Negative environmental impacts in the supply chain and actions taken
Each supplier category has a specific monitoring process, in which we assess their practices and performance in relation to the topics relevant to our commitments. Suppliers included in critical categories, which present a higher risk of ESG non-compliance, are subjected to rigorous monitoring of social and environmental and compliance aspects, especially related to environmental licenses, debts and labor lawsuits. In 2023, we mapped 2,120 suppliers from critical categories.
