Carbon Neutral & Circularity

BEYOND CARBON AND

Renewable Energy:
100% renewable energy in the Ceará and Piauí operations by 2024, reducing carbon emissions to the atmosphere.
Circularity and Zero Waste
Maximum reutilisation, reuse and recycling of waste, avoiding waste disposal, avoiding also garbage disposal and the carbon emissions of materials at the end of its lifespans.
Carbon Neutral
Develop strong and clear strategy to for Net Zero to help keeping global warming to no more than 1.5°C – as called for in the Paris agreement.

Pontes has made a public commitment to the Net Zero Movement, a UN initiative.
100% RENEWABLE ENERGY, from biomass and self generation solar energy, in Piauí; 99% RENEWABLE ENERGY, in Ceará; avoiding the emission of 478,68 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year, equivalent to 1,534 trees in 2023.
1st company of its sector to have received the Gold Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Programme.
Our science-based emissions reduction targets have been officially approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
“ZERO WASTE” 98% reutilisation, reuse, and recycling of waste, avoiding the disposal of 1,233 tons of garbage in 2023.
