, with operations to ensure soil and water conservation; planting of saplings; ant control; weed control; and fertilization in accordance with technical recommendations.

Harvest

An integrated mechanical harvesting system enables wood cutting activities in areas that are difficult to access due to soil characteristics (mud, slopes, etc.), and reduces raw material losses in the process. Forest mechanization also assures better working conditions and increases worker safety. This activity is carried out with rigorous controls to protect the adjacent native forests.

Logistics

The logistics area performs activities such as road construction/maintenance and wood loading/transportation. Loading and transportation activities are performed by own and outsourced teams. The wood is transported to the yards of the industrial units or intermediary storage facilities, sold directly at the farms or delivered to clients.

The company has outsourced and own teams working in its road operations. In addition to building and maintaining private roads on the farms, the company maintains in good condition the public roads in its local communities. It also collaborates with municipal governments in the maintenance of these roads, donating gravel, wood for bridges, pipes for sewers, labor and machinery for construction, etc.

Forest Protection

Pest Monitoring and ControlThe company maintains a pest and disease monitoring and control program to identify species that could pose threats to its forests.

Forest Property SecurityThe company has an outsourced structure in place with its own management to conduct forest property security. The surveillance structure comprises a team equipped with cars and motorcycles, communication radios, GPS, and digital cameras. It works to fight fires and protect fauna and flora by hindering the action of hunters and predatory fishermen with preventive and/or corrective measures, including mobile patrols and constant surveillance of Klabin’s areas.

The practice of social and environmental responsibility is a fundamental principle at Klabin, which organizes and supports social, cultural and environmental projects in local communities.

Klabin and its employees

People are the heart of Klabin’s operations, which is why we hire and make sure to retain the best professionals who are aligned with our values and committed to building a better company every day.

Better for everyone: clients, suppliers, employees, local residents, friends, families, neighbors and the millions of people who use the company’s products on a daily basis. Klabin believes that people are more than just the resources of a company, which is why it decided to no longer use the term Human Resources, replacing it with People & Management. The new nomenclature is more modern and accurate, emphasizing the company’s respect for human capital, which is a fundamental part of its business. We believe that each person brings different

skills and potentials that contribute to the creation of a culture of engagement, development and results among all employees.

Klabin offers a series of benefits, which are first presented during the job interview:

Promising careerKlabin’s industry is constantly growing, which means that people working in this field will have opportunities going forward.

SolidityKlabin has been operating in Brazil for more than a century. It is a leader in its industry, with countless industry certifications and acknowledgments. Even those who have never heard of Klabin certainly have come across one of its products, which are used to package the country’s major brands.

Training programsThe company offers training programs for different functions and stages of an employee’s career. The company’s professionals are continually prepared to become better, which makes a huge difference. The company and its employees mutually contribute to each other’s development. One of the many examples of this practice is Klabin’s Business School, which supports professional and leadership development within the company.

Workplace managementKlabin not only takes care of its forests, but also protects its work environment. The company continually strives to guarantee safe processes and to manage the organizational climate so that all employees feel safe and motivated at work.

High performanceOur leaders constantly monitor the performance of employees so that the company can maintain a relationship of reciprocity with each person. Klabin conducts employee performance evaluations and encourages the setting of indicators and targets to determine variable compensation in eligible positions.

Quality of lifeKlabin believes a sense of well-being is vital for employee productivity and quality of life. With that in mind, the company implemented the Klabin Quality of Life Program (KQLP), which is coordinated by health and people professionals from the Preventive Medicine and Quality of Life Committee. Based on five pillars (preventive medicine, nutritional orientation, physical activity/integration, alternative therapies and educational actions), the program’s actions promote a healthy balance between professional and personal life.

Occupational Health & Safety (OHS)In 2005, the company launched the Klabin Excellence in Occupational Health & Safety, a corporate program that works to implement and disseminate techniques and tools for

managing workplace health and safety, which comprises a system for identifying risks and treatments for effective control to guarantee quality of life, health and physical integrity.

The fundamentals of the OHS Program are:

1. Visible commitment: from leaders at all levels, through their attitudes; 2. Line responsibility: leaders at all levels are responsible for the management of their area;3. Operating discipline: the behaviors and attitudes of people at all levels and in all areas.

Klabin and the Community

Environmental EducationThe Caiubi Program works to disseminate the concepts of ecological awareness to teachers and students at various schools in the Planalto Serrano region. In 2015, one edition of the Caiubi Program was organized jointly with the inauguration of the Environmental Education Center in Correia Pinto. In 2019, other cities in Klabin’s area of operation will be included in the program, which to date has reached 508 schools, 1,348 teachers, and 178,514 students in the 30 phases carried out in the state of Santa Catarina.

Araucária TrailKlabin’s Araucária Trail is located in the municipality of Correia Pinto, near the company’s facilities. The 1,260-meter trail is interspersed with stands of native forest on Klabin’s forestry areas. The trail is used by teachers and students who participate in the Caiubi Program, as well as other visitors. People who have an opportunity to visit the trail, who come from many different locations, receive information on the environment, the company and its social and environmental actions.

