return for the shareholders and maintain the competitiveness of the business. Therefore, its actions are
based on the following principles:
The development of the processes and products should address constant improvement of its
environmental performance;
The environmental component should be incorporated into the stages of planning, projects, construction
and operation of the companys undertakings;
The use of natural resources and the creation of effluents and residues should be minimized
The generation and consumption of renewable energy sources should be prioritised by the company
Transparency regarding the laws and environmental regulations pervades all the actions directed to the
All the employees should participate in trainings and actions in Environmental Education with regard
to the companys activities
of industrial waste, and investing in the generation and consumption of renewable energy sources.
The SGA, through the training in environmental education, works to raise awareness of the employees
as to their commitment to the preservation of the environment and stimulates the development of
environmental projects.

Forest nursery
One of the priorities of the Environmental Management System is the maintenance and recovery of
permanent preservation areas and legal reserves. For this reason, the company has a forest nursery
of its own, which annually produces 200,000 seedlings of different native species and fruit trees.
The saplings are used for the restoration of degraded areas and also for the Environmental Education
projects the company established partnership with in several counties of the region.

Monitoring the consumption of natural resources The consumption of natural resources such as
water, electricity and fuel (diesel and ethanol) is monthly monitored by the several areas according
to the procedures established by the environmental management system of the company. Reduction
targets are established from the quantification of consumption.
Atmospheric emissions The monitoring of black smoke from mobile machinery is accomplished
periodically or when there is evidence of smoke in the equipment.
All of the boilers in the Industrial Unit, where the combustion of the sugarcane bagasse for the
generation of electric energy occurs, are equipped with scrubbers and gas filters. Monitoring of the
atmospheric emissions of boilers is performed annually. The parameters for particulate matter (PM) and
nitrogen oxides (NOx) are determined in the monitoring and must meet the Conama Resolution 382
of December 26, 2006, which establishes the atmospheric pollutants emission ceilings for stationary
sources.

Pesticide containers
Pesticide containers are submitted to triple rinsing in the field. The water from the rinsing is stored
in tanks for reuse. All the containers are made unusable by perforation of the bottom and stored in
appropriate places until transfer to licensed collection centers.
Water consumption
In 2010, the average consumption of water/year in the industrial process was 1.55 m3 per ton of
crushed sugarcane.

Suppliers and service providers respond to the Questionnaire for Environmental Assessment before
being hired. If any environmental aspect that might cause a risk of significant impact be identified in
the performance of their activities, they are advised to first meet the environmental requirements of
Usinas Itamarati before any hiring.
Through external audits, the Environmental Management System analyses the answers of suppliers and
service providers as well as other factors deemed relevant for an environmental performance in line
with the Environmental Policy of Usinas Itamarati.

sectors.
Sepotuba watershed committee - Usinas Itamarati takes part in the Sepotuba Watershed Committee
as a titular member, representing the sector of water users. The Sepotuba Watershed Committee was set
up in accordance with the Resolution no. 004/2006 of the State Council of Water Resources (SCWR)
and brings together representatives of government agencies, water users, civil society and private
organizations of public interest. The committee aims to develop and implement technical management
tools to harmonize conflicts and foster multiple water usage. It also develops actions for the recovery
and conservation of the environment and water resources in a particular watershed.

Soil conservation -
Two basic practices of soil conservation are adopted. Ground Cover: This
practice, organic in character, is designed to keep the soil covered during fallow (one year interruption
of culture to allow the land to lie idle) and the rainy period. The objective is to reduce the effects of
erosion and improve the physical and chemical conditions of the soil. Practices that are mechanical in
character: As measures to minimize the impacts arising from the rain - which entail runoff -, practices
that are mechanical in character have been adopted, such as terracing, which aims to reduce erosion
and avoid the silting up of watercourses.
Another process is subsoiling, which destroys the compacted layer of the soil, improves water infiltration
thus allowing erosion control. This practice renders better development of the root system of the
sugarcane culture, reflected in increased productivity. To control erosion, permanent road conservation
also plays a key role in soil conservation.

We Think Green
During the year, especially during the commemorative weeks of Water, Environment and the Tree,
Usinas Itamarati develops the project We Think Green, donating saplings for the conservation and
restoration of degraded areas in the neighboring counties. Total amount of samplings donated in
2010: 10,306.
Muda Mundo
The project encourages selective garbage collection and the re-urbanization of the counties through the
exchange of pet bottles, collected by the local community, for sapling of native and fruit trees produced
in Forest Nursery of Usinas Itamarati. This activity is developed by the Environmental Management
System in events held in the counties of the region.
Environmental projects
In compliance with the environmental policy and concerned with protecting and improving the
environment, seeking to minimize any impact, the company develops several projects.
Legal timber - Through the environmental qualification of its suppliers, Usinas Itamarati verifies the
origin of the timber used in the company, both for consumption in-natura and use in furniture and
pallets.
Selective garbage collection - All sectors of Usinas Itamarati perform the selective collection of paper,
cardboard and plastic. Recyclable, non-recyclable and hazardous waste is separated by the employees
as to its characterization. All areas have waste collectors placed in strategic spots, identified as to the
type to be disposed of. Used oil is stored and sent for re-refining. Tires, batteries and scrap metal are
recycled. Batteries are sent to the manufacturers and fluorescent lamps are bound for decontamination.
Hazardous waste is sent to licensed companies for incineration.
