GRI 2-8 Workers who are not employees

In 2024, our supplier network included 1,914 registered partners with active contracts supporting operations at Bracell and Bracell Papéis Sudeste, working directly at the Lençóis Paulista (SP) site. In our Bahia and Pernambuco operations—Bracell and Bracell Papéis Nordeste—we had a total of 9,823 suppliers with active contracts.

We sourced 91% of our supplier spend locally in São Paulo—for both Bracell and Bracell Papéis Southeast operations—and 61% in Bahia, for Bracell operations. At Bracell Papéis Nordeste, 53.15% of supplier spend was with local suppliers—for operations in Feira de Santana (BA), São Gonçalo dos Campos (BA), and Pombos (PE).

Local suppliers are defined as those based in the states where our operational sites are located. The percentage of spending on local suppliers is calculated across all sites. For confidentiality reasons, Bracell does not disclose financial data (read more in GRI 204-1: Proportion of spending on locally-based suppliers).