Programa Crescer Lendo

The Growing Up Reading Project is an initiative of Klabin, the United Way Brasil and the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), along with their technical partner, the Avisa Lá Institute (Santa Catarina Foundation for Education Professionals). The project’s works to improve the relationship of children up to 6 years old with books, help implement Brazil’s National Pact for Literacy at the Right Age and stimulate creativity and

Environmental ProtectorsThe Environmental Protector program is a program of the Military Police of Santa Catarina to prepare pre-adolescents to work as multipliers in environmental education. Klabin has supported the program jointly with the Environmental Police since 2005. Sponsored by Klabin, the Environmental Protectors Program already has engaged 370 youth from 11 to 14 years old in various municipalities of the company’s operating area. In 2019, the program will form its 15th class in the municipality of Otacílio Costa.

Growth ProgramThe project contributes to the personal and professional development of the company’s employees and outsourced workers (forestry and industrial), maintains a direct communication channel for them and improves their quality of life. Meetings are held every two months with each work team in either the work environment (field) or training rooms.

Forestry Development ProgramThe Forestry Development Program plays an important social role by ensuring an alternative source of income for small farmers, which helps to keep people from migrating to cities, and by helping them to better use their land, most of which is unsuitable for farming food crops.

with the Santa Catarina State Agricultural Research Agency (Epagri) and the municipal governments of the Santa Catarina Planalto region, coordinates a Forestry Development Program for the planting of pine and eucalyptus.

Legal Forest ProgramThe program, since 2008, is a partnership between the Association for Preservation of the Environment and Life (Apremavi) and Klabin. The Legal Forest Program initially focuses on producers participating in Klabin’s Forestry Development Program, which works to provide farmers and their families with a sustainable economic activity that generates extra income. The Forestry Development and Legal Forest Programs combine income generation and the diversification of production activities with the recovery of Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) connected to watersheds, creeks and rivers. The program also promotes environmental conservation and education actions.

Lectures and Community RelationsOver the course of the year, many groups of students and teachers request lectures at events such as seminars, academic weeks and commemorative dates (Environment Day, Water Day, Arbor Day) or even tours of the company to learn more about its actions in the environmental area and to discover the Araucária Trail.

Klabin and the environment

Since its creation, Klabin’s actions have been guided by its concern with preserving the environment.

Protected AreasIn Santa Catarina, 50.39% of the company’s total area is set aside for environmental preservation. Planted forests, which account for 44.23% of the company’s total area, have made important contributions to environmental preservation by helping to protect biodiversity and conserve headwaters. The company’s forest management activities adopt a mosaic-planting concept, with pine and eucalyptus stands intermixed with stands of native forests, which helps to protect biodiversity.

Serra da Farofa Complex RPPNThe Serra da Farofa Complex Natural Heritage Private Reserve (RPPN) has a total area of 4,987.16 hectares dedicated exclusively to natural resources conservation located in the region of Klabin’s operations in the state of Santa Catarina. These areas harbor important watersheds, such as those of rivers Canoas and Caveiras, which supply water to the municipalities of Otacílio Costa, Correia Pinto and Lages.

High Conservation Value Areas (HCVAs)The conservation attributes established for HCVAs are currently being studied in Klabin’s areas in accordance with the Criteria of Principle 9 of the FSC® and with the ProForest Guide for High Conservation Value Areas, as follows:

HCV 1 – SpeciesAreas containing globally, regionally or nationally significant concentrations of biodiversity values.

HCV 2 – LandscapeGlobally, regionally or nationally significant large landscapes where viable populations of most if not all naturally occurring species exist in natural patterns of distribution and abundance.

HCV 3 – EcosystemsAreas that are in or contain rare, threatened or endangered ecosystems.

HCV 4 – Environmental servicesAreas that provide basic ecosystem services in critical situations (e.g., watershed protection, erosion control).

HCV 5 – Basic needs of local populationsAreas fundamental to meeting basic needs of local communities (e.g., subsistence, health).

HCV 6 – Cultural importanceAreas critical to local communities’ traditional cultural identity (areas of cultural, ecological, economic or religious significance identified in cooperation with such local communities).

Another important area acquired was Fazenda das Nascentes, commonly known as the Farofa Farm, in reference to a local range bearing the same name. Located in the municipality of Painel, which borders Urupema, sector, it has 1,518.57 hectares of

The areas comprising the Serra da Farofa Complex are considered HCVAs given that they preserve attributes such as protecting watersheds and endangered animals. The areas also harbor important plant formations, such as Brazilian pine forests, high altitude fields and cloud forests. The rich local fauna also includes species officially listed as endangered.

The result of the study presented in the following table is a compilation of different analysis conducted by qualified experts, and the HCVAs presented were validated through public consultations with representatives from the scientific community and local public, as well as by internal technical assessments conducted by the company.

Therefore, different forest management activities are adopted for the areas defined as HCVAs to maintain and maximize the attributes identified.

I. Cultivation PracticesForest productivity depends on the cultivation practices adopted, such as soil preparation, spacing and control of encroaching weeds.

II. Abiotic and biotic factorsForest plantations could be affected by adverse environmental events, such as fires, frost, wind, hailstorm, water deficit, pest and disease attacks, presence of domestic animals, etc.

III. Climatic Factors and Technological DevelopmentDue to favorable climatic conditions and advanced technological development, wood from planted forests in Brazil have relatively short cycles and high yields, keeping the country active in the international market for forestry products.

IV. Technological Development and Commercial GrowthSupported by advanced technological developments, wood from planted forests in Brazil have favorable climate and edaphic conditions, relatively short cycles and high yields, keeping the country active in the international market for forestry products.

A general evaluation of the regional scenario suggests that the justification for species selection and economic feasibility of the management activity are due to the favorable climate and edaphic conditions, as well as the market outlook for commercial planted forests.
