You and Fibria
Institutional | Commitments
We have voluntarily adopted a variety of pro-life initiatives, such as the UN Global Compact and the Pact for the Restoration of the Atlantic Forest, and have received recognition from all the leading bodies for certification and sustainability indices, such as the FSC, Cerflor, the Dow Jones Global Sustainability Index (DJSI World) and the São Paulo Stock Exchange Sustainability Index (ISE Bovespa).
The following are the principal initiatives supported by Fibria.
Global Compact
The Global Compact is a UN initiative, aimed at the business community, to address fundamental values in the areas of Human Rights, Work, the Environment and Fighting Corruption. Among the Global Compact focus areas, a set of environmental principles has been developed, based on the Rio ’92 Declaration on Environment and Development.
Corporate Agreement For Integrity and Against Corruption
This initiative, launched in 2006, arose from the perception that Brazil simply cannot go on paying the social, economic and political cost of the successive cases of corruption that the country periodically faces. Fibria has made a voluntary commitment in favor of ethics in business.
This pact is the result of the efforts of the Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility, UniEthos – Preparation and Development of Socially Responsible Management, Patri Government Relations & Public Policies, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Brazilian Committee of the Global Compact.
National Pact for the Eradication of Slave Labor
Fibria has made this commitment to the Ethos Institute, which, together with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the NGO Repórter Brasil, orchestrated the pact in order to combat slave labor in Brazil.
The agreement, signed by VCP in 2005, introduces measures such as: commercial and financial restrictions on companies and/or individuals who provide working conditions that can be described as slavery; normalizing labor relations within the production chain; supporting awareness building among the more vulnerable workers; professional training and development of freed workers; monitoring of the adopted initiatives and annual assessment of the application of the measures.
In the Right Hands Agreement
The “Pacto na Mão Certa” is a World Childhood Foundation (WCF-Brasil) initiative, in partnership with the Ethos Institute and supported by technical assistance from the International Labour Organization. The program aims to combat the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in Brazil.
