Klabin advances in the sustainable management of forest areas in Santa Catarina

Present in Santa Catarina for over 50 years, Klabin remains committed to promoting environmentally responsible actions that contribute to the sustainable development of the region. The results of the Company’s effort can be seen in the 2023 Public Summary of Klabin’s Forest Management Plan in the state, now available to society at the link .

The document brings important evolutionary data on the forestry management adopted by the company, as well as on the environmental education actions implemented by the company. According to the material, Klabin’s forestry base reached 141 thousand hectares, distributed in 44 municipalities in Santa Catarina, in the West, Middle West, Serra Catarinense, North and Alto Vale regions, in addition to the Northeast, Center Northeast and East of Rio Great South. The Company also has forests in Paraná and São Paulo, with information available in separate documents.

Julio Nogueira, Klabin’s Sustainability and Environment manager, explains that the company is a world pioneer in the adoption of mosaic forest management, with pine and eucalyptus plantations interspersed with native forest areas, thus preserving local biodiversity. “In the forestry scope of Santa Catarina, the Company’s native areas represent 49% of the forestry base, a relevant volume that reflects our engagement with an environmentally responsible performance. In addition, planted and native forests make a strong contribution to preserving the environment, both in terms of protecting biodiversity and maintaining water sources,” he says.
