Klabin

SAO PAULO, May 31, 2016 (Press Release) -Klabin, Brazil's largest paper producer and exporter and the leading producer of paper and board for packaging, corrugated board packaging and industrial bags, presents its Sustainability Report, which brings information about the company's performance in 2015. The report, in its 17th edition, is structured into four chapters: Excellence, Sustainability, Innovation, and Vision for the Future. These topics correspond to the attributes that have been guiding the organization over its 117-year history and cover the nine most important themes for sustainability management at Klabin:

  • Competitiveness and economic results;
  • Environment;
  • Wood supply;
  • Promotion of local development and relationship with communities;
  • Business expansion;
  • Health and safety of direct and indirect employees;
  • Research, development and innovation;
  • Certifications;
  • Customer satisfaction and product quality.

The report highlights the fact that 2015 was a crucial year for Klabin when it took an important step in its growth cycle: the new plant - the Puma Unit in Ortigueira, Paraná - with production capacity of 1.5 million tons of pulp. The plant went operational in March 2016, on schedule and on budget.

The report also highlights the 15% growth in exports, which accounted for 34% of total sales in the year, up 3 percentage points from 2014. Operating cash generation (adjusted EBITDA) reached R$1,975 million in 2015, the best result in the company's history, up 15% from 2014.

Among the honors that attest to the company's more intensive efforts in 2015 towards sustainability are its election by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Latin America as the company with the best practice in Natural Capital Management; being featured in the "Water Management" category of the Exame Sustainability Guide; being included once again, driven by a solid and evident performance, in the Environmental Paper Company Index (EPCI) Report, a biennial initiative of the WWF; and being included in the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBovespa), for the third time in a row.

The Klabin report adopts the "G4 Core" guidelines of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the organization internationally recognized as the benchmark of excellence in creating methodologies and indicators to describe the social, environmental and economic management of companies. The complete report (Portuguese, English and Spanish) is available online, a condensed version (Portuguese and English) is available for download and an audio description version for the visually impaired will be available in July this year. The contents of the report were submitted for independent assurance by BSD Consulting.

HELSINKI, April 8, 2016 (Press Release) -Kemira Oyj has successfully started up production in its new sodium chlorate plant located in Ortigueira, Paraná, Brazil. The sodium chlorate produced at the plant is used for on-site generation of chlorine dioxide, a key bleaching agent in bleached pulp production.

Kemira’s plant is built adjacent to Klabin SA’s new pulp mill securing a long-term partnership between the two units. This concept is a good example of sustainable circular economy where the production facilities make use of renewable energy from the pulp mill, Kemira providing the pulp production sodium chlorate it needs. Electricity is the main raw material for sodium chlorate.

"Kemira is a global leader in the production and supply of chemicals for the pulp and paper industry and has the most comprehensive offering for pulp production. The new plant strengthens our capabilities to serve the growing demand for pulping chemicals in the South American market", says Billy Ford, Senior Vice President, Pulp & Paper, The Americas.

The new pulp mill in Brazil (Puma Project) is the largest investment in Klabin’s history and will almost double the company’s production capacities. The unit has a capacity of 1.5 million tons of pulp, with 1.1 million tons of bleached hardwood pulp (eucalyptus) and 400,000 tons of bleached softwood pulp (pine). The new mill will also generate a renewable and sustainable bioenergy surplus of 150 MWh/h.

SAO PAULO, Jan. 11, 2016 (Press Release) -Klabin, Brazil’s largest paper producer and exporter, formalized an agreement with the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), the Specialty Coffee Association of Brazil (BSCA), the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) and packaging maker Videplast Indústria de Embalagens for the study "Development of Packaging and Storage Methods for Specialty Coffees," which will be coordinated by Flávio Meira Borém, a professor in the Engineering Department at UFLA. The study will analyze the characteristics of specialty coffee during the entire process, from the producer and stocking period to its export, storage and consumption in the country of destination.

The new coffee packaging developed by Klabin, in partnership with Videplast, is made from high-strength extensible paper that can be printed in up to eight colors. With capacity of 30 kilograms, the sack is hermetically sealed through a system that uses a film that serves as a barrier and protects against light, while also featuring an "Easy Open" system that makes it easier for the end client to open and store the coffee. These innovations help to ensure the product's safety and the quality of the coffee beans, while preserving their original characteristics.

During the study, analyses of the sensorial, physical and chemical properties of the lots were conducted at set intervals. The study considered various lots of natural coffee and hulled coffee cherries. The study's findings should show if the different materials used in the packaging offer positive results for protecting the sensorial attributes of specialty coffees. 

The project, which was formalized last Wednesday (6), also enjoys the support of Bourbon Specialty Coffees and Carmocoffees. Representatives from the companies and institutions were at UFLA to sign the agreement during a ceremony held in the room Salão dos Conselhos located in the Dean’s building.
