  • wdt_ID	Intensity of greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), in tCO₂ equivalent/tonne of product¹	2019	2020
    1	Total	0.3369	0.3295
  1. Emissions intensity includes the following gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs). The indicator also includes Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and considers the total production of pulp (market pulp and pulp for paper) and paper (finished paper, fluff and tissue).

  Additional information:

  The year 2020 was marked by a 3.85% increase in total production (sum of the total production of pulp, paper and consumer goods) and Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions 1.57% higher than in 2019. Because of the industrial model of pulp production, in which waste is used to generate energy, the increase in production does not generate a directly proportional increase in emissions because energy generation based on biomass and black liquor (renewable fuel/process by-product) is greater the higher the production, reducing the need for fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. In forestry and logistics operations, Suzano employed a number of initiatives to optimize and maximize efficiency. In the administrative processes, because of Covid-19, with many of our employees working from home and with significantly reduced travel, there were reductions in emissions.
