2030 Goals

2030 Goals

Part of our purpose is to fuel the good and fuel a truly sustainable world, day by day. To achieve this, we established long-term goals to guide our activities until 2030.

We publicly made four commitments to society, all of which are aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.

REDUCTION IN CO2

  • Avoid the emission of 31.7 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
    FS issued 2.56 million Decarbonization Credits (CBIOs) during the 2024/2025 harvest season. This volume is 52.8% higher than the 1.59 million credits issued in the previous harvest season.
  • Negative carbon emissions from ethanol produced at one of our industrial units with the implementation of a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) system.
    The BECCS Project aims to capture CO2 originating from ethanol fermentation and inject it into deep underground formations. Operations are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026, with an annual capture and storage capacity of approximately 423 thousand tons of CO2 at the Lucas do Rio Verde unit.

WATER, WASTE, AND EFFLUENTS

  • Reduce water consumption by 5% by 2030. Target achieved—ongoing tracking maintained.
  • Reduce waste disposed at landfills by 40% by 2030. Target achieved—ongoing tracking maintained.
  • Construction of an outfall pipeline at the Lucas do Rio Verde and Sorriso industrial plants. The Sorriso unit implemented the fertigation method, while the Lucas do Rio Verde unit adopts infiltration ponds, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to safe, efficient, and sustainable solutions.

EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

  • Develop a technical training program and ensure that 70% of our operational hires originate from local communities by 2030.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE

  • Rank among the top 1% in global ESG ratings.

    FS was classified as medium risk in the Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating.
  • Ensure transparency in governance processes.

    We conduct mandatory annual anti-corruption training for all employees. During the last harvest season, we recorded zero significant regulatory non-compliance incidents resulting in monetary sanctions exceeding 1% of FS’ annual revenue.

Our goals for 2030 reflect FS’s ongoing commitment to sustainable development and creating value for society. For more information on the objectives, indicators, and initiatives guiding this journey, please access our Sustainability Report.
