SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017 • PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

SUSTAINABILITY, INNOVATION, AND CREATIVITY

In order to get good results and profitability, any company needs to think strategically in each decision that takes, based on indicators and statistics co-opted from the deep business understanding and analysis of scenario, opportunities, and market risks besides considering teams of high performance that work with reliability and commitment.

This could not be different at Coruripe Plan. Our results are totally associated to the policies we adopt, being the sustainability policies one of them. We have a productive chain that requires total control of costs, besides facing a volatile, uncertain, and complex market, where each company member has the fundamental responsibility to think as the business owner.

The most important ingredient to reach the best results is to have an enthusiastic team which works with autonomy and creativity in process improvement, always considering safety. Our milling during 2016/2017 harvest summed up 14.16 million of sugarcane tons, producing 20.18 million of sugar bags, 445 million of ethanol liters, and 686 thousand MWh of electrical power. Other result that makes us very proud was the award of two-time champion in Productivity for Harvest 2016/2017 of TCH (sugarcane ton per hectare), granted by Idea Group taking in consideration that we were the winners in the previous harvest.

Besides being chosen as one of the best Brazilian companies to work, according Great Place to Work of Época Magazine, and Guidance of 150 Best Companies to Work of Exame Magazine, we are also finalist in the publication The Best People Management in the newspaper Valor Econômico.

We stimulate our leadership to lead their teams in order to contribute with the expected results, complying with the law and all regulations of work safety, after all the respect for people is one of our values and well-being of our team is the number one priority. At Coruripe Plant, the rule is clear: no matter how relevant it is, no task should be performed if it puts our collaborators health at a risk.

Other differential intrinsically associated to the company values is the social development of community inhabitants in the cities where we have influence.

Our practices generate jobs and income and bring progress for these regions. In the environmental area, we reinforce crop of native seedling from Atlantic Forest, promoting construction of ecological corridors for free traffic of native animals in the region. There are over 17 thousand hectares of Brazilian flora preserved in Alagoas and Minas Gerais. Pumas, ocelots, capybaras, deer live completely protected and free.

We also point out our programs of voluntary work that collect thousands of toys for underprivileged children and tons of food for charity institutions widespread in the cities where there are production plants.

Sustainability Report that we are submitting now is the balance of all these events, all decisions that have been taken throughout 2016 related to the company’s sustainable growth. We pursue to promote continuous improvement of the processes, making available resources, so that, all collaborators work on the environmental impact prevention and exercising citizenship. Thus, we create committees and technical groups on water, energy, and waste.

Discipline, hard work, determination, and persistence are practices included in the daily routine of Coruripe Plan. That is the way we are experiencing 2017 and the new challenges that arise. We pursue high profitability, adding value to our shareholders, collaborators, suppliers, and society, always with a purpose of perpetuation our business, respecting people and nature.

At Coruripe Plant, the human being is a value more important than company’s objectives and goals. Anything should overlap the integrity of our collaborators and no emergency situation or production may serve as reason to operate without safety.

The company has the responsibility to make available the resource in order to have all tasks performed safely. It is up to all of us to meet the legal regulations and internal rules to preserve people’s lives and work environment.

The leader is responsible for the safety of people who work in his/her area. He/she should always promote the safe behavior meeting the established standards and rules, besides stimulating the participation of everyone to remove the potential risks.

Work Safety Team will always act as support in the preventive instructions to collaborators and mainly as a technical support along with leaders.

Each collaborator has the responsibility of acting always prioritizing his/her own safety and safety of colleagues and other people who are in his/her work environment.

Besides producing energy for industrial unit operation during harvesting period, the sugarcane pomace has an important role in the plant since, and still generate dividends from sale of the excess to energy concessionaire in Alagoas and Minas Gerais.

With electrical energy produced, we could monthly supply a city with around 568,000 thousand inhabitants
