Suzano Launches Nature Strategy and Reinforces the Strategic Importance of Biodiversity Conservation to the Business

Suzano, the world's largest pulp producer, launched its science-led Nature Strategy to prioritize biodiversity in business decision-making.
The strategy was developed in collaboration with IUCN & follows the mitigation hierarchy of avoid, reduce, restore & transform.
Suzano pioneered the STAR metric to map sensitive areas, identify 125 endangered species, & selected 24 priority species for action.
Internal analyses covered 2.9 million hectares of owned land & extended to 10 million hectares across analyzed watersheds to support conservation at scale.
The approach consolidated the RHINO methodology for measurable nature-positive outcomes & was published as a case study at the IUCN Congress.
The strategy aligns with long-term goals to connect 500,000 hectares of forest fragments via ecological corridors & increase water availability in critical watersheds.
Objectives support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework & the development of a regenerative economy.
Development involved over 25 stakeholders including government, academia, NGOs, experts & local communities to ensure diverse perspectives.
Executive Manager Giordano Automare stated that nature integrity ensures business resilience & community well-being amidst global ecosystem alteration.
