In January 2022, SULPLAST carried out the fourth review of the Contingency Plan – COVID-19 Prevention. This measure aims to keep the company's actions updated and assertive, especially regarding to the new challenges imposed by the Omicron variant.

With several safety and health actions already developed and many others in progress, SULPLAST works to encourage vaccination and promote a culture of prevention, aiming to be a reference in the fight against the pandemic at a corporate level.

Through the acquisition of renewable and incentivized energy from solar, wind, thermoelectric and SHP's (small hydro power plants), between January and December 2020, SULPLAST contributed to reduce by 133.67 tons, the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emitted into the atmosphere. This is equivalent to a reforestation project of 936 trees planted over 30 years.

This expressive result guaranteed the company the Renewable Energy Certificate, granted by the partnership between SINERCONSULT and COMERC ENERGIA.

With the environmental performance of the last two years, the CO2 reductions achieved by SULPLAST represent the reforestation of 2,217 trees.

The methodology for data collecting and conclusions establishment, follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, from The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative, a set of parameters used internationally since 2001, by private companies, NGO’s and government entities, to measure the emission of greenhouse gases.

With a program to obtain renewable and incentivized energy established in 2018, SULPLAST continually reinforces its commitment to sustainable development and shows alignment with the ISO 14.001 guidelines.

Due to the high performance during the year 2020 in terms of guarantee, quality, delivery and continuous improvement, SULPLAST once again received the 10 PPM Award from the PACCAR Group, controller of the DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt brands.

According to the Sales and After-Sales Representative Agent of SULPLAST in Paraná, Allan George A. Jaigobind, the award attests to the company's reliability and resilience: “Even facing the pandemic scenario, with a shortage of inputs in many sectors, we are recognized as a reference in guaranteeing supply and product quality. This shows that SULPLAST is a strong link in the supply chain and a strategic partner, able to promote assertive solutions in the most challenging moments”.

The 10 PPM certificate of excellence places SULPLAST among the best suppliers of the PACCAR Group worldwide and confirms the effectiveness of the established operational guidelines.

According to the Social and Environmental Impact Report (RIA) issued by the urban recycler REURBI, already in the first collection period, SULPLAST sent 90 kg of disused electronic for reuse of parts or even to put the product back on the market, such as a used and refurbished Remakker brand equipments. With this volume, it was possible to prevent 172 kg of greenhouse gases (GHG) from being emitted into the atmosphere and 1 kg of toxic metals discarded into the environment.

With the partnership next to REURBI initiated in June 2020, SULPLAST started to send all unused IT and telecommunications equipment to the reusing process. Moreover, the company was also transformed into a collection point, where all collaborators can dispose their personal electronic devices that are no longer in use.

Furthermore to ensuring a reduction in the generation of waste and greenhouse gases, the initiative also donates equipment and transfers resources to social projects for digital inclusion, while promoting socio-environmental awareness among collaborators, partners and community members.

This is equivalent to a reforestation project of 1.281 trees planted over 30 years.
