Volunteering

Through an 18-year-long partnership with the Iochpe Foundation, Formare helps prepare socially vulnerable young adults for the job market by offering a course to prepare future production process operators. The classes are taught by Suzano volunteers in our sites in Aracruz (Espírito Santo), Belém (Pará), Imperatriz (Maranhão), Suzano (São Paulo), Três Lagoas (Mato Grosso do Sul) and Mucuri (Bahia). We are the company with the highest number of Formare classes in Brazil. Visit the Iochpe Foundation website to learn more about the program.

Working together with Junior Achievement, we foster the entrepreneurial spirit of young adults while sharing knowledge and educational experiences, expanding their perceptions regarding the job market and the business world. Visit the Junior Achievement website and learn more about the program.

A collaborative and supportive effort to strengthen the volunteering culture by fostering the leadership of our internal stakeholders, their families and our partners. The project was launched in 2019 in partnership with MGN Consultoria to boost collaboration and local development, encouraging people to exercise citizenship and take social action.

The program encourages Suzano trainees to expand the scope of their volunteer work by mentoring university students. The project is carried out in partnership with the Joule Institute and emphasizes diversity, equity and inclusion. Visit the Joule Institute website to learn more.

We also support social and environmental activities such as blood donations to the Campanha Amigos da Vida (“Friends of Life Campaign”), planting of native trees, the Mostre Seu Amor Pelo Rio Tocantins (“Show Your Love for the Tocantins River”) sustainability initiative, and other projects that foster citizenship and solidarity.
