Enviroment - Environment - At Sítios Brigitte, the actions taken to recover and preserve the environment are:

  1. Organic food cultivation - recovers the soil with composting practices, green manure, planting in straw (Direct Planting System for Vegetables (SPDH)), crop consortium.
  2. Reforestation with native plant species, whether fruit-bearing or not, and endangered - partnerships with various organizations for the next two years are already underway, such as the TAJ-Litoral project, which aims to strengthen the Juçara palm value chain.
  3. Gradual replacement of areas covered with Eucalyptus trees with Agroforestry Systems (SAFs).
  4. Wastewater treatment using Evapotranspiration Basins (BET) or Root Zone Wastewater Treatment Plants (ETZR) and banana circles.
  5. Waste management - we sort recyclable waste, which is deposited at the collection point on the Carol site for later collection by the Morretes Recyclable Material Collectors' Cooperative - ACOMAREM. Compostable waste is shredded and turned into fertilizer in the compost bins.
  6. Renewable energy - Sítios Brigitte's solar energy system generates more than double the energy needed by the company.

Social - At Sítios Brigitte, our premise is social development for all. To this end, we carry out the following actions:

  1. All the employees come from the community and are hired for an indefinite period, in addition to enjoying the prerogatives laid down in the Consolidated Labor Law (CLT).
  2. The service providers who work with us on a non-employment basis are individual micro-entrepreneurs, also from the local community.
  3. We invest in the training and qualification of everyone in the group, organizing around five courses a year, mostly related to rural work and worker safety. People from nearby communities and service providers are always invited to take part.
  4. The team meets at least twice a year to clarify goals, organization, changes, current and future situation. This ensures transparency and commitment from those involved.
  5. We currently generate employment and social security for 10 families. We have a career plan that takes into account the development and commitment of each member of the group. We strive for equal gender distribution in the company.

Governance - The principles of the transparent administrative organization of gender equality, fairness and respect are preached by the Firm in the following ways:

  1. We pay special attention to transparency in all our actions, whether between team members, in the administrative environment vis-à-vis regulatory bodies or in partnerships and cooperation.
  2. Accountability is widely exercised and tasks and results are routinely discussed.
  3. Fairness in dealings, so that everyone can achieve their goals in a way that suits their potential.
  4. Our goal is to establish a culture of corporate responsibility in the Firm, where the pronoun "we" is preferred to "I".
