At Marbrasa, responsibility is more than just a word - it's a philosophy that guides every step we take. From the beginning of our journey, we understood the importance of acting with care, both for the environment and for the people around us.
These actions are not just part of what we do; they are the essence of who we are. To ensure that this mentality is perpetuated, we have established a committee dedicated to sustainability, committed to the ESG pillars.
Our aim is to leave a legacy of responsibility and inspire others to follow suit, showing how our actions can create a lasting and positive impact on society, our employees and future generations.
Camilo Cola Environmental Reserve wins 1st place in the Biguá Sustainability Award 2023
The Camilo Cola Environmental Reserve project was once again a finalist for the Biguá Sustainability Award, 2023 edition, and this time it won first place in the private companies category. The awards ceremony took place in Colatina on October 18th. Representing the project were General Manager Filipe Caldeira, Analysts Renan Carvalho and João Santos, and Extraction Supervisor Ermanes Mendes. The Camilo Cola Environmental Reserve is a Marbrasa initiative, located in São Gabriel de Baunilha, Colatina-ES.
Its objectives include implementing forest restoration, environmental education and scientific research. This reserve is of great importance to the region and is home to several species of wildlife. Among the research projects is the study of insect diversity, carried out in partnership with UFES. Part of the results of this study were presented at an international symposium in September this year. The project also carries out educational visits to schools in the region to raise environmental awareness. The Biguá Sustainability Award, run by @tvgazetaes , aims to recognize and publicize good sustainable practices carried out by various sectors of society.
It is located in São Gabriel de Baunilha/ES, near the Preto São Gabriel quarry. As well as having a green belt with various species of Atlantic Forest trees, it has a seed bank, springs and a lake, in total harmony with the environment. The total area is 258 ha and through mitigation, preservation and replanting actions, it is becoming an important forest for the region. The Camilo Cola reserve also has a partnership with the Colatina Municipal Department of Education for school groups to visit.
On April 28th, we inaugurated the Camilo Cola Environmental Reserve in São Gabriel de Baunilha (Colatina/ES), named after the company's founder. The event was attended by various local authorities, company employees and partners who helped consolidate the project.
The Environmental Reserve covers an area of 270 hectares, of which 74% is fully protected and 26% is sustainable use. 100 ha have been completely reforested as environmental compensation and another 100 ha are being reforested on the company's initiative. There is also a legal reserve of 80 ha, which will be increased as isolated forest fragments are connected through reforestation and form new ecological corridors. In addition to having a grove of Sapucaia trees, which in Tupi means "fruit that makes your eyes pop out", several native species have been replanted over the years, including a seed nursery. More recent studies have found species such as the bush dog and the bearded monkey - discoveries that underline the positive impact of the recovery.
Another achievement of the Reserve was the official inclusion in the Research areas of the Regenera Brasil Project, a Federal Government program that evaluates different forest restoration techniques and local environmental data.
Recently, Marbrasa set up a multidisciplinary team to deal with ESG projects in a broader and more collaborative way. Various sustainability actions are being implemented in line with good environmental, social and market governance practices.
All electronic equipment or material controlled by Marbrasa's IT and which can no longer be used or reused is sent for environmentally friendly electronic disposal through an eventual process, according to the volume accumulated, in conjunction with the environment sector.A few years ago, we also formed an internal partnership between the IT, Environment and Marketing sectors to carry out a campaign for other areas, also collecting batteries, calculators, among other equipment, increasing the volume of material collected for environmentally correct disposal.
This campaign reinforces our commitment to the environment and also aims to raise awareness of the correct way to dispose of this type of material. In addition to this internal action carried out by Marbrasa, the Cachoeiro de Itapemirim city council also carries out a campaign every year, with the following as recommendations for disposing of the material we have at home
Marbrasa is a partner of RochaAtiva, which has several social projects to support the most vulnerable population.
In partnership with the Evangelical Hospital of Cachoeiro, Marbrasa participates in social support for cancer victims in the municipality, including supporting campaigns such as Pink October and Blue November on behalf of employees and society in general.
From the 6th month of pregnancy onwards, our pregnant employees, as well as employees whose wives are in the gestation period, are entitled to the Baby Kit benefit.
The "Tampinha Solidária Marbrasa" campaign was conceived by Marbrasa's endomarketing team with the aim of collecting plastic caps to support the S.O.S Animais de Rua NGO. This initiative aims to finance castration and provide support for the animals rescued by the NGO.
The caps collected are recycled and the money raised from the sale of the recyclable material goes entirely to the NGO's activities, which include veterinary care, feeding and sheltering homeless animals. The campaign not only contributes to animal protection, but also promotes environmental awareness and the engagement of our employees in the cause.
In October and November, Marbrasa supports the Pink October and Blue November campaigns, whose main objective is to value life by raising awareness of the need for early detection of breast and prostate cancer.
These campaigns are already traditional in our region and have been carried out uninterruptedly by GAPCCI (Cancer Support House in partnership with the Evangelical Hospital of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim) since 2010, which Marbrasa has successfully sponsored.
As a basic premise of Marbrasa, the protection of the sensitive or non-sensitive data of its customers and employees is a value that we do not give up. For this reason, we are in the process of implementing, in line with the Data Protection Act, several internal projects aimed at taking a critical look at the handling of personal data. Planning, interviews with business areas and technical and legal assessments are all part of the scope of the project and the management of data protection in the Marbrasa universe.
The evolutionary sustainability project aims to map out the succession process in the company's various departments as a way of ensuring the company's perpetuity, as well as integrating the various departments in a cohesive manner and with common objectives.
