Klabin’s approach to climate change
Created by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to develop recommendations on the disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) seeks to increase financial transparency for investors, focusing on governance, strategy, risk management and metrics.
GlossaryThe Paris Agreement is an international treaty adopted in 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which entered into force in 2016. Its main objective is to keep the increase in global average temperature well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C, through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), transparency mechanisms and periodic cycles to strengthen climate ambition.
GlossaryThe Company is working to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. To support this goal, it established four new emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), representing even more ambitious contributions toward limiting the rise in global average temperature.
The evolution of climate indicators over recent years demonstrates the consistent progress of this agenda, reflecting the strengthening of climate governance and the gradual implementation of concrete actions across Klabin’s operations and value chain.
Climate change
Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to the 2022 base year. Period: 2022 to 2030
Climate change
Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to the 2022 base year. Period: 2022 to 2030
Climate change
Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to the 2022 base year. Period: 2022 to 2050
Climate change
Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2050 compared to the 2022 base year. Period: 2022 to 2030
Note: As part of the process of updating its science-based targets, Klabin segmented its emissions into the Energy & Industry (E&I) and Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) categories, in accordance with the SBTi methodology. E&I emissions cover industrial operations related to the production of paper, pulp and packaging, while FLAG emissions are associated with forestry activities such as cultivation and harvesting. Targets aligned with the 1.5°C scenario were approved exclusively for industrial emissions, as the SBTi methodology for defining FLAG targets is currently under review. The Company continues to monitor and participate in the SBTi methodology review process for setting FLAG targets and will submit its targets as soon as the updated version is published and considered appropriate.
Evolution of climate management in the value chain
Reducing Scope 3 emissions is one of the priorities of Klabin’s climate agenda. In 2025, the Company intensified its engagement with suppliers and customers through the “Klabin Transforma” (Klabin Transforms) Value Chain Program, with the objective of supporting the advancement of greenhouse gas emissions management across the value chain, encouraging suppliers and customers to better understand their carbon inventories and establish emissions reduction strategies.
As an initial step, suppliers and customers considered most relevant in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions were prioritized, followed by an assessment of these partners’ level of maturity in greenhouse gas emissions management.
Based on this evaluation, three workshops were held for suppliers, bringing together nearly 200 participants. Each meeting was designed for a specific group within the value chain and covered content and guidance aligned with the needs identified at each stage of maturity, contributing to technical capacity building and the dissemination of best practices.
Currently, 110 suppliers and 116 customers are part of the Klabin Transforma Value Chain Program, including suppliers of materials and service providers with greater climate relevance, as well as customers with a significant impact on emissions across the value chain.
These initiatives are essential for Klabin to more accurately understand where the main leverage points for value chain decarbonization are located, enabling the Company to guide engagement, cooperation and technical support actions in a progressive and structured manner.
Climate initiatives and commitments endorsed by Klabin
Business Ambition for 1.5°C – Our Only Future
A global initiative led by the United Nations that encourages companies to align their decarbonization strategies with the goal of limiting the increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in line with the Paris Agreement.
GHG Protocol
An international program that promotes standardization and transparency in the preparation and disclosure of corporate greenhouse gas emissions inventories, contributing to stronger climate management and data-driven decision-making.
Brazilian Public CO₂ Emissions Registry
A platform coordinated by the think tank and university Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV) under the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, which compiles and publicly discloses corporate GHG emissions inventories. The Company’s participation reinforces its commitment to transparency, comparability and the high-quality disclosure of climate information to the market and society.
Race to Zero
A global UN campaign that brings together state and non-state actors committed to the progressive reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, with the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, in line with climate science.
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
An initiative that develops methodologies and technical criteria to support companies in setting emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
Renewable energy
The share of renewable sources in the Company’s energy mix remained stable at 93.4%. This is the third consecutive year that Klabin has remained above the 2030 target of 92%, and the expectation is that this target will soon be revised. The aim is to continue increasing the use of renewable energy in the coming years, in line with the Climate Transition Plan strategy.
