Rainwater harvesting

Water is an indispensable natural resource for various life cycles, a commodity that is increasingly scarce.

In order to minimize the effects of scarcity and preserve the use of potable groundwater, in 2018, we put into operation a rainwater capture and storage system with a capacity of 7,000 m³. After collection, the water is reused in the industrial process.

Zero Effluent Factory

Seeking to reduce environmental impacts, the 3tentos factory, since its inception, has had a Zero Effluent system. This means that all the effluent generated within the industry is treated and reused, not being released to the environment.

Vegetation Curtain

Vegetation curtain is an alternative that can be used in order to reduce the dust from the industrial activity of grain processing. For this reason, in 2020, we planted 260 tree seedlings around the facilities of the 3tentos plant in Ijuí.

Renovabio

Always focused on the environment and committed to sustainability, in 2019 we started the process to integrate the Federal Government Program RenovaBio. In 2020, we obtained the certification. This means that the entire biodiesel route produced by 3tentos is mapped on its carbon emissions. Our Energy-Environmental Efficiency Rating reflects the care we have taken since the purchase of raw materials and all the optimizations in the production process in order to reduce carbon emissions.

Social fuel seal

3tentos is a company engaged in strengthening family farming and committed to rural men and women. Since 2013 we have had the Social Fuel Seal, an identification given by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply to the Biodiesel producing industries.

To receive the Social Fuel Seal, industries need to comply with some established criteria, among them, obtaining 40% of the raw material for family production for their biodiesel production each year. Currently, 3,534 producers have a contract with 3tentos for the 2020/2021 harvest and can count on our technical assistance for free.

RDI

The Research, Development and Innovation department operates in several lines of research in agriculture, identifying and analyzing the technical or functional feasibility of products, technologies and management strategies. With a systematic view of agriculture, the PDI also seeks to discover, combine and adapt increasingly sustainable solutions via biological products or management strategies.

Sustainability-oriented research aims to meet the needs of each producer, achieve greater productivity with the same resources, balancing efficiency, profitability and sustainability. With this we provide viable solutions for the sustainable development of agriculture, through the generation and transfer of knowledge, benefiting the entire chain and optimizing the results of the property.

Biologicals

Biological products are derived from microorganisms and other sources found in nature. They are used in agricultural production systems for various purposes, such as pest and disease control, plant resistance induction, nutrient mobilization in the soil, growth promotion, nitrogen utilization, among others. Due to their low toxicity and a range of benefits, biological products help promote profitable and sustainable agriculture, reducing impacts on nature and offering several ecological solutions compared to conventional chemical management.
3tentos invests in research to find biological solutions that enable farmers to produce sustainably and profitably. In 2020, we launched the 1st Biologicals Week, a moment that marked our entry into the world of biological products and our ongoing commitment to producing food sustainably. Due to the success of the campaign, we created the Biologicals Season, which takes place twice a year, lasting for a month.

”Sowing for a Better World” Committee

Founded in March 2017, the“Sowing for a Better World” Socio-Environmental Management Committee is formed by volunteer employees with the objective of developing socio-environmental projects. We believe in a better world and, for that, we sow small actions establishing a harmonious link with the community and the environment.

Environmental education

The issue of environmental awareness is periodically discussed with our employees after lectures. In addition, we develop sustainable actions, such as projects for legal separation and collection of batteries. The recyclable material is donated to the Association of Waste Pickers of each city.

Family Day

One of the initiatives of the ”Sowing for a Better World” Committee is the holding of the Family Day. Every year we organize a special day at the company with recreational activities for children and technical visits for other family members.

On that occasion, we integrated the approach to some socio-environmental theme in order to insert families in this context of awareness and preservation of natural resources. This moment is very important, as it generates the engagement of professionals and their families, strengthening the bond between family and company.

Governance

3tentos has a permanent commitment to the principles of transparency, equity, accountability and corporate responsibility. To this end, it has a solid and transparent governance model, with responsibilities divided between the Board of Directors, the Executive Board and inspection and control bodies.

The Company has three committees: Audit Committee, Risk Committee and ESG Committee, as well as an Audit Department, which ensure the minimization of the most diverse risks and the adherence of internal controls to internal and external standards. In addition, an accounting and financial audit is performed annually by an external organization. The Codes of Ethics and Conduct establish references for the professional and personal conduct of all those involved. They are in line with the best governance and ethical management practices, and are standard for 3tentos internal and external relationships with people within the corporate interest.

Considering the relevance of socio-environmental issues, 3tentos has a robust environmental management system, which monitors impacts on the environment and the continuous improvement of systems. Every 2 years, an external environmental audit is carried out, which verifies environmental management and compliance with applicable standards.

Promoting the well-being of customers, employees, business partners and the local community is a priority for the company, which is why 3tentos has a free, permanently open Reporting Channel, which allows anonymous registration of information, suggestions or complaints from any nature that are not in accordance with the code of ethics or the values of 3tents. The team of ombudsmen is composed exclusively of psychologists trained to obtain the greatest amount of information without compromising the anonymity and security of the source. Complaints and information are directed to a committee composed of managers from different areas who carry out the appropriate treatment.

Sustainability Report

Sustainability has always been present in 3tentos DNA, in a genuine and transparent way. With responsibility throughout the Agribusiness chain, we bring solutions to rural producers, who, in addition to being largely responsible for feeding the world, also contribute to the production of renewable fuels.

Through the engagement of our stakeholders, we develop our materiality. From there, we present our Sustainability Report for the base year 2021, prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and ensured by SGS.
